 Dr. Ali Farahani“What is the most I can do to achieve excellent dental and complete health for my patients?” That is Dr. Farahani’s drive and philosophy in one sentence. “How can I help you in your wellness journey?”Since graduating from Dalhousie University in 2000, he has dedicated his professional life to learning from the “Masters in Dentistry” on everything from Whole-Body Dentistry to Dental Implants to Neuromuscular dentistry to Bone and Gum Regeneration.His passion is to rejuvenate the mouths and overall health of his adult patients who are looking to reverse the potentially toxic effects of past dentistry, restore their confidence in their smile and chewing by replacing missing teeth, missing bone, missing gums and rehabilitate their mouth with the best available technology and techniques.Personally, Ali is happily married to Cindy and has 3 wonderful children. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing soccer, living an active lifestyle, boxing, eclectic music (which you will hear at the office), coffee culture (which you will taste at the office) and of course travel. It never takes long for patients to feel his genuine care, personable nature and warm sense of humour before they know they are in great hands.”View Video to “meet” Dr. Farahani and find out why he became a dentist.
