Meet Danielle!

After earning my dental assistant certification in 2013 from KDM Dental College, I continued to develop my skill set and become cross-trained as an Orthodontic assistant.

I joined the Sana Dental team in 2021. I am very excited to be part of such a caring and innovative team. Sana Dental team shares my passion for the creation of exceptional patient experiences before, during, and after their dental appointment.

The most rewarding part of my job is making patients feel at ease, helping them achieve a beautiful smile, and aiding them to live healthier lives.

Away from the office, my world revolves around my big crazy family and I enthusiastically support my children’s sports. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, a good novel, and catching up on sleep!

I look forward to meeting you at Sana Dental!

Tori

Administrator/ Financial Coordinator

Meet Tori!

My journey in dentistry started almost 7 years ago, I am a trained RDA from Ireland and moved to Canada two years ago. Since being in Edmonton I have thrown myself into the administration world and I love it. Providing top dental care for patients and easing their anxieties is one of my greatest passions, and building a good relationship with patients brings me great joy.

In the future I can see myself going back into the clinical side of dentistry.

Outside of work I love spending time with my partner Matt and our furbaby Penny. We love hiking in the beautiful Canadian mountains, and travelling back home to Ireland and the rest of Europe when we can.

Tori looks forward to seeing you soon!
