Mónica Gilabert Hernando

Surgery and Implant Dentistry

Dr Monica obtained her Dentistry degree in Spain in 2014, then moved to the UK to work as a general dentist in order to develop a deep understanding of all the fields that dentistry has to offer. She then continued her studies and obtained a Master Degree in Oral Surgery from the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute at UCL. She has since developed a true passion for oral surgery and decided to grow in this field with a postgraduate in Oral Implantology.

About Dr Monica: I have always believed that warm smiles are an universal language. I became interested in dentistry, not only for its connection with smiles but also because it’s a ‘hands-on’ profession that combines two of my biggest passions: science and helping others. After receiving my Degree in 2014 from the International University of Catalonia (“UIC”) I became a Spanish DDS MSc PGOI who possesses a genuine passion for the profession. This degree plus my work experience throughout the years, have given me the chance to benefit from world-class academic programs, innovative basics and translational oral science research methodologies.

When not hands-deep in patients’ mouths, Dr Monica enjoys hiking and travel and often manages to combine these two passions into one tiring but rewarding trip.
