Hi-Tech Family Dentistry: A Competent and Devoted Team

Jennifer

I graduated in 2015 with the Medical Administration Diploma from Eastern College. In my spare time I like to spend time with my kids, listen to music or spend time with my best friend baking. What I love most about working at Hi Tech Dentistry is how friendly all the staff are. I get to come to work every day with a wonderful group of people.

Dr. Bella Panjwani

Dr. Bella Panjwani has graduated from the University of Alberta's advanced placement program. She also has a specialty degree in prosthodontics from Gujarat University, India.

Along with working in general practice dentistry, she has worked at the University of British Columbia as a prosthodontics consultant clinical instructor. She has also provided prosthodontics services at the Fraser Valley Cancer Centre Oral Oncology department in Surrey, British Columbia. Bella thinks that learning and sharing her knowledge is an integral part of her profession:

"I am also passionately involved in research work. I have presented papers at various national and international dental and prosthodontics conferences. My studies have been published in various high-impact specialty journals. I order to provide excellent compassionate service to my patients. I invest my time heavily in academic continuous education."

I am originally from North Bay, Ontario and have recently moved to the wonderful city of Saint John. I graduated from Canadore College as a Registered Dental Hygienist where I received the Dr. Max Back Highest Academic Achievement Award. My greatest passions are traveling and my family. In my free time you can find me hiking or cooking/baking. I love to help others and it is my mission to help improve the oral health of all of our patients.

Sharon Hallett
Level 2 Dental Assistant

Hi there! My name is Sharon Hallett, I'm a Level 2 Dental Assistant with Hi Tech Family Dentistry. I've been a valued member of the team for 2 years. I have been a dental assistant for 5 years. I have a 12 year old daughter. I enjoy cooking, reading, love history and volunteering as a medical first responder with St. John Ambulance.

I assist Dr. Bella Panjwani with most procedures. I'm the person you see before Dr. Bella comes in whether it's to what procedure will be done or if you have a dental problem. I learn what the problem is and take x-rays if needed. My passion in the office is making sure our patients are comfortable and happy. I also keep an eye on our patient's facial expressions and body language to maintain the safety and wellbeing of them during all procedures. It's my pleasure to help take care of your oral health and dental needs.
