Staff Biographies
Bonnie Novack, Certified Dental Hygienist.
Bonnie has been an integral part of the practice since its inception. Her involvement extends far beyond Bonnie’s professional role as a dental hygienist to include the original design for the practice and its more recent comprehensive renovation. Each element of the office design reflects Bonnie’s elegant panache.
Bonnie received her Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene with distinction (Magna Cum Laude) from the University of Southern California (USC), School of Density in 1979. For several years thereafter Bonnie was a clinical instructor at USC, there she taught dental hygiene as well as local anesthesia and nitrous oxide sedation to dental student under the auspices of Dr. Stanley Malamed.
It was at the University of Southern California that Bonnie and Phil met. Together, they moved back to Toronto to start both the practice and their family. Bonnie’s specialized training and exceptional hygiene acumen make her indispensable not merely in our practice but, at International Hygiene Symposiums where she demonstrates the highest levels of periodontal hygiene techniques.
Last year, Bonnie’s organizational and stylistic efforts were put to the test in planning the recent marriage of our eldest daughter Sari (herself a dentist). This coupled with a successful interior decoration and design company that Bonnie founded represent just some of Bonnie’s many skill sets.
In summation, perhaps the best way to describe Bonnie is her wonderful ray of California sunshine that brightens up the lives of everyone she meets!
