Alta Vista Dental Clinic

She grew up in Ottawa, graduated dental school at the University of Toronto in 1999 with dean's gold medal and has been working in the office ever since. She continued her dental education in the areas of orthodontics/braces and implants. She received her fellowship diploma with World Clinical Laser Institute in July 2011. In June 2012, Marina received her Mastership diploma with WCLI. She is now the only person in Ottawa, and the 2nd person in Ontario who is certified to teach all aspects of laser dentistry.

She was fascinated by the beauty and diversity of each individual smile she encountered. She has always been an advocate in promoting oral hygiene and so, it felt natural for her to pursue a career in the dental field. In April 2012, she graduated from la Cite Collegiale and her career as a dental hygienist quickly took off.

She has been practicing classical dental hygiene and orthodontic dental hygiene simultaneously since she graduated from Algonquin college with honors in 1999. She has a strong interest in natural nutrition and holistic care and, when asked, will impart any tips she has in this department with zeal and care.
