Dr. Anna Kuras B.Sc. D.D.S.
Dr. Kuras completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Alberta and joined Nottingham Dental in 2011. Utilizing current and proven materials and techniques, she believes in a preventative and conservative approach to dental care. Attention to detail and gentle care are some of the attributes that Anna’s patients have come to appreciate. She loves treating patients of all ages, but especially enjoys treating children (maybe because she has a few of her own). When Anna is not practicing dentistry or chasing after her young kids, she loves spending her time with her family, traveling and taking long walks. And when she finds she has some free time at home, you will find her in the kitchen baking cookies or in the garden watering her tomatoes.

I feel blessed to be apart of this team and I can’t wait to share my love for a healthy smile with you!
