Dr. John Rector

My interest in dentistry began at a young age, having been inspired by Dr. Bill Rector’s passion for dentistry throughout my life. I attended Saint Mary’s University and completed my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry before graduating from the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry in 2011, at which time I returned to my hometown of Hampton, NB.

Since then, I have enjoyed working with the team at Canterbury Dental Clinic, as well as our valued patients.  While I have an appreciation for all areas of dentistry, I am particularly interested in dental implants and crown work.

When I’m not in the office, I spend most of my time with family and friends, and enjoy activities such as hiking, dirt biking, and being outdoors.

Dr. Chad Tibbo

I was born and raised in Lake Echo, NS and participated in many different sports and outdoor activities year round. I attended Dalhousie University, where I completed my Bachelor of Science with a combined Honours degree in Biochemistry and Immunology. Upon graduation I worked for Health Canada before deciding to return to university, graduating from Dalhousie University as a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2015.

I now consider Saint John, NB a second home, having joined the team at Canterbury Dental Clinic upon completion of my dental degree.  I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, and strive to provide my patients with the best possible care, including nitrous sedation, which allows for extra comfort and relaxation to anxious patients during certain procedures.

When I’m not working, my wife and I like to see our family and friends, and I still spend as much time as I can in the outdoors and playing sports.

Dr. William R. Rector

Prior to becoming a dentist, I graduated from McGill University with a degree in Agriculture and worked in Western Canada in this field for several years, during which time I met my wife. We decided to return to Nova Scotia, where I was born, so that I could pursue my degree in dentistry, and I graduated from the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry in 1974.  I established the Hampton Dental Clinic in 1975, and now I operate out of the Sussex Dental Clinic and the Canterbury Dental Clinic. Restoring and opening the Canterbury Dental Clinic is an endeavor I am very proud of, and I am grateful to the team we have, knowing we provide our patients with the best possible care.

It would be an understatement to say that I have a passion for both dentistry and my patients, including several animals over the years, such as an African elephant and a German Sheppard guard dog!  I have a strong interest in preventive dentistry, salvaging existing teeth, crowns and bridges but am most passionate about root canals, failed root canals and one appointment make overs.

While a big portion of my life is dedicated to dentistry, I also enjoy traveling with my wife Dianne, and spending time on the Belleisle Bay with my children, grandchildren, family, and friends with a good glass of wine.

Dr. Debbie Winslow

Originally from Ontario, I moved to Nova Scotia with my family as a child and completed my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from St. FX University.  In 1981 I graduated from Dalhousie Dental School and relocated to Quispamsis, NB, where I have lived ever since. I began working with Dr. Bill Rector in 2006, and since then my passion for dentistry has continued to grow.  I especially enjoy working with young children and teaching them about the value of good oral health from a young age.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling to new places, both near and far, being active in the outdoors, and spending time with my family and friends.

Heather Moulton-Sullivan

I moved to Saint John, NB with my family in the mid-1980’s and have called it home ever since. I began my career in the dental field after graduating from the Dental Technology Program at NSIT in 1992, and spent the following 15 years working as an Orthodontic Lab Technician.   I decided to advance my education in the dental field and graduated from the Dental Hygiene Program at John Abbott College in 2007, at which time I joined Dr. Bill Rector and his team as a hygienist.

I enjoy being challenged in my job and working with patients of all ages.  I am compassionate and understand the fears many people have around dentistry, and strive to make all of my patients’ experiences positive ones.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family.  You can usually find us out on our motorcycles or tackling projects at home.

I am originally from the Village of Charlo, NB and graduated from the Trois-Rivieres Dental Hygiene program in 1994.  I have been a Dental Hygienist since then, and was fortunate to join Dr. Bill Rector in 2007. I moved with him and his team to the Canterbury Dental Clinic when it opened in 2009, where I have continued to enjoy working with new and returning patients.  I have always been interested in general health and personal wellbeing, and I believe that good oral health plays a major part in that.

Outside of working hours I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, which includes wilderness camping and kayaking.

Originally from Bathurst, NB, I attended the John Abbot College and completed the Dental Hygiene Program in 2002.  Upon graduation, I moved to Hampton, NB and began working at the Hampton Dental Clinic, which is where I first met Dr. Bill Rector.   His passion for dentistry is a strong motivator for his staff and patients, and I was happy to have the opportunity to join him at the Canterbury Dental Clinic in 2014.

I enjoy continued education, and completed the Local Anesthetic Course for Dental Hygienists at the University of Alberta. I have grown fond of doing restorations throughout my career, and am grateful for the opportunity to practice as a Dental Hygienist.

After growing up in Black River, NB, I completed my Dental Assisting program and spent the next 10 years working in that field.  I decided to further my education and attended the Canadian National Institute of Health, where I became a Dental Hygienist and upon graduation in 2012, had the pleasure of joining the team at the Canterbury Dental Clinic.

As a Dental Hygienist, I enjoy interacting with patients of all ages, educating them on oral hygiene and good oral health.

Outside of the office I spend most of my time with my family, including my two young children, who keep me very busy.

I strive to ensure the chairs run smoothly for our doctors and team, and that our patients have the best experience possible.

We are outdoor enthusiasts and love taking in all of the activities nature has to offer, especially when they are shared with family and friends.
