Our Hygienists

Ramanvir moved to Canada from India in 2006 and pursued her ambition of becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist. She graduated from Canadian Business College in Toronto in 2009 and joined the Panatella Team in 2010. In high school, Ramanvir was a champion swimmer in the women’s division. On Ramanvir’s bucket list would be to take a cruise, travel to Switzerland & she would love to learn how to scrapbook!

Tanya started in the dental field as a Dental Assistant, obtaining her certification from Columbia College in 2006. After spending some time as a Dental Assistant, Tanya chose to return to school to become a Dental Hygienist. After graduating from Toronto College of Dental Hygiene in 2010, she returned to Western Canada. Tanya is an avid country music listener, who would have guessed that her first concert was none other than Snoop Dog!! Tanya’s biggest fear is a snake, and if she could choose a superpower she would be invisible.

Kadian is a former Dental Assistant and received her diploma in Dental Hygiene from The Ontario Dental Education Institute in 2014. This empathetic, easy-going, independent gal’s first love is her son! She enjoys spending quality time at the soccer field watching her son play! Kadian’s first concert was Nicki Minaj, no wonder she loves pop and r&b music! She wouldn’t find herself stranded on an island without match sticks, a bag of potatoes and a big machete!

As a hygienist since 2009, Linda is a great addition to the team at Panatella Dental. Her years of experience has allowed her to continue perfecting her care for everyone she meets, and is well loved by everyone. In her personal life you’ll find wonderful tales of travelling the globe, with hiking Machu Picchu and a visit to Greece in her sights. One of her craziest experiences in life was flying a plane, with a little help.

Arianna joined the Panatella family as a new graduate of hygiene school in the spring of 2023. She has a passion for helping people and enjoys working with kids. Originally from El Salvador, Arianna moved to Canada with her family when she was young and continues to speak Spanish and English fluently. Her favourite pastime is watching The Office or Formula One racing with her two cats.

Born and raised in Calgary, Ayat is the fifth in a line of six siblings. She has been an Aunt since she was 12 years old, and to-date has a total of 5 nephews and 4 nieces, with more on the way. Ayat first worked as an occupational therapy assistant in a specialized dementia unit. As her career aspirations grew, she ventured to Toronto for her hygiene degree. She has a love of good food and enjoys trying new restaurants. Her bucket list includes visiting Indonesia, sky-diving, and moving to a country that doesn’t have snow.

Harpreet began in dentistry as a dental surgeon in India before moving to Canada in 2016. She transitioned to becoming a dental hygienist in 2019 while living in Fernie, BC. Her young family is the best part of her life, as she spends time listening to Indian pop music and cooking traditional dishes. Being an adventurous person has taken Harpreet to cliff diving into one of India’s deepest rivers, without knowing how to swim and simply relying on a life jacket!

Panatella Dental welcomed Lisa to the team after she graduated with her Advanced Diploma of Dental Hygiene in 2024, from Saskatchewan Polytechnic. She dreams of traveling the globe, seeing floating lanterns and ice skating on a large frozen lake. Her travels have already brought her to Kenya during her time in hygiene school to paragliding in Switzerland! Her favourite movies are anything Disney or Marvel, with The Amazing Spiderman at the top of her list. Which is ironic because her biggest fear is spiders!

Sharan graduated with her Dental Hygiene degree in Toronto in Summer 2023. Moving to Ontario for school marked her first time living away from her family, which came with its own set of challenges and valuable life lessons. During this time, she discovered a passion for cooking and a deep sense of independence and resilience.
Today, Sharan brings that same dedication and warmth to her work, always going the extra mile to ensure her patients feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smiles.
