Welcome to Avenue Pediatric dentistry

About Us

We are a small team of highly trained, professional individuals who enjoy working closely with children and their families. From our reception staff to our hygiene team, we pride ourselves on growing relationships that are built to last. 

Meet The Dentist

Dr. Darsi Perusini grew up in Spruce Grove, Alberta. He is a certified specialist in pediatric dentistry and a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada. Darsi is also an active member of both the Canadian Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

He maintains privileges at the Stollery Children’s Hospital and the Alberta Surgical Centre  where he provides comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia. Darsi is a clinical instructor and lecturer in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

Following graduation from the University of Alberta School of Dentistry, Darsi moved to Toronto to complete a general practice residency at Mount Sinai Hospital. Subsequently, he completed a residency and Master of Science in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Children. 

Outside the office, Darsi enjoys functional fitness, architecture and design, pretending to cook, and thinking about travel but not actually going anywhere.

Meet Samantha

Samantha grew up in Edmonton and has called it home for more than 30 years. A graduate of the NAIT Television Arts program, Samantha spent nearly twenty years in various roles in the television industry producing and supporting the development of community focussed content. From there she worked at Edmonton’s Food Bank and later the Kidney Foundation, NABT Branch, with responsibilities that included special events, marketing, communications, volunteer engagement, fund development and management.
Since July 2021 Samantha has been our office manager, focused on ensuring our office is a welcoming and inclusive space where our team can provide comprehensive, quality dental care. She is always available to work with our families to build a positive and collaborative relationship rooted in respect and open communication.
In the past Samantha has volunteered with Suit Yourself and Big Brothers Big Sisters. She and her husband are currently regular plasma donors with Canadian Blood Services. Outside the office, Samantha enjoys trying new restaurants, exploring a farmers’ market, cooking and game night with friends and family. She also loves to read and is trying to spend less time bingeing favourite shows and more time settling in with a good book.

What Makes Us Different?

What works for one family may not work for another. Every child is unique and deserves personalized care. At Avenue Pediatric Dentistry, we strive to deliver on this principle appreciating that a positive experience early on will build a child’s overall confidence in the dental profession. 

The value of community is important at Avenue Pediatric Dentistry — after all, as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. Whenever possible, we reach beyond the walls of our clinic to make a difference.

Our Commitment

The staff at Avenue Pediatric Dentistry are passionate about making sure your child’s trip to the dentist is fun and enjoyable. Our qualified and compassionate team works diligently to ensure families leave with healthy, happy smiles.
