Hi. If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for a new dentist.

You’ve probably read a lot of “About the Dentist” pages with lists of schools and certifications. Is that really what you’re looking for? Do they really help you know who the dentist is, or how they will take care of you? Not really.

You probably already know I have all the requirements necessary to be your dentist. So this is going to be different. I promise.

What’s really important – and you deserve to know – is why you should trust me with you and your family’s dental health.

So here’s my story. I hope it helps you decide, and I hope to hear your story someday too!

Read my full profile:

I find joy in performing all aspects of general dentistry with a special interest in aesthetic and restorative dentistry. I love working with patients and take pride in being approachable and caring to all ages.

I am committed to providing comprehensive care tailored to patients’ expectations, even if it means going the extra mile to fulfill it successfully. I take pride in the quality of my care, staff, and equipment so patients receive the highest levels of care and commitment.

Outside of my dental career, I focus on being healthy, exercising, doing yoga, and taking care of my family. I love spending time with my “munchkins” Dhiman and Kriesha. I enjoy hiking, badminton, and traveling in my spare time.

Read my full profile:

I’m from a small town in Northern Ontario. I knew I wanted to be a hygienist at a very young age, as teeth have always fascinated me!

I did a co-op placement in High School, which lead to a part-time job. I started my career by studying Dental Assisting and graduated as a Dental Hygienist in 2010.

After graduation, I made my way up to Iqaluit, Nunavut to gain experience. I met my future husband and continued a long distance relationship that lead me out West. We now live in Okotoks with our young son!

Hygiene is my passion and I enjoy taking continuing education courses and learning new techniques.

I was born and raised in the Calgary area. I graduated Dental Hygiene school in 2010 from Loma Linda University in Southern California where I met some of my closest friends.

In my spare time I enjoy fishing and hunting!

My favourite part about being a dental hygienist is building relationships with my patients.

Request an appointment with Kirsten:

I was born in Calgary and I’ve been a Dental Assistant since 2012.

Outside of work my free time is in high demand… I adore animals and I love video games.

I’m also an avid reader. My favourite way to travel is by cruise, so it’s hard to beat the combination — a new book (or three) plus endless views and relaxing over the open water!

I’ve been in the dental industry for over 20 years, and a part of the Friends and Family dental team since 2014.

I’m originally from Kelowna BC, and moved to Calgary as a young child.

I enjoy spending my spare time with my two children, playing golf, and travelling. In the Winter, I especially enjoy escaping the cold by travelling to tropical destinations.

I’m happy to be part of an excellent team, getting to know each patient, and watching younger patients grow up through the years!
