Dr. Gabriel, is a general dentist who earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from University of Manitoba in 2013.

Yet, his aspiration for postgraduate excellence led him to transcend borders and continents.

After practicing as a general dentist for several years back home, Dr. Gabriel’s commitment to the highest standards of care has led him to pursue his dream of postgraduate scholarship. Venturing to the heart of Europe, he successfully acquired a Master’s in Health Care Quality Improvement and Leadership Development from the esteemed University of Helsinki in Finland. His quest for knowledge did not cease there; he further enriched his intellect with a Master’s of Health Science degree in Bioethics from University of Toronto.

Dr. Gabriel is a believer of preventative and conservative dentistry. He believes patients should be free from pain, experience comfort during their visits, and be empowered to make informed decisions regarding their oral health. His dedication to excellence is further evidenced by his extensive education, which has fortified his expertise in restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, root canal treatment, teeth extractions, and dentures. Dr. Gabriel proudly maintains his membership in the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario and the Ontario Dental Association.

Yet, Dr. Gabriel is not just an advocate of professionalism; he brings a lighthearted spirit to his work. Laughter often permeates the dental office, attesting to the harmonious atmosphere he cultivates. In his leisure hours, Dr. Gabriel finds comfort in the embrace of the great outdoors, where he cherishes moments spent with his beloved wife and two children, Maya and Mark. The rhythm of Latin dance also strikes a chord with his heart, prompting him to participate in social events whenever a babysitter can be secured for his children.

History of Our Dental Practice

Nestled in the heart of Corktown, this dental practice has etched its legacy in Hamilton for decades. In June of 1982, the baton was passed as Dr. David Debenetti assumed stewardship from the esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Soloman, who embarked on a specialist’s path at 199 McNab St South in Hamilton. Dr. Debenetti’s commitment to dental excellence led to acquiring Dr. Stanley Holick’s practice upon the latter’s retirement in 1993. The Dental practice, too, embarked on a journey, relocating to 135 James Street South.

In 1996, the torch of responsibility was upheld once more as the practice took under its wings the patients of Dr. George Williams, who retired due to health issues. The year 2000 marked a prominent move to 68 Charlton Avenue West, symbolizing the practice’s continued growth and dedication to its patients. Notably, in 2021, the Dental practice found a new home at 182 Jackson Street East, continuing its unwavering mission to provide exceptional dental care to the community.

Throughout these years, the practice has touched the lives of countless patients, bringing forth new smiles and tending to their dental needs with unyielding commitment.
