Dr. Abbey draws on a broad background of dental experience as both an endodontic specialist and general dentist gathered from working in the civilian and military sectors.

Dr. Abbey grew up in the West Kootenays of BC. Studied at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario before coming back to complete both his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree and eventually his endodontic residency, at the University of British Columbia.

In between his UBC dental and specialty programs Dr. Abbey worked in general practice in the Kootenays and on Vancouver Island, before joining the Canadian Forces and serving 15 years as part of 1 Dental Unit in BC, Quebec, Ontario and Afghanistan.

Dr. Abbey holds an endodontic specialty license with the College of Dental Surgeons of BC, is a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, a member of the Canadian Academy of Endodontics, and a member of the American Association of Endodontics.

Dr. Abbey enjoys skiing and snowboarding in the winter, as often as possible with his three children Julian, Bronwyn and Elijah, and either running or biking around our beautiful city and province in the summer.

Dr. Abbey is an annual attendee of the endodontics conferences held by both the Canadian Academy and American association of endodontics where he meets with colleagues and attends lectures on new techniques and materials in endodontics, to continue to provide current, state of the art endodontic treatment.
