Dr. Tarnjit (“TJ”) Sahota was born in England and moved to Calgary when he was 8 years old. Growing up in northeast Calgary allowed Dr. Sahota to explore and develop his interests, including a keen interest in basketball. After playing basketball in junior high school, Dr. Sahota decided it was time to focus on his studies, which eventually led him to the University of Calgary, where he studied biochemistry. He then moved to Edmonton to attend the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Alberta, where he received his dental training. It was there that he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery.
Dr. Sahota has been practicing in Calgary ever since and can now claim over 20 years of experience as a dentist, although he is somewhat astounded that this amount of time has passed.
Dr. Sahota believes in taking the time necessary to provide each patient with the best dental care possible. His calm and caring manner, paired with his years of experience, creates a relaxed and comfortable environment for his patients. Dr. Sahota is also fluent in Punjabi.
Dr. Sahota stays up to date on dentistry by attending various dental courses, seminars, and conferences. He is a member of the Calgary District Dental Society, the Alberta Dental Association and College, and the Canadian Dental Association. Dr. Sahota provides an array of dental services, including crowns and bridges, implant crowns, veneers, composite fillings, root canal therapy, tooth removal, and splint therapy.
Outside the office, Dr. Sahota is kept busy with his wife and children, as well as his latest home renovation project. Dr. Sahota loves to spend family time outdoors whenever possible, hiking, biking, running, and walking very slowly. His other interests include old-school movies, which his wife and children do not fully appreciate, and car maintenance, which his children/apprentices also do not fully appreciate. And he still plays basketball, occasionally feeling the wind of the Michael Jordan glory days catch his sails.
