Dr. Karanov grew up in Edmonton and graduated from Ross Sheppard High School right across the street from Westmount Dental Centre.

He attended the University of Alberta for his undergraduate education, and in 2016 moved to sunny Australia to pursue his dental training in tropical North Queensland.

Dr. Karanov spent years working close to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as practicing in Tasmania and the Western Australian Outback.

He's spent most of his career in rural areas working with difficult cases and complicated dental histories, giving him the scope and confidence to provide a catered plan of care along the entire spectrum of patient needs.

He recently moved back to his familiar community of Edmonton and is now enjoying all the city has to offer.

Dr. Dunia Draca has been in the dental industry since 2013. She initially worked as a dental assistant and receptionist during her undergraduate degree in Medical Science, before graduating from the Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Sydney, Australia in 2017.

Dr. Draca strives to provide high-quality, comprehensive and long-lasting dentistry. She believes every person deserves to be pain-free, to eat comfortably and be confident in their smile. Dr. Draca also spent multiple years working in Australia's Aboriginal communities.

Born and raised on the beaches of Sydney, like most Australians, Dr. Draca has always found a real winter and snow to be exotic. She fell in love with Canada in 2016, when she spent five weeks in Whitehorse, Yukon upon receiving a prize to undertake an international student placement from her university. Dr. Draca is overjoyed to now live in Canada, and she still loves the cold. Out of the office, she enjoys long walks, painting classes and playing with her two cats.
