Our Doctors

Dr. Perry Kimelman is a Winnipeg dentist at East Kildonan Dental Group who takes an integrated approach to dental care. He considers oral health alongside each patient’s medical history, comfort, concerns and treatment preferences.

Perry believes patients should understand what is happening with their oral health and feel comfortable asking questions. He takes the time to explain his findings, discuss suitable treatment options and help patients make informed decisions about their care.

An Integrated Approach to Dental Care

A holistic approach to dentistry means looking beyond a single tooth or immediate concern. Oral health can affect how you eat, speak and feel, while medications, health conditions and daily habits may also influence your dental care.

Perry considers these factors when assessing a patient and recommending treatment. His areas of interest include general dentistry, oral surgery, esthetic dentistry and the relationship between oral health and overall wellness.

This approach does not replace conventional dental care. It adds a broader understanding of the patient’s health, priorities and individual circumstances to the treatment-planning process.

What to Expect When You Visit Dr. Kimelman

Your appointment begins with a discussion about your dental history, current concerns and overall health. Perry will examine your teeth and gums, explain what he finds and review the available options with you.

Treatment recommendations are based on your clinical needs. Where more than one option is available, Perry will explain the purpose, considerations and alternatives associated with each approach.

Whether you are visiting for preventive care, a dental concern or a second opinion, the goal is to make sure you understand the recommended next steps.

Perry graduated from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry in 1987. Earlier in his career, he practised part time in God’s Lake Narrows and Poplar River before joining East Kildonan Dental Group in 1991.

He speaks English and Hebrew and has moderate proficiency in Yiddish. Outside the clinic, Perry is a family man, writer, poet, storyteller, painter and amateur musician. He is also involved in volunteer and community work.

His basic “flossiphy” is simple:

“People don’t care about how much you know until they know about how much you care.”

Perry welcomes new and returning patients to East Kildonan Dental Group.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a holistic dentist?

A holistic dentist considers a patient’s oral health as part of their broader health and well-being. This may include reviewing medical history, medications, lifestyle, treatment materials and personal preferences when planning dental care.

How is holistic dentistry different from general dentistry?

Holistic dentistry is not a separate dental specialty. It describes an approach that considers the patient as a whole while providing appropriate preventive, restorative and general dental treatment.

What happens during a holistic dental appointment?

The dentist reviews your dental and medical history, discusses your concerns and examines your teeth and gums. You will receive an explanation of the findings and an opportunity to discuss suitable treatment options.

Can I ask about the materials used in my dental treatment?

Yes. Patients are encouraged to ask about proposed treatments, materials, alternatives and other considerations before deciding how to proceed.

Dr. Supinder Lotay (Supi) was born and raised in Winnipeg, in a year he has never admitted to and never will. He went to the world renowned University of Manitoba where he graduated dentistry in 2004. He enjoys all aspects of dentistry however, is particularly keen and interested in Root Canal Treatment, Crown and Bridge and Cosmetic Veneers.

He has the same belief as the other dentists and staff at EKD; Our Patients are our Family. He is very understanding and he and his team try their best to make the dental experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible for all patients.

When he isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his family, going to Winnipeg’s amazing restaurants, watching the JETS with whom he has an unhealthy emotional attachment to, going to crossfit (cause sometimes you just gotta go), having massages after those classes, travelling, and helping other people and patients plan their vacations. He also loves to work on his favorite hobbies which include “Netflixing”, working on his music (a grunge meets 90’s hip hop vibe) and writing entertaining bios at a nominal fee.

Dr. Supinder Lotay is a Punjabi speaking dentist and is also fluent in English, French and Hindu.

Dr. Alex was born in Ukraine, where he lived until the age of 7, when his family moved to Israel. After spending a significant part of his life in Israel, he and his family decided to make a home in Canada.

He comes from a family of dental professionals, with his grandfather and father being a lab technician and a denturist. Their choice of profession inspired Dr. Alex to become a dentist.

Dr. Alex graduated from the faculty of dentistry at the University of Manitoba with a DMD dental degree and a Bachelor of Science in dentistry degree.

In 2018, Dr. Alex completed a Master of Science Degree in Implantology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt.

Dr. Alex has also been actively involved in continuing education programs since graduation, predominantly in the area of implant dentistry. He is proud to offer implant dentistry services to the patients of East Kildonan Dental.

For the past several years, Dr. Alex has participated in annual dental missions to Guatemala through an organization called Health Outreach.

While in Guatemala, he also developed a soccer program for local children and holds an annual drive for donations of gently used soccer equipment and a soccer tournament between local villages.

He was a clinical instructor at the college of dentistry in the area of dental diagnostics and surgical sciences, a position he held from 2011 to 2023.

Dr. Alex believes that being a dental professional is only part of his role in the community. He is involved in the Jewish Foundation since right after graduating he established a scholarship for young adults who wish to pursue post-secondary education and he sits on their grants committee on that foundation.

At the University of Connecticut, Synjyn practiced all areas of dentistry including implant surgeries, surgical extractions and esthetic dentistry.
