ME
Dr. Maya Ellison, DDS Hi, I am your dentist
Meet the dentist
Dentistry that feels human again
Dr. Ellison founded Riverside Family Dental with one simple goal: make dentistry feel human again. After a decade caring for families across New England, she built a practice where questions are welcome, appointments never feel rushed, and nervous patients feel genuinely heard.
When she is not perfecting smiles, you will find her kayaking the river out back or chasing her two kids (and one very stubborn beagle) around the yard.
Gentle by default
Numbing that actually works, cozy blankets, and a "stop anytime" hand signal.
Honest answers
We only recommend what we would choose for our own family.
On your schedule
Early mornings and select Saturdays for busy households.
Friendly faces
The people behind your smile
A small, dedicated team that remembers your name and your kid's favorite toothpaste flavor.

Sample testimonials - for illustration only
I used to dread the dentist. The team here is so calm and kind that my whole family actually looks forward to visits now.
They explained every option without any pressure and worked with my insurance. My new smile looks completely natural.
My five-year-old left giggling with a new toothbrush. I have never seen a kid so excited about a cleaning.
