Dr. Paluka was born and raised in Albania. At the age of 18, she moved to Italy to pursue her studies. She earned her first Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Perugia in Italy in 2010. She graduated with magna cum laude and was the youngest doctor to graduate in her class.

Later that year, she moved to Michigan to join the love of her life. As she was preparing to take the board exams, she volunteered for two and a half years at St. Vincent De Paul outreach dental clinic, helping to serve the underserved population of Detroit by providing dental care. It was there that she met Dr. Steinberg. After working together, they realized that they shared the same passion for exceptional dentistry. Dr. Paluka found a great mentor and a caring and loving professional who put his heart and soul into the work he did. The two kept in touch during the time she continued her studies at the University of Detroit Mercy Dental School, where she earned her second dental degree in May of 2016. Soon after, Dr. Paluka joined Dr. Steinberg’s practice.With a very good knowledge in prosthodontics and dental materials, she stays up to date with continuing education courses to provide the best care for her patients.
