General Dentist | DDS
University of Toronto
Dr. Alexandra Montian is a General Dentist at Pleasant Valley Dental in Vernon
Dr. Alexandra Montian began dreaming of being a dentist she was six years old and living in Belarus. She moved to Toronto when she was ten. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Disease and a Master of Science in Oral Microbiology prior to graduating from University of Toronto with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2017.
While completing her DDS, Dr. Montian was fortunate to participate in two life-changing outreach opportunities, one in Honduras serving kids in need, and one in Toronto where she and another dental school classmate helped establish the Volunteer Dental Outreach (VDO) clinic in Halliburton, Ontario, which provides free dental services to local residents who cannot afford them. She is grateful to Dr. William Kerr, who implemented and ran both outreach programs.
Dr. Montian feels very fortunate to have joined the tight-knit Pleasant Valley Dental team. She feels it is a privilege to work along with talented, knowledgeable mentors like Dr. Bicknell and Dr. Denk. She is passionate about building lasting patient relationships and finds inspiration in patient diversity, unique health care goals, but especially their smiles. She finds dentistry most rewarding when patients are at ease and is very excited about the constantly evolving nature of technology in dentistry, which allow her to offer new techniques, treatment options and procedures to achieve better patient care and successful long-term results.
Dr. Montian moved to Okanagan in February 2018 with her husband, Yuri, in part because they always wanted to live closer to the mountains. They both enjoy anything that gets them outside, including backcountry camping, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving and skiing.The Montians feel they could not have landed in a better community and are very thankful for the warm welcome they have received!
