Transforming Smiles, Building Connections: Meet Dr. Matthew Kotyk, Your Dedicated Orthodontic Specialist
Dr. Matthew Kotyk, originally from Winnipeg, pursued his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of Manitoba before earning a Master’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Ottawa. During his Master’s studies, he discovered his passion for problem-solving and working with his hands, which led him to a career in Orthodontics. Dr. Kotyk returned to the University of Manitoba, where he completed his Dental degree followed by a three-year Orthodontic residency. Dr. Kotyk achieved board certification as a specialist in Orthodontics through the Royal College of Dentists of Canada. He finds immense satisfaction in seeing the transformative results of treatment and the positive impact it has on his patients’ lives.
Dr. Kotyk also extends his expertise to underserved communities in Nunavut, where he provides orthodontic care to patients in remote regions. This work has offered him a deeper appreciation for the unique challenges of living in such distant parts of Canada and allowed him to form meaningful connections with local families.
Now based in Alberta, Dr. Kotyk, along with his wife, two sons, and their tiny 6-pound Chihuahua, is enjoying exploring Western Canada. As a passionate foodie, he and his wife have been delving into the local restaurant scene. He also enjoys revisiting his childhood through activities like playing Lego with his boys. Dr. Kotyk is looking forward to traveling more as his children grow older, especially to his favorite destination, the islands of the Philippines.
Dr. Kotyk is thrilled to be part of the myORTHODONTIST team, working alongside Dr. Cheba. He is eager to continue building strong relationships with all patients, both current and future, while delivering exceptional orthodontic care.
