​Dr. Anna Kuras B.Sc. D.D.S.

Dr. Anna Kuras
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. 

Dr. Alex Radu

Alex was introduced to dentistry while on a volunteer trip to Paraguay in March 2009 during his senior year in high school.

Fast forward many years later, Alex graduated from dental school at The University of British Columbia. During his four years in dental school he enjoyed volunteering both in the community and abroad. Additionally, Alex enjoys educating his patients and providing them with options to decide what is best for them.
