Dr. MONICA MONTY

Dr. Monty attended medical school and dental school and graduated in 1989 with a DMD degree in dentistry (The Institute for Medicine and Pharmacy Cluj-Napocca). The research for her graduation thesis focused on adhesive materials and techniques used in the fixed partial restoration of small edentulous spaces.
Dr. Monty moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1993 and received her National Board Certification in 1996.
Since 1997 Dr. Monty has enjoyed her part time teaching position at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia. She also has a private practice in downtown Vancouver.

"My work and my family are my life. They are what makes me happy. If my positive attitude and cheerful nature takes off on people even in a small way, if I can take pain away or put a smile on someone's face, it pleases me more than any words can say."
