Spark Dental

I was born and raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta. I earned my B.Sc. in Physiology and Development from the University of Alberta before moving to Cleveland, Ohio, where I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Case Western Reserve University in 2013. I practiced in the Cleveland area for two years before returning to Calgary in 2015 to be closer to my family. I’m a graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, where I studied under Dr. John Kois. The Kois curriculum is one of the most demanding continuing education programs in dentistry, and completing it changed the way I practice. Rather than simply treating problems as they appear, I focus on understanding why they developed in the first place. This allows me to develop comprehensive treatment plans designed to stand the test of time. That training is reflected in the range of care I’m able to provide under one roof. I offer…

Being in this career more than a decade, I've come to realize that a LOT of people are fed up with (and even avoid) dentistry altogether. They're tired of fixing the same teeth over and over, only for more teeth to break down and cause them pain. They’ve lost all trust in dentists, and feel like they will never have the smile they dreamt of, or the pain-free life they used to hope for. Even worse, many of these patients have silently withdrawn from life due to embarrassment. I've seen it all, and I've made it my mission to help such people. The great news is, there’s almost always a solution to those problems of the past. Dentistry has come a long way, and it gives us a healthy, long-term fix for nearly any situation. You don't have to keep living in fear of the next tooth breaking, or that denture slipping out of your mouth in public. My promise to you is that we will work together,…

I grew up in Medicine Hat, Alberta. At the time, it was a city of 55,000 but felt very much like a small town. After two years of study at Medicine Hat College, I moved to Edmonton to begin my dental education at the University of Alberta. Upon graduation in 2011, I decided to further my dental training by entering a general practice residency offered by the University of British Columbia. This program, based in Vancouver General Hospital, provided me with the opportunity to further my dental skills and knowledge and gain valuable insight in the ways in which medicine and dentistry work together. What initially attracted me to dentistry was a love of science combined with the significantly challenging technical component of dentistry. What I did not expect from a dental career was how much social interaction it would involve. This has become my favourite part of my job. I love…

After earning my Bachelor of Science degree from Queen’s University, I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Alberta. I’m thrilled to return to my hometown of Calgary and provide comprehensive, patient-centered care across all areas of general dentistry. I’m committed to clinical excellence and take pride in my gentle approach and ability to put patients at ease. I strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment where every patient feels genuinely cared for. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy staying active outdoors, traveling, and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I grew up in a small town in BC, where I developed a passion for art and science. Fun fact: while I was in high school, I was scouted by a university for my exceptional skills in flamenco guitar. I went on to obtain my BSc. Honours in Biotechnology from the University of British Columbia. After spending a few years as a scientist researching cancer therapeutics, I decided to continue my education and study Dentistry at the University of Alberta. I enjoy every day that I get to practice dentistry, as it allows me to combine my love of art and science to help my patients.
