Meet Dr. Glen Jefferies

General Dentist

Dr. Glen Jefferies

Education

Dr. Glen is an “Alberta boy through and through.” He grew up in nearby Drayton Valley and stayed there until graduating from high school. At that time, he decided to trade small-town life for the big city of Paris, France to volunteer for his church for two years. Afterwards, he obtained his bachelor’s degree in Hawaii and then moved to Edmonton to study dentistry at the University of Alberta. With Dr. Albert Voravong, he is co-owner of Parkstone Dental in Sherwood Park.

Treatment Philosophy

When determining which treatments are best for your smile, Dr. Glen will examine your mouth, your health and medical history, and find out what it is you like and don’t like about your teeth and gums. An effective communicator, he will be upfront and honest about the condition of your smile and tell you what steps need to be taken to reach the outcome you desire.

Outside The Office

Dr. Glen is happily married and has four kids who mean the world to him. They live in Sherwood Park and love spending time in the community they call home. Over the years, Parkstone Dental became another one of his babies. “I have taken a lot of pride in watching it grow,” he says.

Meet Dr. Jennifer Nguyen

General Dentist

Dr. Jennifer Nguyen

Education

After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Alberta in 2012, Dr. Jennifer Nguyen completed a one-year dental residency to fine tune her skills and gain additional experience working as a general dentist.

Treatment Philosophy

If you ask Dr. Nguyen the number one thing you could do for your mental and physical health, she will immediately tell you her health philosophy – that prevention is everything. Focusing on prevention is her goal so you can enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile that supports your confidence. Helping you take care of yourself before things get worse is her goal – whether it’s preventing dental issues or treating them conservatively if they do arise.

Outside The Office

When she’s not helping others as a dentist in Sherwood Park, Dr. Nguyen appreciates all she has here as a life-long Edmonton resident. She loves the community and people, and is the Alberta director for a non-profit dental organization. Dr. Nguyen was looking forward to marrying her fiancé Bill in 2020, when COVID-19 postponed their plans, but they plan to reschedule as soon as they can. When she has time, Dr. Nguyen enjoys working out, reading, and gardening.

Dr. Maher Ayash

General Dentist

Dr. Maher Ayash

Education

Dr. Maher earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Sydney in 2018. He has been enhancing smiles ever since.

Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Maher’s treatment philosophy is simple. He sums it up with one phrase: “Treat the cause, not the symptom.” One of his favourite parts of the job is interacting with people and providing them with a positive experience at Parkstone Dental. He firmly believes that patients need to feel included in their dental journey. “I work hand-in-hand with my patients to provide them the dental treatment they need,” he says. Dr. Maher chose a career in dentistry because it involves delicate and intricate work, and it gives him a great sense of accomplishment to help improve patients’ oral health.

Away From The Practice

Dr. Maher loves to read, exercise, and explore local restaurants. When he has time, you can also find him carving hills on his snowboard, hitting targets at the shooting range, and cooking. Dr. Maher is known for his people skills and a good sense of humour. He’s proud to be part of a tight-knit and diverse community.

Sheena

Office
Manager

Connecting with patients and providing them with superior service brings me great joy. That’s why I make sure they know my dental philosophy: brush often, get cleanings every six months, and receive care from any of the doctors at PFD! I love that my job gives me the opportunity to learn every day, which is so important to me. Away from the office, I love spending time with my husband, Jerry, our three daughters, and two grandchildren. I enjoy being in Minocqua (where I hope to retire), playing tennis and golf, volunteering at church, and working out.

Paula

Treatment
Coordinator

I’ve been in dentistry for 50 years, which makes me sound old but I’m really not! I started my dental career as a hygienist, practicing in AL, CA, and IL. I transitioned to the role of office manager in the mid-80s and enjoy it thoroughly! I love the special relationship I have with patients and the aspect of seeing their dental treatment through from start to finish. In my downtime, I’m a major sports fanatic and I love to entertain, travel, and spend time with my family.

Tiff

Financial
Coordinator

As a graduate of Triton College's Dental Assisting Program, I am always eager to learn new skills and grow as a dental professional. I take pride in being a team player at PFD, which has a stellar reputation in the community. I enjoy connecting with my patients and building lasting relationships to ensure they receive the high-quality care they need and deserve.

When not at the office, I enjoy traveling and would like to go to Greece someday. I also like spending time with friends and family, especially my two sons, Vincent and Nicholas. My youngest son recently married in 2020, and I look forward to lots and lots of grandchildren!

My focus is on helping patients optimize their dental health and fulfill their smile dreams. My husband Ryan and I have three beautiful daughters, and we love doing anything outdoors, including hiking, biking, camping, and backpacking. We adore traveling by car for vacations and seeing something different every year.

I was born and raised in Poland and speak fluent Polish. I have a bachelor degree in nursing, but during my career I realized that dentistry is my true passion.

In my free time I like to travel, cook, explore new restaurants, attend live concerts and spend time with my husband Luke and my dog Julian.

I am happily married to Brendan, and we have two wonderful children, Hazel and Frank. We’re also pet parents to two adorable dogs, Beaux and Zoey. I enjoy spending quality time with my kids and volunteering at their school.
