Dr. Irina Babayan

I moved to Maine with my family when I was 13 and graduated from Portland High School four years later.  I went on to attend Bates College in Lewiston where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Biology.  After a stint as a research assistant at Harvard Medical School in Boston, I attended the New York University College of Dentistry where I earned my DDS degree.  Following dental school, I completed my residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.  I have been with the practice since returning to Maine in 2007.

I have been inspired to become a health care professional by my late grandmother who was an operating room nurse.  I chose to become a dentist because to me dentistry is the perfect mix of science and art.  It is extremely rewarding to help patients maintain their oral health and achieve their aesthetic goals.

I place high priority on keeping my clinical skills up-to-date to provide my patients with the best possible care.  I regularly attend continuing education courses and seminars and I am a pre-fellow of Academy of General Dentistry.  I am also a member of American Dental Association and Maine Dental Association.

I live in Falmouth with my husband, two boys, and our pet rabbit.  I love educating children about dental health and regularly volunteer at local schools, including the Falmouth school system.  I also enjoy cooking, running, and traveling with my family.
