Dr. Viet Tran received an Honours Bachelor of Science degree at Ottawa University. He then received his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Saskatchewan. His main focus has been orthodontics which he has been practicing for over 14 years and he is continually educating himself on the cutting edge of dentistry.

Dr. Max Prodorutti has been providing excellent dental care for over 30 years. His work is always of the highest standard and precision.

Dr. Stas Pavlenko’s interest in dentistry started early. Growing up, he watched his father use dentistry to help people improve their health and quality of life, and it inspired him to follow a similar path. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2013 from University of Alberta and has been passionate about helping patients ever since. Dr. Stas believes that great dentistry is about more than just teeth—it’s about understanding the whole person. He takes a comprehensive approach to care, with a strong focus on prevention, early intervention, and patient education. His goal is to ensure every patient feels informed, comfortable, and confident in their treatment decisions. Known for his attention to detail and commitment to continuous learning, Dr. Stas is always looking for ways to provide the highest level of care while making dental visits as positive and stress-free as possible. When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Dr. Stas outdoors. Whether he’s camping, mountain biking, snowboarding, or exploring new places through travel, he enjoys any adventure that brings him closer to nature. Most of all, he values spending time with his wife, Kateryna, their son, Vladyslav, and their many animals.

Dr. Eddie Pavlenko received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Alberta. Dr. Eddie is always interested in the “why” and the “how”, especially when it comes to subjects that he is passionate about. One experience in his career that helped turn dentistry into one of his passions was when he went on a charity trip to a remote village in Guatemala. He provided dental services to the locals, who otherwise had very limited access to health care. He felt the reward of treating patients who were living with pain or needed emergency care. He hopes to do much more of this type of work in the future. Dr. Eddie enjoys all aspects of dentistry, with a focus in rehabilitation of function and esthetics through implant dentistry. He is passionate about staying on top of the latest techniques and treatments to provide the best possible outcomes for his patients.

I was born and raised in Edmonton and have been a health care provider in Edmonton my whole life. I started as a nurse for 10 years and then switched over to dentistry where I’ve been practicing as a general dentist. I love all my patients and have practiced general dentistry full time for 25 years. Like all of my colleagues, we want you to have excellent health by creating treatment plans suited to your needs and desires. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and two University children, while staying active and enjoying the outdoors. My family enjoys watching sports, especially baseball and football. I enjoy football so much I am the team dentist for the Edmonton Elks!
