Bernard Dental

Raised in the Lower Mainland, I completed a Master’s Degree in Pathology and had the privilege of earning my dental degree from the University of British Columbia in 2007. Upon graduation, I was posted to the Prairie provinces as a part of the Canadian Armed Forces for a four-year period that allowed me to fulfil my dedication to our great country. Throughout my military service, I worked extensively in private practice and completed many hours of advanced training particularly in surgical dentistry, root canals, oral sedation, and cosmetics. My dental philosophy is quite simple; eliminate dental disease and restore your teeth to their original condition using the latest in dental technologies. I truly believe that oral health is an extension of an individual’s overall health and it is important to maintain a disease free body.

I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba where I attended the University of Manitoba. Here I received my Bachelor of Science with a major in Zoology and a minor in Microbiology. In 2007 I graduated from the University of Manitoba with my dental degree and proceeded to work at a practice in south Winnipeg for 5 years. Here I worked at a very busy and progressive practice treating patients with the utmost care and respect. I have always had a love for British Columbia as I have spent many winter vacations out on the mountains snowboarding and as a result in the fall of 2012 I decided to make the move out to Kelowna. My dental philosophy has reflected my outlook on life and people and that is to always treat those around you with respect and kindness. I take great pride in developing a relationship with my patients, listening to their concerns, and treating them accordingly. I am currently certified as an Invisalign provider and have found this to be an amazing alternative to traditional orthodontics when treating malocclusion and giving patients their best looking smile. I strive to keep up to date on currently dental advances in technology and preventative dentistry while taking many continuing education courses throughout the year. I am pleased to say that I have made Kelowna my home, sharing it with my girlfriend, Paula, and my two husky dogs. In my leisure time I enjoy biking and hiking in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. Come say hi to myself and the rest of the team on your next visit to Bernard Dental.
