Our Dentists

Dr. Sandi Di Fabrizio, DMD

General Dentist

Dr. Sandi Di Fabrizio was born and raised in Kelowna, B.C. and has spent most of her life in the Okanagan Valley. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Okanagan University College in 1998 and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of British Columbia in 2002. Since then she has been practicing in the Okanagan and encourages a preventive and restorative approach to dentistry. Dr. Di Fabrizio lives in Winfield, B.C. with her husband Wylie and enjoys playing soccer and spending time with her family and pets.
Dr. Grace Moore

General Dentist

Dr. Grace Moore was born and raised in Red Deer, Alberta, and grew up spending summers in Vernon. After graduating from high school, she moved to Kelowna to study environmental chemistry at UBCO. During her undergraduate studies, she volunteered at the Kelowna Gospel Mission dental clinic, which sparked her to pursue a career in dentistry. She then moved to Vancouver to complete her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) at the University of British Columbia.

Outside of work, Grace loves travelling and has visited over 25 countries. She also enjoys spending time outside. In the summer you can find her either surfing, wake-foiling or hiking. In the winter, you’ll find her snowboarding at Silverstar.

Grace loves that dentistry combines both science and art together into one profession. She is committed to providing personalized dental care to her patients in a comforting and caring manner. Whatever your dental needs may be, she is happy to help.
Dr. Rex Hawthorne, BSc, DMD

General Dentist

He attended St. James Elementary School and graduated from W.L. Seaton Secondary in 1986. Before continuing with his post-secondary education, he spent a year in Argentina on a Rotary Exchange. Rumour has it that he still speaks a little Spanish!

Dr. Hawthorne began his post-secondary education here in Vernon at the college, followed by a year in Kelowna at Okanagan College. He then attended UBC where he graduated in 1991 with his B.Sc. in Animal Biology. He was accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry, again at UBC and graduated with his D.M.D in 1995.

He then moved back to Vernon to begin his career. Dr. Hawthorne associated with Dr. Clark and Dr. Burnham, before purchasing Dr. Burnham's dental practice in 1996. In 2001, Dr. Hawthorne moved the practice from downtown to their current location in the Cornerstone Dental Building on 27th Street.

Dr. Hawthorne is an active member of an orthodontic (braces), implant and Botox study club. He has also taken numerous courses in the areas of cosmetic, laser, microscopic, Cerec, Implant, hard and soft tissue grafting and general dentistry.

When not spending time with his wife Melissa and children Makayla, Reece, and the twins, Ava and Ella, Dr. H enjoys most sports. Some of his favourites include skiing, wakeboarding, kite-boarding, and biking. He also enjoys tinkering around with computers.
Dr. Nicole Cordon, DMD

General Dentist

Originally hailing from Montreal, QC, Dr. Nicole Cordon graduated from the University of Montreal earning her Doctorate in Dental Medicine in 2013. Following graduation, she completed a General Practice Residency program at Mount Sinai hospital in Toronto. During this one-year elective, she was involved in providing dental services for persons with disabilities and the medically compromised. There, she also received additional training in sedation, oral surgery and emergency dental services.

Dr. Cordon has spent the better part of her time in private practice in Ontario but is thrilled to be returning to Vernon after working briefly in the beautiful Okanagan a few years ago. She has also spent several two week periods servicing remote Northern Ontario communities and most recently was part of a dental humanitarian mission to Ecuador providing free dental care to locals in two remote communities. Embarking on many more such adventures and providing dental care to underserved communities is something she hopes to continue throughout her career.

When not focused on dentistry, Dr. Cordon can be found cooking up feasts with her husband Johnny, hiking, cross-country skiing and entertaining their two wildly active kittens. She looks forward to providing a positive and comfortable dental experience to you and your family.
