Meet our team!

Dr. McAllister

Dr. McAllister is the proud owner of the clinic and an accomplished dentist who has serving the Ottawa region for the past 12 years. She received a full scholarship to the University of Ottawa, and completed a Bachelor of Science with honours in Biomedical Science and a Minor in Psychology. Shortly thereafter, she was accepted into both Medical School and Dental School. She ultimately pursued a career in dentistry at the University of Toronto, where she graduated at the top of her class in the Doctor of Dental Surgery program.

Born and raised in Ottawa, Dr. McAllister is pleased to provide exceptional dental care to her community. She has always been passionate about her work and holds very high standards. Her meticulous eye for detail means she will always strive for perfection and help you achieve the smile of your dreams. She loves helping people feel more confident with their smiles by providing Cosmetic Dentistry services including Invisalign, Zoom Teeth Whitening and Porcelain Veneers.

Dr. McAllister is pleased to provide a friendly, knowledgeable and professional dental office for you and your family. She is a mom herself so her caring demeanour puts all of her patients at ease, especially children and nervous patients. She looks forward to meeting you and welcoming you to her dental practice!

Dr. Dmytrowski

Dr. Diane Dmytrowski (or “Dr D” as her patients usually refer to her), born and raised in Montreal, graduated from the dentistry program at McGill University. After Dr D completed her residency in Syracuse, New York, she moved to Ottawa, where she has been enjoying a successful career as a dentist for over two decades.

When treating her patients, Dr D’s priority is to ensure that every individual, no matter how young/old, is getting the best oral care possible. She is attentive to her patients’ needs and wants, and always encourages two way communication. Discussing treatments options and understanding individual preferences and unique circumstances is what helps to obtain a successful outcome. Making sure that patients are happy with their dental treatment is what has made Dr D’s career so fulfilling.

Dr D is very excited to have joined the caring and diligent team at McAllister’s Dentistry. She looks forward to getting to know all the existing patients, as well as welcoming new patients to the practise!

Almita

Almita is our office administrator and she is one of the first people you will meet when you arrive at our office. She will take care of booking your appointments, sending your insurance claims and ensuring your experience is positive from start to finish.

She completed her certificate training at Career Canada College as a Dental Assistant in 2001. She assisted for many years before progressing into her current role as a dental administrator. Her understanding of both clinical and administrative tasks are a valuable asset for both our patients and our team.

Kristina

Kristina is a dedicated dental assistant who brings both skill and warmth to her work. Born and raised in Ottawa, she completed her studies at Algonquin College, graduating in January 2019.

Kristina has built a strong reputation for her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to help patients feel comfortable and at ease.

Outside of her career, Kristina enjoys slowing things down with a good book, often getting lost in stories that help her unwind. On weekends, you’ll likely find her at the cottage, where she loves spending time by the water and making the most of nature and quiet moments away from the city.

She is happy to be part of the team and looks forward to meeting you at your next visit!

Kelly

Kelly was born and raised in the city of Sudbury. She received her training in dental hygiene at Cambrian College’s school of applied arts and technology and graduated with her dental hygiene certificate in 2007. After graduation she moved to Ottawa and has been practicing dental hygiene ever since.

Kelly is committed to staying current in evidence based dental practises to provide the best treatment possible. Furthermore, she believes in the concept of Wellness, and understands how a healthy mouth is an integral part of overall health.

Kelly is motivated and pleased to be working at McAllister Dentistry and looks forward to meeting you at your next visit.

Rebecca

Rebecca’s passion for dentistry began in her Grade 11 co-op placement, where she was introduced to the world of dental assisting. What started as a school program quickly became a true calling. She continued gaining hands-on experience at her hometown dental office throughout the remainder of high school, solidifying her desire to build a career focused on patient care and oral health.

In 2014, Rebecca graduated from the Canadian National Institute of Health as a Registered Dental Hygienist. Since then, she has dedicated herself to creating a welcoming, comfortable experience for every patient she treats. She values the relationships she builds in the dental chair and loves taking the time to educate, support, and guide patients through all of their dental care needs. Her gentle approach, genuine kindness, and attention to detail help patients feel at ease — especially those who may feel anxious about their appointments.

Rebecca is originally from the small northern Ontario town of Nakina. Growing up in a close-knit community shaped her warm, approachable nature and her belief in treating every patient like family. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys spending time outdoors, catching lots of fish, traveling, and being with her family and friends as much as possible.

She is proud to be part of the McAllister Dentistry team and looks forward to continuing to support patients on their journey to lifelong oral health.

Arya is the newest addition to McAllister Dentistry, bringing with her 6 years of dedicated experience as a Dental Hygienist to our team. She graduated with honours from the Dental Hygiene Program at Algonquin College in 2018 and recently earned a Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences with distinction from Queen’s University.

Arya is known for her thorough and patient-centered approach to dental hygiene. She is passionate about educating patients on the importance of oral health and providing them with the knowledge needed to maintain a bright and healthy smile. Her gentle manner and attention to detail ensure a comfortable experience for all patients.

Outside of work, Arya enjoys downhill skiing in Whistler and Banff, camping in Algonquin Park, and reading. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your healthiest smile at your next dental visit!
