For Dr. Poojan Rai, dentistry has always been about people first. As a general dentist at Advance Dental, she believes in creating a calm and caring environment where every patient feels comfortable, understood, and confident in their care. Known for her patience and compassionate approach, Dr. Rai takes time to ensure each visit is as positive and stress-free as possible.

Originally from Calgary, Dr. Rai completed her undergraduate studies locally before earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Manitoba in 2010. With over a decade of experience, she continues to find joy in helping patients of all ages build lasting trust and achieve healthy, beautiful smiles.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Rai is a proud mom of two energetic boys who inspire her to try new things — from learning to golf and ski, to taking on the challenge of cooking and nurturing a family garden, just as she watched her parents do growing up. She hopes to pass that same love of growth and care on to her children, both in and out of the garden.

Warm, approachable, and committed to her patients, Dr. Rai blends professionalism with genuine compassion — making every visit feel like catching up with a trusted friend.
