I earned my Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the esteemed University of Lagos in Nigeria, graduating as a silver scholar. After practicing for a few years in Nigeria, I pursued further education in Canada, obtaining a Master's degree in Public Health (MPH) from the University of Saskatchewan.

Additionally, I earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the reputable University of Manitoba, where I received numerous scholarships and awards. During my studies, I was honored to receive the Dr. Jack King Memorial Scholarship for excellence in Periodontology and Oral Diagnosis and Radiology, the Dr. William Bloom prize for outstanding performance in Oral Surgery, and the Class of '99 Dr. Lawrence Stockton Memorial Prize for excellence in restorative dentistry and leadership qualities. Passionate about holistic and oral health, I prioritize the well-being of my patients and everyone I encounter.

Renowned for my friendly and approachable demeanor, I strive to create a comfortable environment for my patients. In my leisure time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family, indulging in movies, and playing soccer.

Previously practicing in Manitoba, I now serve the community of Southern Saskatchewan. Married and blessed with two children, I am committed to providing exceptional dental care while fostering a welcoming atmosphere for all. 😄

I've been practicing dentistry since 2010, graduating with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Lagos in 2009. With experience in both private and government hospitals in Nigeria, I honed my skills before relocating to Canada with my family in 2016. Continuing my education at the University of Manitoba, I completed a specialized program for internationally trained dentists in 2020.

For over three years, I worked as an associate dentist in Estevan, SK, gaining valuable experience. In 2024, I proudly opened the Civic Centre Dental Clinic in Moose Jaw alongside my brother, where we offer comprehensive dental services, including oral surgery with sedation, implants, periodontal surgeries, and cosmetic dentistry. My priority is providing top-notch care, ensuring my patients achieve their dental health goals.

Outside of dentistry, I cherish moments with my wife and three children. We share a passion for travel, soccer, and movies. I'm committed to ongoing learning, staying updated on the latest dental advancements to offer the best care possible. My mission is simple: to give everyone in our community a brighter, healthier smile. I find joy in seeing my patients happy and comfortable, putting smiles on their faces every day. 😁

My name is Czarina. I am a Dental Office Assistant at Civic Center Dental Clinic.

In my younger years, I dreamt of travelling the world, to see places I have never been to, meeting multicultural people and experience something wonderful. I don’t want to say “now that I am older” because I am only in my 50s, and my friends say I look younger than my age, It’s still my dream. I believe that I am destined to be part of a world where I can also travel and meet people and see different faces.

My family and I left our home country, the Philippines, in 2014 with my very supportive and hardworking husband and our two daughters. We conquered the ups and downs of moving to a place we never thought would be our new home.

During the pandemic, I studied and graduated Medical Office Assistant and Unit Clerk at ERP College in 2020-2021. Now, I am blessed to fulfill my career as a Dental Office Assistant at Civic Centre Dental Clinic in Moose Jaw and to inspire the next generation to have confidence in meeting people. 😊
