In Loving Memory of
Dr. Jessica Alcazar
1986 - 2024
A Dedicated Dentist, Loving Mother, & Friend
Dr. Jessica Alcazar, lovingly known as Dr. Jess, was more than a skilled and compassionate dentist—she was the heart of Granada Dental. A graduate of the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, she devoted herself to providing excellent care, especially to children, and fostering healthy smiles for families in Sherwood Park.
​
Beyond her exceptional work in dentistry, Dr. Jess was a vibrant member of our community. She balanced her passion for helping others with a love for baking, traveling, and playing hockey. Most of all, she cherished time spent with her family.
​
Her legacy continues to inspire us every day. At Granada Dental, we honor her memory by upholding her values of kindness, dedication, and the genuine care she gave to every patient.
The Granada Dental Team Continuing Dr. Jessica’s Legacy
Dr. Jessica Alcazar’s dedication to her patients and passion for exceptional care remain the heart of Granada Dental. Our team proudly carries her legacy of kindness, expertise, and community, fostering healthy smiles and a welcoming environment for all.
Dr. Milan Khanugra
General Dentist & Owner
I was born and raised in Edmonton, where I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta before moving to New York to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at NYU College of Dentistry.
​
I am honored to step into the role of caring for this clinic and its patients, recognizing the deep trust and connection that Dr. Jessica Alcazar built with this community. Dr. Alcazar’s passion for patient care and her commitment to making a difference in her patients’ lives leave a lasting legacy, one I hope to uphold with the same compassion and dedication.
My approach to dentistry is centered on patient education. I believe that understanding the "why" behind every procedure and focusing on prevention empowers patients to take control of their oral health. I also think communication—often with a touch of humor—is one of the most important tools for creating a comfortable and positive dental experience. My goal is to help every patient leave not only with a healthier smile but also with confidence and clarity about their care.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy sports (especially hockey), cooking, traveling, and spending time with my wife and our playful puppy, Saint Pablo. I’m looking forward to building connections with each of you and continuing to make this clinic a place where you feel supported and cared for.

Rose
Registered Dental Hygienist
Our longest-tenured team member is Rose. Helping our family of patients achieve excellent oral health since moving to Sherwood Park from Edmonton in 1990, her community is an important part of Rose’s life. She moved here to raise a family, and specifically looked for a place to work where community involvement was part of the dental practice philosophy! People are her passion and Rose takes a patient-centred approach in all she does. Providing evidence-based dental hygiene care while applying new research and techniques is her focus and she’s happy to share whatever information you want or need to attain and keep a healthy smile.
