Meet Dr. Stephenson

About Dr. James Stephenson

Dr. Stephenson was born in Saskatoon and attended Aden Bowman Collegiate. He spent one year in Japan as a Rotary Exchange student before beginning studies at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1999, he graduated with Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees, both with distinction, and began a half-time faculty appointment at the University of Saskatchewan College of Dentistry.

During the three years he taught half time at the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Stephenson also practised general dentistry in Saskatoon. He was accepted to the University of Western Ontario Graduate Orthodontic program in London, Ontario in 2002 and moved his young family out east for his orthodontic residency. In 2005 he completed a Master of Clinical Dentistry degree in Orthodontics and returned home to purchase Dr. Jim Horn's orthodontic practice. Dr. Horn was the last practising Saskatchewan member of the longest standing orthodontic practice in Saskatoon: Henderson, Hill, Horn Orthodontists. This means Dr. Stephenson's office has now been helping provide healthy, beautiful smiles to the people of Saskatchewan for over 45 years.
