The Team

The Schau Dental team is dedicated to serving you. They work hard to provide a happy and relaxed atmosphere, while provided the best care they can. Our team includes a receptionist, hygienist, and two dental assistants. And for your added piece of mind, all our staff are CPR certified. 

Receptionist:

In March of 2010 Violet joined our team. Along with a great personality she brings with her many years of experience. With this experience she will be able to help guide you with any of your insurance related questions, help you book appointments, and much more. Hope you enjoy conversing with her as much as we enjoy having her here.

Hygienist: 

Sylvie is our certified hygienist, and graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2000. She worked with Dr. Schau for 3 years at his previous office and joined his team here at Schau Dental in the summer of 2007. She will be looking after the health of your gums as you come in for your regular visits to ensure your teeth stay nice and strong and healthy. She endeavors to stay up to date with current information and techniques to provide you with the best of care. She will work hard to educate you and provide you with the tools and skills you require to maintain your optimum oral health. Due to the intimate relationship between your teeth, gums, and overall health, Dr. Schau and Sylvie will work together to provide you with a customized recall program that meets your specific oral health needs.

Sylvie is also in charge of monitoring our x-ray equipment. The equipment is continually monitored to ensure it is performing within the recommended parameters as to avoid any health and safety concerns for our patients and dental team.

Assistant #1:

Christel is a registered dental assistant with added training in orthodontics. She has worked with Dr. Schau for a year at his previous office and is happy to have joined his team here at Schau Dental. With multiple years of experience she knows a lot about the treatment you will be receiving at the office. Feel free to test her knowledge as she loves to teach (and talk). She will do her best to keep you informed as to the treatment you will receive, while keeping a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Christel is also in charge of our infection control procedures. She makes sure we are up to date and meet or exceed the current standards set out by the Manitoba Dental Association. So if you have any questions or concerns about infection control at our office, feel free to talk to Christel or Dr. Schau.

Assistant #2:

Elaine is a registered dental assistant with added training in orthodontics as well as dental hygiene. Elaine worked with Dr. Schau previously for about 3 years and joined the Schau Dental team in September of 2008 after returning from maternity leave. You will see Elaine working various duties in the office as her training allows her to provide dental cleanings, assist Dr. Schau, and with the rest of her time she helps out with reception duties.

The Others:

From time to time you will notice a new person in the office.  As part of our focus on education we have teamed up with some of the local schools to help train their students. These students will primarily be students doing their practical work experience for the dental assisting program. In other cases it may be a hygiene or dental student who is job shadowing. At no time will either the hygiene or dental student be providing your treatment, as their practical experience is obtained at the University.
