Hello! My name is Maryam and I graduated with my DDS from Schulich Dentistry in London, Ontario. Prior to attending dental school, I completed my HBSc from the University of Toronto. Although I was born in Canada, I lived in Pakistan for 13 years before moving back to Ontario with my family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and playing with my two fur babies.

Briana

Role: Dental Hygienist

Education: I received my Advanced Diploma in Dental Hygiene from Canadore College in 2018 where I graduated with honours and the Dr. Max Back Highest Academic Achievement award.

I’ve had the pleasure to work along side the wonderful staff at Hi-Tech Family Dentistry for five years. My passion for helping others shines through with every patient I encounter. When I’m not helping others create healthier and brighter smiles you can find me enjoying time with my Fiancé, our beautiful daughters and our dog who’s much more like a third child.

Dental Assistant - Amenah

Amenah

Role: Dental Assistant

Hello there, I’m Amenah!
I’m an internationally trained dentist from Pakistan, and I recently immigrated to Canada.
Being a dental assistant has been very different from being a dentist, but it’s interesting and challenging in its own right! And the best part of my job is making sure each patient feels calm and comfortable during their respective dental procedure (and having a little chat with them before!)
Outside of work, I enjoy writing in my journal, reading, photography, watching movies, and dressing up (even if I’m just getting groceries!).

Beatriz

Hey there! I’m Beatriz, but you can call me Bia. I moved here from Brazil a year and a half ago. I love to cook, hang out with friends, watch movies with my husband , and take my dog for walks in nature.

Luana

My name is Luana. I’m from Brazil, but I moved to Saint John last year. My hobbies are spending time with my family, cooking, volunteering at the Regional Hospital and playing with my dog.

As my career goal I hope to exceed the patient’s expectations.
