Dr. Hennings DMD
Dr. Hennings was born and raised in a small rural community in northeastern Saskatchewan and studied dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan. While Dr. Hennings has done a lot of work repairing and restoring damaged teeth, he was always driven by the belief that prevention was the cornerstone to good health care. Dr. Hennings also realized that dentistry does not exist in isolation within the field of health care. Instead, there is a strong connection between dental infections and many other diseases. Also, many non dental problems can make dental health worse. All of this is very central to how we practice dentistry today.

Heather Lynch RDA (aka “the Boss”)
Heather was born and raised in New Brunswick and took the Dental Assisting Program at Holland College on Prince Edward Island. It didn’t take her long to find her way out west and eventually meeting up with Dr Kopec. She now has been on the Kopec team which later merged into Canada Place Dental, a time span of 25+ years. While she officially is a Registered Dental Assistant she really is that special person that does everything in the office and does it well. Every team either has a person like this or wishes they did. She has run the front end, the back end, sterilization, coordinated inventory and brought good organizational skills to all parts of the office. We truly don’t know what we would do without her. Dr Hennings has the privilege of working with her when needed.
When she finishes her kind and caring service to our patient’s she returns to her equally well run home. In her spare time, she likes to read, play piano and hang out with her 2 teenage boys.
