The People Behind the Practice
We believe the people in the room matter as much as the technology. Our team is small enough to know your name, and skilled enough to handle whatever you walk in with.
Lead Dentist
DDS, BMedSci — University of Alberta
Welcome to Crestmont Dental! I was born and raised in Medicine Hat, and after briefly exploring neuroscience, I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Medical Sciences and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Along the way I had the privilege of participating in mission trips abroad and local community volunteer projects — experiences that deepened my commitment to patient-centred care and community involvement.
After graduation, I completed a general practice residency at the Foothills Medical Centre, where I treated patients with complex medical backgrounds, special needs, and diverse circumstances. This training included extensive experience with multiple forms of sedation dentistry — including IV conscious sedation — which I'm proud to offer our patients today. More recently, I graduated from the Kois Centre in Seattle, an internationally recognized institution for evidence-based dental education. That curriculum — covering esthetics, implant dentistry, and restorative care — continues to shape how I approach every patient and treatment plan.
I sincerely look forward to building long-lasting relationships with every person who trusts me with their care. Dental education and a patient-centred approach go hand in hand, and our team is here to support you at every step.

Family Dentist
DDS — McGill University | BSc Life Sciences — Queen's University
I grew up right nearby, in Calgary, Alberta. As an undergraduate student, I went to the University of Calgary and enjoyed my time there tremendously. I then transferred to Queen's University to finish my undergraduate degree and earned a bachelor's of sciences in LifeSciences. Boy, did I ever miss the Alberta winter sunshine when I lived there! From there, I went on to McGill University in Montreal to study dentistry. During my years at McGill, I learned all the key qualities that make up a caring and compassionate dentist. The most important of all is to listen well and work as a team with our patients. I further honed my skills by practicing in Montreal for one year, before moving to Vancouver Island to continue practice for three more years. Throughout those years, I missed my family dearly so I decided to move back to Calgary. I am happy to be working at the Crestmont Dental clinic, providing the best treatment and patient experience possible both in French and in English.
In my free time, I love to watch movies, go disc golfing, play tennis and too many other things to list!

Registered Dental Hygienist
Originally from Calgary, I grew up around dentistry thanks to my dad, who was a dentist. After earning my Kinesiology degree from St. Francis Xavier University (StFX), I returned home to work at my dad's dental practice, where I quickly discovered my own passion for helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.
Registered Dental Hygienist
Originally from Ontario, I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2014. I've gained experience providing patient care across Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta. I enjoy connecting with patients and creating a comfortable experience in the dental chair. Fun fact: I am also a certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, allowing me to bring an additional level of knowledge and care to my patients.
Registered Dental Hygienist
I grew up in Cochrane and began my dental career after graduating from SAIT as a dental assistant in 2022. After two years of assisting, I discovered a passion for preventive oral health, which inspired me to pursue dental hygiene. I recently graduated from dental hygiene school in Toronto and am excited to begin my career as a registered dental hygienist, helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.
Registered Dental Assistant
I've been working in the dental field since 2021, with experience in both dental assisting and administration. I enjoy connecting with patients, answering their questions, and helping them feel comfortable and confident throughout their dental visits.
Registered Dental Assistant
Originally from Lethbridge, I completed my dental assisting education at SAIT in 2024. The positive experiences I've had as a child during my dental visits have motivated me to pursue a career where I can help patients feel comfortable and create the same positive experience for others.
Registered Dental Assistant
Originally from a small French town in Manitoba, I spent most of my childhood growing up in Cochrane, Alberta. I completed my dental assisting education at KDM in 2022 and have always had a passion for dentistry.
Registered Dental Assistant
Originally from Melfort, Saskatchewan, I've been working in the dental field for nine years as a dental assistant, graduating from SAIT in 2017. During my days off throughout the school year, you'll often find me volunteering with The Alex's Dental Bus program.
