Read bio
After graduating from McGill University School of Dentistry in 1991 Dr. Christophe relocated to Kelowna in 1992. The numerous outdoor activities available in the Okanagan were the main reason for this cross country move and he remains active doing a variety of these to this day. He has been part of Acorn Dental and Implant Center (previously named Acorn Dental Group) for over 32 years. Having many multi-generational families as patients over this time is a testament to his focus on relationships with the clients he treats. He is committed to meeting the wants and needs of his patients by presenting both ideal as well as practical Dental solutions.
