I grew up in Englefeld, Saskatchewan, a modest town of hard-working country folk, located squarely in the middle of nowhere. After completion of highschool and some time in the work force I decided to return to school and began my studies at the University of Alberta, first completing a Bachelor of Medical Science and later the Doctor of Dental Surgery program. During my training as a General Dentist I also conducted or assisted in various research projects with the radiology division, publishing papers regarding cavity detection using xray imaging and strategies to reduce radiation exposure to patients.

After completing my degrees I realized I had fallen in love with Edmonton and have practiced dentistry here ever since. I am now practicing at the Griesbach and Downtown CORE locations, and am looking forward to helping Edmontonians smile a little brighter for many years to come!

My name is Kristal.  I am a Registered Dental Assistant and the Office Manager at Brintnell Dental.  I have been at Brintnell since the day we opened in November 2014.

The dental field has been my passion for the last 10 years.  Before Brintnell, I worked as an assistant in numerous other dental offices, including prosthodontic and oral surgery specialty clinics.  My previous experiences have been an asset, allowing me to help make Brintnell run efficiently for each and every patient.  I am very happy that I have the opportunity to be at this amazing office.

We have a great team of dedicated professionals that I have become very close to.  Everyone believes that patient needs come first, and we all work together as a team to ensure this happens.  I spend time with each patient at the end of every appointment to ensure that they understand the recommended treatment and are aware of the associated costs.  I also ask if there is anything we could have done better, as we are always trying to improve the patient experience.

My family is very important in my life. I have 3 daughters, a 7-year-old, a 13-year-old, and a 16-year-old.  I have a cat and one dog.  This makes for a very busy personal life.  I volunteer with my daughters’ activities, enjoy working out, cycling with my children and spending time with my extended family.

My daughter keeps me pretty busy, but I like to read and walk our 2 dogs in my downtime. I also enjoy spending time with my family out at our cabin!

“Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile” Hi! My name is Aman. I’ve been with Brintnell Dental since the very beginning in Late 2014 and with the wonderful people at CORE Dental Group for 2 years now. I was born and raised in North Edmonton and proudly had the opportunity to complete both my medical science and dental degrees at the University of Alberta. My favorite thing about working at Brintnell Dental is interacting with everyone from the community I was raised in. It is so great not only seeing familiar faces but meeting new ones and learning about how our paths have crossed in the past, or about our experiences in the area. I also love working with the great team we have here, it is an absolute pleasure going in everyday! I have always liked working with my hands. Whether it was fixing cars at a young age or doing any kind of renovations I could, I was always getting my hands dirty. While in school, I knew I wanted to be in healthcare and genuinely make an impact but also didn’t want to lose what I grew up loving. Dentistry has been the perfect balance, allowing me to help patients achieve their dental goals and the creating the smiles they deserve while still getting to use the skills I’ve developed. Outside of work, I still love working on cars when I have time. As an avid oilers fan (unfortunately at times), I enjoy watching games with my friends and family. I play a few different sports casually but my passion lies in ball hockey, which I try to play as often as I can. I hope in the future to spend more time traveling outside of Canada. I would love to travel throughout Europe or do a road trip down the west coast down to LA. Next on my list though is Chicago. As a huge music fan, I cannot wait to experience the culture and music scene down there.
