Aiming for a healthier smile? Our team of dental professionals are here to help.

Our Dentists

  • Dr. Sean Bicknell, DMD

    General Dentist

    Dr. Bicknell graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2003 with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine. Dr. Bicknell was actively involved in dental school, including serving as class president, student representative for the 2002 Canadian Dental Association Accreditation Committee, and was the university’s representative at the 2002 North American Dental Student research seminar at the American Dental Association headquarters in Chicago.

    Dr. Bicknell pursued educational training in addition to his DMD, and was one of two students to simultaneously complete and receive a Bachelor of Science in Dentistry (BSC DENT). His expanded coursework focused on research in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and he was privileged and honored to have his study “Frequency of Pharyngoplasty After Primary Repair of Cleft Palate” published in the December 2002 issue of The Journal of the Canadian Dental Association.

    Prior to moving to Vernon, Dr. Bicknell worked for Health Canada servicing the remote communities of Northern Manitoba for two years following graduation. He found this to be an amazing experience not only professionally but personally as well—being able to see some extremely isolated parts of the country and meeting some amazing folks along the way!

    A major highlight of Dr. Bicknell’s career was his mission trip to Guatemala in 2003. While working out of a little school house in the middle of third-world Guatemala definitely presented its challenges, but being able to help those in need was a feeling and experience he will never forget.

    Dr. Bicknell is committed to continuing education, particularly in the area of dental implants. He’s travelled across North America to pursue excellence in dental implant placement and restoration and he is continually amazed and inspired by the positive changes he has seen in his dental implant patients. His passion for dentistry continues to evolve as the technological side of the profession continues to advance, evidenced by the equipment Pleasant Valley Dental invests in. Not only does this allow great patient care, it keeps work fun and interesting for Dr. Bicknell and the Pleasant Valley team!

    Dr. Bicknell offers a comprehensive mix of dental services and enjoys seeing patients of all ages. He still can’t decide whether the kids are more excited to see him or to visit his treasure chest in the waiting room. He feels very fortunate to have so many wonderful patients put their trust in him and promises to always do his best to provide you the greatest care possible.

    Dr. Bicknell and his wife, Jessie, have been proud to call Vernon home since 2005 when they moved and joined the team at Pleasant Valley Dental. They are proud parents to four children: Anderson (born 2007), Chloe (born 2009), Carys (born 2012), and Sullivan (born 2014). (Needless to say there is never a dull moment around the Bicknell household!) The Bicknells felt Vernon would be the perfect community to raise their family and enjoy a laid-back and simple lifestyle couldn’t be any happier with their choice–they love Vernon and all the extraordinary people they have met here over the years.

    The Bicknell family are active outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy skiing, hiking, biking, and everything else the Okanagan has to offer.

  • Dr. Alexandra Montian, DDS

    General Dentist

    Dr. Alexandra Montian began dreaming of being a dentist she was six years old and living in Belarus. She moved to Toronto when she was ten. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Disease and a Master of Science in Oral Microbiology prior to graduating from University of Toronto with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2017.

    While completing her DDS, Dr. Montian was fortunate to participate in two life-changing outreach opportunities, one in Honduras serving kids in need, and one in Toronto where she and another dental school classmate helped establish the Volunteer Dental Outreach (VDO) clinic in Halliburton, Ontario, which provides free dental services to local residents who cannot afford them. She is grateful to Dr. William Kerr, who implemented and ran both outreach programs.

    Dr. Montian feels very fortunate to have joined the tight-knit Pleasant Valley Dental team. She feels it is a privilege to work along with talented, knowledgeable mentors like Dr. Bicknell and Dr. Denk. She is passionate about building lasting patient relationships and finds inspiration in patient diversity, unique health care goals, but especially their smiles. She finds dentistry most rewarding when patients are at ease and is very excited about the constantly evolving nature of technology in dentistry, which allow her to offer new techniques, treatment options and procedures to achieve better patient care and successful long-term results.

    Dr. Montian moved to Okanagan in February 2018 with her husband, Yuri, in part because they always wanted to live closer to the mountains. They both enjoy anything that gets them outside, including backcountry camping, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving and skiing.The Montians feel they could not have landed in a better community and are very thankful for the warm welcome they have received!

  • Dr. Marcus Hackman, DMD

    General Dentist

    Dr. Hackman attended the University of Alberta for a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry, graduating in 2015. He then completed his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in 2019. After working for 2 years in Alberta, he decided to move to the beautiful Okanagan in May 2021.

    Connecting isolated and underserved communities to dental care is an aspect of dentistry that Dr. Hackman finds great enjoyment in. He’s volunteered care in a small community in Jamaica, the downtown Eastside of Vancouver, and is hoping to find more similar opportunities.

    Dr. Hackman is ecstatic to be working with the brilliant Pleasant Valley team and cutting edge technology to deliver top notch care for patients. He loves meeting new people and helping them overcome any fears or barriers that have prevented them from an immaculate oral health.

    Marcus is constantly seeking out adventure and the outdoors, enjoying back country hiking, scuba diving, golfing, snowboarding and camping.

  • Dr. Reza Noei, DMD

    General Dentist

    Dr. Noei obtained his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Concordia University in Montreal before embarking on a career in research. Subsequently, he pursued further education in dentistry, graduating from the University of Montreal in 2018 with a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree. Dr. Noei spent four years practicing in Ontario before relocating to the scenic West Coast. He ultimately chose Vernon as his permanent residence and professional base.

    Dr. Noei places significant emphasis on preventive dental care, advocating for regular check-ups and cleanings. Committed to professional development, he dedicates considerable time to reading, attending conferences, and staying updated on the latest developments in dentistry. In his leisure hours, he finds enjoyment in hiking, exploring new places, and cherishing moments with his family and friends.

    Dr. Noei is fluent in English, French and Persian.
