Tinwai, Certified Dental Assistant and Receptionist

Tinwai immigrated to Canada from the South Pacific as a young adult to pursue an education in nursing.  After nursing for several years, she moved into the dental profession and completed her Certified Dental Assisting certificate.  In 2003, her husband's job brought them to Kamloops.  Tinwai has been in the dental profession for over a decade and she especially likes the business administration aspects of managing both financial and treatment coordination. She finds it challenging, rewarding and stimulating.  Tinwai biggest accomplishments in her life are her eleven year old daughter Keiko, her wonderful husband Keith and adorable dog Mushoo.  Her family is like the United Nations, full of colours and personalities.  Together, they love to travel, alpine ski, swim and enjoy all outdoor activites.  Tinwai's motto for life is still "Work smarter, not harder".

Professional Distinctions

Tinwai has had multiple huge successes in her life of international education and travel.  She speaks infrequently and modestly of her past accomplishments.  She has worked with some of the most efficient and skilled dental practices, has a bachelors degree and has worked in all aspects of the dental profession.  Tinwai can do anything.

  • Tinwai has studied implant practice management at the Pacific Implant Institute and is a member of the Association of Dental Implant Auxilliaries.  She also recieved her Practice Management Implant Certification at the ICOI winter symposium in Las Vegas. 
  • Tinwai has also studied Lumineers and Invisalign and can help you make a decision about any of your options for cosmetic or implant densitry.
