Dr. Rodney Shainbom graduated with his dental degree from the University of Witwatersrand and operated his own private practice in Johannesburg, South Africa for 15 years, before immigrating to Canada in 1996. After working as an associate, he opened his own private practice in 2001 in West Vancouver, BC, and just sold that clinic due to his relocation close to the border. Due to the impeccable standard of training he acquired at “Wits”, Dr. Shainbom is proficient at all areas of general dentistry, including exams, restorations, endodontics, extractions and surgery. Specifically, he greatly enjoys the process of helping a patient achieve their goals for their dental health and their aesthetic appearance. Dr. Shainbom’s training and experience has made him an expert in fashioning crowns and veneers, as well as in completing grafting and other forms of surgery necessary to maintain functioning, comfort, beauty and enjoyment of one’s smile.

Dr. Shainbom believes that dentistry is a scientific art, where each person’s situation presents challenges and rewards that he is eager to address and to resolve, all with the patient’s full knowledge, input and guidance. Dr. Shainbom also continues his dental education in Canada and in the U.S., learning new skills and mastering innovations that improve patients’ outcomes and their dental care experience.

In his spare time, Dr. Shainbom enjoys outdoor activities with his wife, Vermeda, and with their animals, Zevi and Bob, as well as creative pursuits, such as painting, drawing and woodworking.
