Michelle Allaire
Office Manager
Michelle has been part of the team at Copperfield Dental Center from the very beginning, and over the years, she’s come to know many of our patients quite well. Catching up with them or building a relationship with someone new to the office is always a highlight of her day.
Michelle has been working in the ever-changing world of dentistry for over 14 years, but she says what keeps it exciting and gratifying is the opportunity to give confidence to people who are fearful of having dental work done.
She knows people can choose to see other dentists in Calgary, but believes what keeps people coming back to Copperfield Dental Center year after year, is that they truly feel cared for. Michelle says she's proud to be a part of that.
Michelle invites you to make an appointment and experience a different kind of dental visit.
