Dr. Angel Gabev, dentist in the West Island (DDO) dental clinic

Dr. Angel Gabev

CEO Dentist

Dr. Gabev is the fourth generation of doctors and third generation of dentists and was exposed to dentistry at a very young age growing up in his father’s and grandfather’s clinics. He decided to break the family traditions and obtained his Chemistry Engineering Bachelor and Master’s Degree from Bulgaria, accomplished a year long externship at Imperial College of London University and acquired a Masters Degree in Economics from Humboldt University (Berlin, Germany).

Even though Dr. Gabev has many degrees; he was always connected to dentistry, involved in research projects and collaborated on hydro-distillation and ultrasonic herbal extraction techniques for preparation of a mouth wash.

When he moved to Canada, his passion for dentistry and surgery made him pursue the family legacy subsequently completing his B.Sc. in Biology from Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) and Dentistry Degree (DMD) from McGill University (Montreal, Canada). Dr. Gabev went on to complete a comprehensive advanced multidisciplinary residency program at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health – a Rochester University affiliated Hospital (Rochester, NY, USA) emphasizing on implantology, socket preservation, ridge augmentation, impacted/third molar extractions, surgical extractions and preprosthetic surgery. He regularly attends surgical continuing education courses and seminars staying up to date with new materials, techniques and procedures.
