Southland Dental Choice

Dr. Dwayne Kowalchuk was born and raised in Calgary. With a background in both art and science, he successfully combined these two passions in the dental profession. In 2006, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. He is a general dentist who has been in practice for 17 years and brings a wealth of experience in general dentistry. Dwayne has a proactive yet conservative approach and philosophy towards dental care. He believes in treatments that prevent complex, painful, and expensive problems. He strongly believes in empowering all of his patients to participate in co-diagnosis conversations, so that they can make their own informed dental treatment decisions. Dwayne strives to provide excellent service that is tailored to each patient’s individual needs and concerns, always with an eye towards patient comfort (PAINLESS injections), and the goal of improving patients’ long-term oral and overall health. A strong believer in lifelong learning, Dr. Kowalchuk is routinely exploring new and better techniques and technologies, to maximize patient satisfaction and long-term results.

In his spare time, Dwayne lives an active lifestyle and enjoys skiing, hiking, scuba diving, photography, traveling, and reading non-fiction books, along with enjoying a variety of cultural, concert and art-scene experiences. He feels blessed when spending quality time with his friends and family.

Guilty Pleasures: 80’s music, murder mystery movies, wine/spirit tasting events, strategy board games.

Hidden Talents: Crooning tunes (at karaoke??? sure), character impersonations, balloon animal wizard (a kid fav).
