Hello, I’m Dr. Ralph Krebs. I’ve been practicing Dentistry in North Waterloo since 1986, first at 209 Lexington Rd., and now at our new facilities at Eastbridge Dental Care.

I attended McMaster University where I received my B.Sc. I received my DDS degree from the University of Toronto. I am a member of the Canadian Dental Association, the Ontario Dental Association, the International Orthodontic Association, and the Waterloo-Wellington Dental Society. I am a Past-President of the WWDS and a Past-Chairman of the Health Care Committee of the ODA.

We have tried with Eastbridge Dental Care to foster a caring and relaxed atmosphere, and for that, I must thank my Associates and our excellent staff. Each and everyone works hard to provide you with the best experience possible. Drop by and say “Hello”, and I think you will agree.

I am married to another dentist (Dr. Christina Heidinger) and have two fine sons. (While not youngsters, they still keep me busy!) My interests include reading, history, tennis, snowboarding, music/recording, movies and miniature wargaming.

Hi, my name is Nancy.

I have been a team member at Eastbridge Dental since 2003.

Since joining the friendly work environment where I have been responsible for arranging the scheduling, dealing with insurance companies and patient accounts, and anything our patients need help with.

My bubbly, caring personality certainly assists me in my day to day activities and helps keep all the staff and patients in a great mood.

I’ve completed the Dental Assisting program at George Brown College. In my spare time, I enjoy snowboarding, dirt biking, unicycling, rollerblading, and camping with my family.

Hi, my name is Wanda,

I attended Medix College and earned a level II dental assisting certificate. I embarked on my career at Eastbridge Dental Care in 2008.

My friendly disposition and outgoing personality make me a great fit here. You can most often find me at the front desk answering the phone and scheduling appointments. I will also submit any estimates needed to your insurance company to see how much your benefits plan will contribute to the treatment your dentist recommended. Lastly, I also assist with the excellent orthodontic services we provide.

I enjoy practicing yoga and going to Zumba classes. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, especially my husband and our two dogs.

In 1994 I attended Career Canada College – and obtained my CDA Level 1, and in 2002 I obtained my CDA Level II certification.

Eastbridge Dental is almost my home away from home, I love it here! The casual, fun atmosphere, and the other staff members, makes for an excellent work environment. And our patients are incredible, many of which I consider friends.

With three young children, I don’t always have a lot of spare time but I do enjoy jogging outdoors when the weather is nice. Shopping is always a great way to spend some extra time…and I am a reluctant skier and snowboarder. However, my après-skiing is excellent!

I hope that I can make your visit to Eastbridge Dental Care as comfortable as possible. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me.

Hi, my name is Nora. I grew up in Montreal and moved to Kitchener-Waterloo when I was 16 years old. I am fluent in three languages: French, Arabic and English. In 2004 I graduated with honours and earned my CDA II degree. I have been a dental assistant for almost ten years now and I love what I do. I have worked for various dentists and have learned a lot over the years, and I bring all that knowledge with me to Eastbridge Dental Care.

I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Eastbridge Dental team. My primary job is assisting the hygienists and on occasion one of the dentists. It is a pleasure working with this amazing staff and multi-talented dentists. This office has become my home away from home!

In my spare time I enjoy traveling and discovering new places, singing and spending time with my wonderful family.
