About Us
Our History
Keystone Dental Centre has provided family dentistry to its patients in Brandon and the surrounding area for more than three decades. Dr. David Chin and Dr. Margaret Choy started the practice in 1987 after graduating from dentistry at the University of Manitoba. They’ve worked hard to build a clinic that is welcoming to their patients and staff.
In 2008, Keystone Dental Centre moved from Brandon Shoppers Mall to its current location on the corner of Richmond Avenue and 9th Street. The move allowed Dr. Chin and Dr. Choy to expand and increase comfort and accessibility for their patients.

She’s always looking out for our patients so they can feel comfortable at their dental appointments.
When she’s not studying or at work, Karina can be found volunteering at the Samaritan House Ministries, hanging out with friends, letting off some steam playing a variety of sports and watching episodes of Outer Banks on Netflix.
Morgan is dedicated to getting things done around the office so her team can make sure patient care comes first. She joined the clinic as a receptionist to get a change of pace and hasn’t looked back, especially since she gets to interact with some incredible people in front of and behind the front desk.
She can’t leave the restaurant industry behind; when she’s not working, Morgan is helping her husband at their restaurant. She also loves being with her kids, rewatching The Princess Bride (over and over – it’s a work of art) and waking up early in the morning to listen to some music.
Alexis is one of the first people you’ll see when you step into the clinic. She has years of experience in the medical field and loves to help our patients start their dental journey. Organization is an art; one she practices regularly and with joy.
