Dentist—Prince Albert, SK
GET TO KNOW DR. Eduardo Tovar
For Dr. Tovar, the best part of being a dentist is simple—he gets to make a difference in his patients’ lives by restoring their oral health, overall health, and confidence. Often, this can be done in just one or two appointments and have a lifelong impact, which is extremely rewarding. We’re excited to have him on our team at Legacy Dental, and you can learn a little more about him below.
Why did you become a dentist?
Dr. Tovar has always been driven by a deep desire to help communities with limited access to dental care. Early in his career, he witnessed the profound impact that basic dental treatment can have on people's lives, especially those in underprivileged communities. Inspired by this experience, he chose dentistry as the ideal path to make a lasting difference and improve the well-being of others.
Where did you study dentistry?
Dr. Tovar earned both his undergraduate and DMD degrees from the University of Saskatchewan. From there, he went on to gain certifications in CBCT imaging, Invisalign, and CEREC.
Dr. Tovar is also able to provide a wide range of advanced services in-house, including dental implant placement and restoration, fixed prosthodontics (veneers/crowns/bridges), root canal treatment, wisdom tooth removal, and full mouth rehabilitation.
What do you like to do outside of dentistry?
Dr. Tovar’s family is scattered across the globe. His mom is a retired teacher living in Lloydminster, his dad runs a trucking company in Miami, and his younger sister is currently attending dental school in Australia. When he isn’t relaxing at home with his three dogs or sitting on a plane to visit family, he likes to stay active. He practices martial arts (having obtained black belts in both Karate and Taekwondo), does CrossFit, and trains in boxing.
