Meet Our Doctors
Maria Bender, DMD
Maria Bender, DMD, loves serving patients at our Allegheny, Northeast Philadelphia, and Cherry Hill, New Jersey locations. She is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry as well as the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association. She attended Rutgers School of Dental Medicine and is a part of the local Temple Pediatric Dental Residency Program. Originally from Hillsborough, NJ, and a second-generation dentist in her family, she is passionate about providing for the pediatric dental needs of the Philadelphia community. When she’s not with her patients, she loves to cook, play with her two rescue dogs, or enjoy a game of tennis.
My parents are both public health dentists; growing up I saw how they were able to change people’s lives for the better, one smile at a time!
