She earned a Bachelor degree in Biology and Clinical Laboratory Sciences from Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. To further her studies, Dr. Maia pursued and earned a Doctorate degree in Dental Medicine from UMDNJ.

Her desire and passion for science and medicine lead her to continue and successfully complete a postgraduate degree, where she earned a Masters in Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Maia defended her thesis, which explored the role of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 in periodontal disease and resorption of alveolar bone. The study also correlated the effects of triclosan found in local delivery systems to manage periodontal conditions.

Dr. Maia continued to further her interest in medicine by specializing in the field of Oral Medicine, where her expertise and extensive training enable her to treat a variety of medically complex conditions that require both medical and dental management of such disorders prior and during dental treatment.
