What Some Of Our Patients Are Saying

This is a fabulous Dental Clinic. It is very clean, modern and the staff are friendly and professional. I have been coming to Azarko for about 12 years now and have never had a bad, rude or upsetting experience, and no issues with any dental work I have had done over the years. That can also be attributed to Dr.Panesar being an amazing dentist, which I have no doubt all at the clinic are, although only ever seeing him, I am a little bias, and bet he is the best, lol. I would highly recommend this dental clinic.

5 stars-Danielle
Dr. York and his team are very kind and understanding. I felt safe and well taken care of, despite having horrible experiences with other dentists in the past. I explained that I wasn't very good with needles, and Dr. York made my experience as pain and stress free as possible. It means a lot to me to have a dentist that takes such a gentle approach, and doesn't belittle you for not having access to dental coverage for many years. I'm very grateful for everything the Azarko team has done for me. Highly recommended!

Our Dentists

Dr Andreas Azarko

General Dentist

Dr. Andreas Azarko graduated from the University of Alberta in 1990 after completing both his Bachelor of Science degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery at the age of 21. He entered private practice alongside his older brother, Dr. Enrico Azarko, establishing what would become the Azarko Dental Group.

Over the decades, the practice grew into a respected group clinic with multiple dedicated doctors and extended hours of care. Throughout his career, Dr. Azarko enjoyed practicing General Dentistry, incorporating laser treatments and micro-air abrasion techniques where appropriate. While he introduced clear orthodontic options such as Invisalign® into the practice during his active clinical years, he has since stepped back from providing orthodontic services as part of his transition into emeritus status. Dr. Azarko also played a key role in modernizing the clinic, leading the adoption of full digital integration—including iTero digital scanning, digital X-rays, and chairside computer systems—as part of the move toward a fully paperless environment.

Beyond dentistry, Dr. Azarko has long been an active member of the community, supporting organizations such as Goodwill Industries of Alberta, the Cross Cancer Institute, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In his personal time, he enjoys culinary experimentation, water sports, skiing, and maintaining a regular exercise routine.
Dr Allan Zhang

General Dentist

Dr. Allan Zhang graduated from the University of Alberta in 2002 with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

He provides most dental services as a General Dentist, including wisdom teeth extractions, molar root canal treatment, and selected implant placement.

Dr. Zhang is proud of his daughter who is also attending the University of Alberta in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Obviously conversation at home is centred around dentistry.
Dr Amarjit Panesar

General Dentist

Born and raised in Edmonton, Dr. Panesar earned Bachelor of Science Degrees in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Alberta.

He then went on to complete a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2005 from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario.

As a General Dentist, Dr. Panesar is an advocate of gentle dental care, and remains committed to building lasting relationships with a "personal touch". Dr. Amar's patients, and their dental experience under his care, are his pride and passion.
Dr Bona Zhang

General Dentist

Dr. Bona Zhang completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Alberta in 2017 and dedicates herself to providing patients, whether a child or elderly, with compassionate and quality care in all aspects of general dentistry. From fillings and extractions, to root canals and crowns, Dr. Zhang enjoys her work and the benefit it brings to her patients. She is also happy to offer orthodontic treatments like invisalign or traditional braces to improve smiles and function.

In her free time, Dr. Zhang enjoys hosting game nights with her friends and family, cheering on the Edmonton Oilers with her husband (even though he is a Canadiens fan at heart), and cuddling with her three cats!
Dr Brett York

General Dentist

Dr. Brett York is a graduate of the University of Alberta, receiving a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2007. After graduation, Dr. York practiced dentistry in the Edmonton area for one year before moving his practice to Kelowna, British Columbia.

While in British Columbia, he practiced within a large family practice including extractions/tooth removal, endodontics, and surgical placement and restoration of dental implants.

Dr. York truly enjoys his profession as a General Dentist and is delighted to offer his services treating regular patients and dental emergencies on Sunday's. While maintaining a regular schedule at Azarko Dental Group during the week, the addition of Sunday's has been a rewarding experience to provide dental care on a day patients may urgently require a dentist.

In his free time, Dr. York enjoys downhill and cross-country skiing, sailing, travel, and spending time with family.
Dr Dubin Roy

Dr. Roy is committed to continuous education, having attended specialized courses in biomimetic dentistry and advanced restorative techniques.
