Peter B. Laliberte, DMD, MAGD
Dr. Peter B. Laliberte grew up in Waterville and attended the local public school system. Peter received his undergraduate education from the University of Maryland from 1969-1972. There, he was the founder of the college ski team and was a zoology major. Prior to graduating he was accepted to Tufts School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated from there in 1975, as an award recipient, from their accelerated three-year dental program. Dr. Laliberte then began a one-year residency at Eastman Dental Center in Rochester, New York. While there, he participated in clinical and intensive didactic activities, and engaged in research oriented around the effects of Titanium Tetrafluoride on dentin acid dissolution. The joint findings were reported on internationally.
Dr. Laliberte began practicing in August of 1976 in Waterville, Maine. Since then, Peter has become very active in continuing education and service, both in his field and in the …community. He is a founder and past president of the Kennebec Valley Dental Study Club and past president of the Maine Academy of General Dentistry. Also, as editor, he was very active in the improvement of the Maine Academy of General Dentistry Newsletter. In 1998, through almost twenty years of continuing education, he was honored as a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (M.A.G.D), an honor that only a few dentists in the state have attained. Additionally, in the summer of 2004, Dr. Laliberte received a fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantology (I.C.O.I) for his continued study of the dental implants. He has now been in practice in Waterville for over 30 years and still truly loves the field of dentistry.
Peter has two sons. The oldest, Scott graduated from Colby College with a degree in Economics. Scott passed away at 25 while in his second year at Palmer College’s Chiropractic school in Port Orange, Florida. On September 22, 2006, he was honored by his class, Scott T. Laliberte Memorial Class, with the dedication of a symbolic tree planted at the entrance to the new campus. Scott was a terrific man, friend and student who left a legacy that would make any parent proud.
Doug graduated from Colby as well with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Policy. We are elated to say that Doug has chosen to
pursue a career in dentistry and has recently graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Both boys attended the Winslow School system and were active athletically as well as academically. Peter and their mother Donna, were very involved in their lives and continue to support them in their endeavors. Dr. Laliberte became the president of the Winslow High School Soccer Boosters and both he and his wife were involved in their children’s project graduations. Peter is a past chairman of the Kennebec Catholic Charities organization and past vice chairman of the local American Cancer Society.
Peter’s life has always involved two things, his love for the outdoors and athletics. At a young age, Peter began ski racing, sailing, and golf, three sports that he still enjoys today. Peter’s love for nature has been passed on to his family. His boys grew up hiking, camping, fishing and hunting with their dad. Peter will forever be in the pursuit of the one that got away.
Dr. Laliberte’s emphasis on excellence has been evident throughout his life, but especially in his practice of dentistry. You will note modern, ever-changing facilities as well as attention to his patients’ every need. New patients are given comprehensive evaluations and written recommendations. Continuing education and constant improvement is always forthcoming. Please come see us!
