Meet the Founders
Daryl and Jamie Ushko aren't just business partners - they're life partners too! This dynamic husband-and-wife duo combined their passions to create something truly special in Kamloops.
What inspired us to open Mighty Molar, the first dental hygiene-only clinic in Kamloops? It all started with a shared dream: to revolutionize dental care in our community. Daryl's 14 years of experience as a Dental Hygiene Practitioner showed him firsthand the need for a more comfortable, client-focused approach to oral health. Meanwhile, Jamie's knack for operations and customer care made her the perfect partner to bring this vision to life.
We realized that by focusing solely on dental hygiene, we could offer a unique, stress-free experience that puts our clients' comfort first. No more dreading dental visits - we wanted to create a place where taking care of your smile feels like a treat!
Our goal? To make Mighty Molar feel like an extension of your family. A place where you're greeted by name, your concerns are heard, and your smile is celebrated. From cozy amenities to our entertainment suite, every detail is designed with you in mind.
Together, we're not just cleaning teeth - we're building a community of healthy, confident smiles in Kamloops. Come join our dental family and see the Mighty Molar difference for yourself!

Daryl Ushko
Dental Hygiene Practitioner & Co-Founder
With 14 years of experience and a heart of gold, Daryl lives by the motto "It's cool to be kind." When he's not perfecting smiles, you'll find him hiking Kamloops trails with his beloved dogs or cheering on his favorite sports teams. Daryl's passion for the great outdoors is matched only by his dedication to client care. He believes in treating every client like family, ensuring your comfort from the moment you step into Mighty Molar.
Jamie Ushko
Co-Founder & Operations Whiz
While her full-time career keeps her busy in the world of mortgages, Jamie is the secret ingredient in Mighty Molar's success recipe. As co-founder, she ensures all the behind-the-scenes details run smoothly, from operations to client experience. Her keen eye for numbers and knack for efficiency help keep Mighty Molar at the forefront of dental care innovation.

Haley Grohn
Dental Hygienist
With nearly five years of experience, Haley brings both skill and compassion to every appointment. She was first inspired by the care she received from her own hygienist growing up, and now she’s passionate about providing focused preventative hygiene care that helps people feel comfortable and confident in their smiles.
When she’s not at Mighty Molar, you’ll find her snowboarding at Sun Peaks in the winter or swimming in local lakes during the summer. Haley’s love for the outdoors is matched by her dedication to client care—making oral health approachable, accessible, and maybe even a little fun along the way.
