Emily Bujnoski DMD, MPH, FAGD

Originally from Erie, PA, Dr. Bujnoski graduated Cum Laude from Elon University (N.C.) where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience. She moved to the desert to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree at A.T. Still University, the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ASDOH). While at ASDOH, she also completed a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, with specific dental emphasis. Upon graduation, Dr. Bujnoski was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon honor society, a distinction awarded to the top 10% of dental school graduates.
Dr. Bujnoski is passionate about continuing education and advancing the field of dentistry. She is an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), where she serves in local, regional, and national leadership positions. She is also involved in the American Dental Association (ADA) as a member of the ADA’s Institute for Diversity in Leadership, a program focused on developing leadership skills for emerging leaders in dentistry. In 2022, she was named one of “10 Dentists to Watch” by AGD’s Impact magazine. In 2025, Dr. Bujnoski earned her Fellowship in the AGD (FAGD), an award earned by only 6% of general dentists.
Outside of the office, Dr. Bujnoski leads an active lifestyle and loves staying on the move. She enjoys running marathons, hiking the Valley’s tallest mountains, trying new restaurants and recipes, and traveling both across the country and internationally. Most of all, she cherishes spending time with her husband and their adorable Pomeranian, Teddy.

✨ Celebrating Women Leading the Profession ✨
This year, 6 out of 26 members on the Academy of General Dentistry Board of Trustees are women, a powerful example of how female leaders are guiding our profession forward and shaping the future of general dentistry. From advocating for diversity and inclusion to bringing fresh perspectives to decisions that impact dentists and patients alike, these leaders are truly making a difference.
Their voices help ensure that organized dentistry reflects the diversity of the workforce and the communities we serve, inspiring the next generation of women dentists to take on leadership at every level.
🌟 Let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made — and the work still ahead as we continue building a more inclusive profession!

We had an incredible turnout with 21 dental students participating in our 5-hour surgical CE course as part of the 3rd Annual AGD Surgical CE Series.
The course included a comprehensive lecture on flap design, suturing techniques, and tips for simple and surgical extractions, followed by hands-on practice. Students worked with pig jaws to practice drilling into teeth and bone, giving many participants their first experience performing extractions in a guided learning environment.
A big thank you to our instructors, Dr. Mai-Ly, MAGD, and Dr. Katie Martin, board-certified periodontist, for sharing their expertise and helping students build confidence in surgical skills.
We’re proud to continue providing hands-on educational opportunities for the next generation of dentists!

✨ AGD Member Spotlight: Dr. Cameron Kastl, DDS, FAGD ✨
Meet Cameron Kastl, owner of Douglas Family Dentistry and a proud Arizona native born and raised in Phoenix.
Dr. Kastl earned his BS in Kinesiology with a Minor in Business from Arizona State University, where he also served as a long snapper for the Arizona State Sun Devils football. He went on to complete dental school at the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle before pursuing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) through New York University College of Dentistry.
Today, Dr. Kastl leads Douglas Family Dentistry, where he is committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care to his community. Outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife Harper and their two children, Henley and Cooper, along with their dog Ryder. In his free time, you’ll likely find him outdoors hiking or fishing — or cheering on the Arizona State Sun Devils, Arizona Cardinals, and Phoenix Suns.
