Dr. Stewart attended the University of Alberta where he graduated with his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees in 1986. He met his future wife, Tara, there where she was studying dental hygiene.

He stayed in Alberta working as a general dentist in Calgary for two years. After the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, he and his wife moved to Kelowna, where Dr. Stewart set up a dental clinic and practiced general dentistry for nine years. In 1997, Dr. Stewart and family moved back to Edmonton, where he spent another 2.5 years at the University of Alberta, obtaining his Master of Science and specialty degree in orthodontics.

As seen by the many years of he spent in university, Dr. Stewart enjoys learning. He attends many continuing education courses to stay current with all the latest technological and research advances in orthodontics and dentistry.

In his spare time, Dr. Stewart can be found on the golf course in the spring, summer, fall, and waiting for the golf season to start again during the winter months. A new passion of his is wake surfing on Okanagan Lake. All of his family members are avid scuba divers and, in their travels, have seen many amazing and wondrous sites underwater.

Dr. Stewart enjoys practicing orthodontics and treats a wide range of patients including, children, adults, and complex surgical/orthodontic cases. He is a “Preferred Provider” of Invisalign and finds many adults (who never consider regular braces) are now improving their smiles with this “invisible” method of straightening teeth.

He has been published in the American Journal of Orthodontists and Dentofacial Orthopedics and maintains membership in the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, British Columbia Dental Association, and the local Kelowna and District Dental Societies.
