About Us

After earning my Honours Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology and Physiology from the University of Western in 1981, I continued my studies at Western and earned my doctorate from the School of Dentistry in 1989. From there I completed an Advanced General Dentistry (AGD) residency at the United States Dental Activity in Fort Knox, KY. Becoming Board Certified in 1993 as an Advanced General Dentist with the Federal Services Board of General Dentistry and the American Board of General Dentistry gave me the skills and expertise necessary to complete a successful 26-year military career with the Royal Canadian Dental Corps (RCDC).

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology from Western University before completing my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, graduating with distinction and receiving the American College of Prosthodontics Award.

After graduation, I had the privilege of serving an underserved community in Northern Manitoba, where I provided a wide range of dental care in a high-demand setting. Returning home to Ontario, I’m excited to serve the city of Orillia and am passionate about improving the oral health and overall well-being of our community.

I enjoy all areas of dentistry, with a strong passion for oral surgery and endodontics. As a member of the Ontario Dental Association, I’m dedicated to lifelong learning and professional growth.

Outside the office, I love spending time with my family, staying active at the gym, and traveling to experience new places and cultures.

After earning my BA in Economics, I realized that my true passion came from helping others, so I returned to school and graduated from the George Brown College School of Dental Health Denturism Program with honors in 2005. Because I have a special interest in the area of using dental implants to secure dentures, I returned to George Brown as an instructor, specifically teaching clinical aspects of denturism placement in implant cases.

When you are missing several or all of your teeth, your quality of life will inevitably suffer. My first goal for your care is to get you back to chewing your food comfortably and speaking with ease after assessing your health history and designing a treatment plan that suits your personal needs. What I particularly like about being a denturist in Orillia is this ability to create an experience that results in you feeling not only that your dentures are functioning the way you want them to but that they also help you smile and speak with confidence.

When not helping people fall in love with their smiles again, I enjoy activities and camping with my wife and two sons. My active lifestyle includes playing tennis, mountain biking, and skiing.
