Dr. Jay Junio
Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Dr. Jay graduated from the University of British Columbia with his B.Sc in Cellular Biology and Genetics. He then travelled to Europe to earn his dental degree from Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest, Hungary where he received the highest honours of his graduating class as summa cum laude.

Dr. Robert Hogarth
Dr. Robert Hogarth has been practicing dentistry since 2014, with a strong commitment to providing high-quality care that prioritizes patient comfort and long-term results. He has a particular interest and extensive experience in Implantology and Oral Rehabilitation, helping patients restore full function and achieve confident, natural-looking smiles.
Dr. Hogarth completed the Regenerator Program with Dr. Istvan Urban in Budapest, Hungary, which equipped him to treat complex hard- and soft-tissue defects. He further enhanced his skills through the Master Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry, a year-long residency with gIDE, where he trained in advanced surgical and aesthetic protocols under Dr. Sascha Jovanovic and a team of world-class clinicians.
In addition to his surgical acumen, Dr. Hogarth has comprehensive training in holistic dentistry. He ensures that every treatment plan supports not only oral health but overall systemic wellness. He places a strong emphasis on using biocompatible materials to minimize pain, reduce inflammation, and provide solutions designed for longevity.
Dr. Hogarth also trained under Dr. Ed McLaren in smile design. His approach focuses on minimally invasive dentistry, using all-ceramic materials to strengthen and preserve the natural tooth structure. Through detailed photography, prototypes, and artistic vision, he collaborates with patients to create smiles that reflect their individuality.
Originally from Vancouver, BC, Dr. Hogarth holds a degree in Microbiology from the University of Saskatchewan and earned his dental degrees from Semmelweis University in Budapest and Boston University School of Dental Medicine. Outside of his dental practice, he enjoys hiking, skiing, and spending quality time with friends and family
