About - SIX08 Dental

Our Story

In 2021, we expanded to offer comprehensive dental services with the addition of Dr. Bruce Burgess, bringing advanced restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic care to our patients. Continuing our commitment to excellence, we welcomed Dr. Garrett Kawa to the team in 2025, further enhancing our expertise and ability to meet the diverse needs of our community.

At SIX08 Dental & Dental Hygiene, we strive to create a comfortable, personalized experience for every patient. From preventative care and restorative treatments to cosmetic enhancements and orthodontics, our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile while providing care you can trust.

We are proud to serve the Lethbridge community and are committed to maintaining the highest standards in dental care, innovation, and patient comfort.

Prevention Comes First
Our roots are in dental hygiene, and that shapes everything we do. We believe oral health supports whole-body wellness, so we focus on catching concerns early, educating our patients, and helping families build habits that protect their smiles for life.
Care That Listens
Every visit starts with understanding you. We take the time to hear your concerns, explain your options clearly, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident in every decision, whether it's your first cleaning or a complete treatment plan.
Modern Dentistry, Personal Touch
From digital X-rays and CBCT imaging to implants, Invisalign, and airway-focused care, we invest in advanced technology and continued learning. But we never lose sight of what matters most: a calm, welcoming experience that feels personal from the moment you walk in.

Dr. Bruce Burgess graduated from the University of British Columbia and brings over 35 years of experience, knowledge, and dedication to patient care. Throughout his career, he has remained passionate about all aspects of dentistry, continually expanding his skills and staying current with advancements in dental care. He has developed a particular interest in airway and breathing-focused dentistry, working closely with patients to improve not only their oral health but also their overall well-being through proper airway function. In 2021, Dr. Burgess became a partner at Six08 Dental and was instrumental in expanding the clinic from a hygiene-focused practice to a full-service dental office. Since then, he has played a key role in the practice’s continued growth and in advancing its mission to provide comprehensive, accessible care to the community. Outside the clinic, Dr. Burgess leads an active and creative life. He enjoys biking, woodworking, and scuba diving whenever he gets the chance. A proud father of five and devoted husband, he values family and brings that same sense of care and connection to his work with patients and colleagues alike.
