Dr. Mark Scoville

Dr. Scoville has been practicing dentistry for over a decade. Born and raised in Alberta, he moved to Winnipeg and completed his high school education at Sturgeon Creek Regional Secondary School.

He served in the Canadian Forces from 1983 through 1991 and had a range of postings across Canada from Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, BC to the Combat Training Centre in Gagetown, NB. During his final two years with the Forces, he was privileged to work overseas in Lahr, Germany where he was first exposed to the profession of dentistry.

Upon his return to Canada, Dr. Scoville completed his Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Chemistry at the University of Winnipeg, and was awarded Board of Regent Scholarships for high academic standing.

He later completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree at the University of Manitoba, and graduated with honors in 1998. In addition to private practice, Dr. Scoville also works as a clinical instructor at the University of Manitoba and has provided volunteer dental services through Winnipeg’s Siloam Mission.

In past years he was also responsible for coordinating dental services for Corrections Canada. He has received awards from Minnesota, Mining, and Manufacturing (3M), the Western Canada Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Academy of Operative Dentistry, not only in recognition of his clinical skills, but for his scholarship, leadership and humanitarian qualities.

Living in Westwood, he is married to his high school sweetheart, Christine, and has two children who continue to inform, and inspire him. Dr. Scoville maintains a love for all aspects of dentistry and feels especially privileged to serve the patients of Sturgeon Creek Dental Clinic.

Dr. Atwal joined Sturgeon Creek Dental Clinic in 2006 as an associate but was welcomed by Dr. Kim and Dr. Scoville as a full partner in 2009. Currently, Dr. Atwal serves as the clinic’s managing partner.

Dr. Atwal was raised in Winnipeg and graduated from Maples Collegiate High School before going on to the University of Manitoba. After completing her Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Microbiology, she was soon accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry.

While there, she obtained her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and upon graduation, received awards recognizing her skill in both Periodontology and Operative Dentistry.

In years past, she has worked as a clinical instructor in the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at the University of Manitoba and has volunteered as a general practice mentor to 3rd and 4th year dental students. She has attended numerous continuing education courses and workshops with these students and helped to guide their dental education.

Additionally, Dr. Atwal also works to support community-oriented health initiatives and has been an active volunteer at the annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic and the University of Manitoba’s Open Wide Clinic which provides dental services to those who find it difficult to access dental care.

During her professional career, Dr. Atwal has worked in both the Northgate and the Tuxedo areas of Winnipeg but has found a home working with the patients of Sturgeon Creek. She lives in Headingley and is happily married to her husband, Manny. They have two beautiful young daughters.
