Dr. Allen S. Goldey was born in Atlanta and grew up near Daytona Beach, Florida. As a child, he was always interested in becoming a dentist, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and uncle. After graduating from Florida State University with a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, Dr. Goldey attended University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore. During his time in dental school, he was awarded a Health Professions Scholarship through the U.S. Air Force (USAF). During this time, Dr. Goldey married Anya Freiman Goldey, a Maine native, and together they decided they planned to eventually settle in Maine.
After receiving his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree in 2003, Dr. Goldey began practicing dentistry in the USAF. As a Captain, he served our country at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, from 2003-2006. Lackland Air Force Base proved to be a great place to begin a dental career as it had the most dental specialists and advanced dental training programs in the USAF. This gave Dr. Goldey several hundred hours of post-graduate dental training in most dental specialties with direct supervision of complicated procedures. Dr. Goldey recently completed the Live Implant Training (84 PACE CE hours in dental implant placement).
Dr. Goldey is a member of theAmerican Dental Association(ADA), a fellow of theAmerican Academy of Implant Prosthodontics(AAIP), theMaine Dental Association(MDA), and is a past President of the Kennebec Valley Dental Society (KVDS, 2011-2014). He served on Maine Dental Association's Peer Review Committee from 2012-2015. Dr. Goldey also works at the Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency by teaching young doctors about dental conditions. He has given back to his community by donating dental services and by offering educational presentations at local schools, daycare centers, and community events.
Dr. Goldey moved to Maine in 2006. He bought Lovejoy Dental Center shortly thereafter and has enjoyed working with the patients and staff in the Central Maine area. His wife, Anya, is self-employed as a grant program evaluator and consultant. Together they are the proud parents of two children, Samuel and Lilah. They live in the outskirts of Augusta. Away from the office, Dr. Goldey enjoys the outdoors, playing guitar, skiing, snowmobiling, motorcycling, traveling and spending time with his family in our beautiful state.

I love this dentist office. Dr. Goldey is very caring and down to earth. He goes above and beyond what other dentists would do for their patients. The office is very homey, decorated with his mother's lovely paintings, and the staff is super friendly and capable. There is not a trace of pretentiousness in any of the people there.

Today I came in worried about a sore jaw. The doctor came in and said I had a crack in my tooth that went too far to be saved. He was so wonderful explaining what was happening and very through. The reception lady was wonderful also! She worked with my schedule and got me in ASAP. Great place!

Tucked away in the tiny town of Albion is a remarkable dentist and his staff. He's informative, funny and compassionate. The office and staff are equally remarkable.. we never feel as though we are "patients" bur rather "good friends" with an issue. Thank you for your help.

A real "take care of business" dental practice. I've never had an oversell for work I didn't need, and the work I have had done just, well, works!
