Dr Wes Prepchuk Dentist in Calgary SW

Dr. Wes Prepchuk

General Dentist

Dr. Wes Prepchuk was born in Edmonton but grew up mostly in the Calgary area. He made the trek over to Sydney, Australia in 2005, accompanied by his wife and two little boys. Since then, they’ve added two more children to their family, including a little girl.

Dr. Prepchuk holds bachelor degrees in Biochemistry from the University of Lethbridge, Canada and in Dentistry from the University of Sydney, Australia.

He believes in the importance of offering a complete range of services to his patients and has yet to discover an aspect of dentistry that he doesn’t enjoy. He loves the interaction with people, the intricately detailed work, and the active learning environment that dentistry provides.

After 14 years of practicing dentistry in Australia, he and his now-grown family have moved back home to Calgary to settle, trading the sunny beaches and kangaroos of Australia for the snowy mountains and grizzly bears of Canada.

Amber

Dental Hygienist

Amber has worked with Dr. Drosu since 2008, one of the longest members of the team aside from the doctor herself!

While she’s called Calgary home for the last 14 years, Amber’s originally from the beautiful mountains of British Columbia. It’s no surprise that she loves camping, hiking, and swimming when she’s not helping patients of course.

“One of my favourite things about my job is getting to personally know each patient and being involved in improving their oral and overall health.”

Credentials: Bachelor of Science, King’s University, 2003; Dental Hygiene Diploma, University of Alberta, 2008

Adiam

Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in Eritrea before moving to Canada to pursue a career in dental hygiene. I graduated from Durham College’s Dental hygiene program in Ontario. Passionate about preventive care, I enjoy educating patients on the importance of oral health and helping them achieve healthier smiles. I strive to create a comfortable and positive experience for every patient through a gentle and informative approach.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new spots in the city, trying new restaurants and coffee shops, and spending quality time with family and friends.
