Dr. Cornel Gabor, General Dentist, graduated from McGill Dental School in 2010. He then moved to Vancouver to complete a one-year General Practice Residency at UBC, where he further trained in sedation, surgery, and provided care to underprivileged communities in BC and abroad.

Dr. Gabor strives for high quality work and is always trying to improve himself by staying current with new techniques and technologies. He attends numerous continuing education courses and focuses on dental extractions, implants and crown and bridge. He is an active member of the Canadian Association of Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics (CARDP).

He strives to provide patients with the highest standard of care and an overall heightened patient experience here at your Yaletown dental clinic. When he is not at the office, Dr. Gabor enjoys playing tennis, going to the gym, fixing his boat and, above all, spending time with his daughter.

Dr. Nazemi was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to Vancouver at the age of 9. He attended Simon Fraser University for an undergraduate degree in Chemistry before completing his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry at UBC. After graduation, Dr. Nazemi worked in Northern Alberta to gain experience and challenge himself with his new profession. Dr. Nazemi enjoys working out, family time, and learning new skills. He has a passion for a healthy lifestyle and embraces that as much as he can while not in the office. Since living in Alberta he has indulged in such hobbies as quad mudding and ice fishing! He’s also put much time into home renovations and carpentry. If he’s not in the dental office or at the gym, he enjoys spending quality time with his two young nephews!

Dr. Nazemi is determined to improve his skill set by learning every day. Continuing education in areas such as surgery and sedation practices has allowed him to become versed in more complex procedures. He feels the best patient experience comes with knowing exactly what the patient wants, and striving to meet that goal. “Helping people has always been of importance to me. The reason I sought out becoming a doctor was to do so. But becoming a dentist allowed me the skill set to enrich people’s lives. There’s nothing better than knowing you made someone’s life that much happier”.

Dr. Mona Shoman graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Dental program with Distinction in 2005. Upon completing her diploma, she worked in her hometown Saskatoon for several years under the mentorship of her school instructors. She sharpened her dental skills as well as patient management at that time. She feels incredibly fortunate to have had the guidance and leadership of accomplished dentists to help her in her early years.

After approximately five years in the same practice, she left for Alberta where she continued to practice, learn and grow. She discovered her special love for treating children and took extra training in that field. Dr. Shoman sees pediatric dentistry not only as a very important aspect of her work, but an even more important part of a child’s life and relationship to their dentist. A child’s early memory of “the dentist” remains with them for life, so she goes the extra mile always to try and make it a positive one.

After a few years of practicing in Calgary, Dr. Shoman purchased her own practice which grew exponentially in a short period of time. She is very proud of her hard work and efforts in Alberta but has now settled in BC with our team. Dr. Shoman has continued her education and training throughout her 17-year career including digital and 3D dentistry, root canal therapy, laser dentistry, oral surgery, Invisalign and pediatrics. She is up to date on the latest technology and materials.

Dr. Shoman is part time faculty at the University of British Columbia. Being a dentist has been her dream since she was 14 years old. She fell in love with the profession when as a youngster she had an amazing dentist who opened her eyes to how gratifying it is to help people. Dr. Mona Shoman can’t wait to meet you at Olympic Village Dental and to take care of your family’s needs.
