Dr. Maria Meliton, DMD

Dr. Maria Meliton knew early on that she was meant to work with children. During her years at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, she gravitated to the pediatric dental department and excelled with communicating and working with the young patients. After dental school, Dr. Meliton completed her pediatric dental residency at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health in Rochester, NY.

Dr. Meliton is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She is on the active staff at Penn Medicine - Lancaster General Health, Department of Surgery - Dental Division. She is a member of Catapult Education as a product reviewer and speaker.

Her interests in dentistry include full mouth rehabilitation cases that are often completed with an in-house board certified dental anesthesiologist and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry cases for her young patients. She loves to solve problems and see the transformation that she can create not only in terms of a child’s smile and overall comfort but also in their self-esteem. Her practice is prevention-based and she works diligently with educating patients and their parents on how to prevent dental decay.

Dr. Meliton maintains a fee for service private practice with two office locations limited to infants, children, teens and young adults in Lancaster County, PA. It was important to her to have a working environment that was inviting and pleasant not only to her and her team but also for her many patients. Her state-of-the-art facility has received design awards for interior architecture in healthcare design from the American Institute of Architects and from the International Interior Design Association. The practice has been featured in the book, Healthcare Spaces, published in 2013 and in several other magazine and design publications.
