Bio
Dr. Stefanie Schader earned her dental degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1999. Following graduation, she completed a one-year hospital residency in London, Ontario, where she gained experience beyond general dentistry, including managing complex cases involving patients with additional medical needs. Dr. Schader went on to own and operate a private dental practice in London. During this time, she also served as a part-time faculty member in the Division of Prosthodontics at the University of Western Ontario, teaching crown and bridge procedures to dental students.
In 2010, Dr. Schader relocated to the Okanagan, where she has since practised as an associate dentist at several Kelowna practices. She joined Midtown Kelowna Dental in September 2026, bringing more than 25 years of clinical experience to the team. Over the years, Dr. Schader has developed a particular interest in caring for patients who experience dental anxiety. She offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation and is currently working toward certification in intravenous (IV) sedation. She also provides Invisalign clear aligner therapy and cosmetic and therapeutic Botox® treatments.
Committed to continuing education, Dr. Schader regularly participates in courses and professional development opportunities to expand her knowledge and skills and provide comprehensive dental care tailored to her patients' needs. Dr. Schader has called Kelowna home since 2010 and has two sons. Outside the office, she enjoys cooking, working on craft projects, spending time with her dogs and exploring the outdoors in the Okanagan.
