Meet The Doctors

Dr. Daniel L. Steinke, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.

Dr. Daniel L. Steinke, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.

Let me introduce myself. In my personal time, while not in the office with you enjoying the people and challenges of dentistry, my interests focus on my family, athletics, and the outdoors.

After growing up in Michigan, I attended the University of Iowa on a football scholarship and although we didn't visit the Rose Bowl, I was able to graduate in the Honors College majoring in pre dental science, biochemistry, and nutrition.

I married Beth, my high school sweetheart, in Yarmouth and then fell in love with Maine. We spent the next year at the University of Maine at Orono where I taught and did research in biochemistry and nutrition.

We returned to Iowa for dental school where I graduated with honors and received awards, including the Academy of Orthodontics award and the Dean's Leadership award. A year's post-graduate residency at Maine Medical Center brought us back to Maine permanently.

For the next six years I developed my practice in South Portland, enjoyed a very satisfying and rewarding dental practice and thought I would stay there until I retired. Fate led us to Dover-Foxcroft and to people who value the importance of family and a unique quality of life.

We have four children, Hillary, Heather, Jeff and Chris who continue to provide our greatest joy in their growth and love. We also have one son-in-law, Joe Caruso, who married Hillary in 2000.

Dr. Kevin Devine, D.D.S.

Hello, I am Kevin Devine and describe myself as the “new, old guy” in the practice. I was born in Columbia, Illinois. It is a small community not far from St. Louis, Missouri. It was there that I grew up and graduated high school. I attended Southern Illinois University, received my degree in Biochemistry, and went on to graduate from their Dental Medicine program in 1983. I then served as a dental officer in the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. After marrying my wife Kathryn, we bought the practice of my childhood dentist and started our life back in my home town. I practiced there for 30 years and sold the practice in 2017. Not being ready to retire though, a good friend offered me an opportunity that Kathy and I could not pass up. Doctors Steinke and Caruso have welcomed me into the practice allowing us to live in a beautiful place in semi-retirement and continue to do what I love, which is helping people get healthier. We have one son, Charles. He and his wife Christina have blessed us with a grandson, Grant, who we so enjoying watch grow. We have two Australian Shepherds that we rescued and they keep us entertained and active. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story. We are about building relationships with the people we serve. Thanks for making Kathy and I feel so welcome.
