Our Dentists
Marcus Wilkerson, DDS
Dr. Marcus Wilkerson grew up in Fulton, Missouri. He received his BA in History from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Wilkerson continued his education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry where he earned his DDS. During dental school, he worked in the Special Patient Care Clinic as well as several outreach clinics and was a National Health Services Corps Scholar.

Dr. Wilkerson and his wife, Miriam, are the parents of four children. They enjoy traveling and introducing their children to new cultures. They often joke that though they are “from away.” Chael, their youngest child is a true Mainer, having been born at Eastern Maine Medical Center. Dr. Wilkerson is an avid fan of all music that is blue, i.e. Blues, Bluegrass, and Blue Seas (Jimmy Buffett).
A quote from the doctor:
“Our family lucked out when my residency training brought us to Maine. When we came here our children were 3, 5, 7, and unborn. In the two years we spent here we fell in love with the place and the people. When my residency was finished we thought going back closer to home was the best thing for our family, but we were wrong. After only two years, Maine had become home to us and our children. We are truly grateful to be back in this community and look forward to many more summers and winters here at home.”
Terrin Porter, DDS
Dr. Porter was raised in Grover, Wyoming, and received his BS in Human Biology at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Porter completed his dental training at the University of Missouri where he was selected to participate in a Pediatric Honors Program in his last year of Dental School.
Upon graduation, Dr. Porter and his family moved to Casper, Wyoming where, for two years, he worked with children in a pediatric dental office. He enjoyed the atmosphere of this office so much that he decided to continue with his education and become a pediatric dentist. In 2012, Dr. Porter and his family moved to Anchorage, Alaska to complete a hospital-based pediatric dental residency at the Alaska Native Medical Center.
He and his wife Angie have a loud, active home life with six children of their own. Together, they enjoy going to their children’s activities, wrestling in the living room, Friday night campfires in the backyard, and anything they can do outdoors together. Dr. Porter is excited to be in Maine and looks forward to meeting you.
