Hello Friends,
It is with great delight that I introduce Dr. Ghada Ibrahim as the new addition to our team. Since August 1st 2022, Dr. Ghada Ibrahim has joined me in providing dental care for patients, and also as the new owner of the clinic. Ghada is by no means new to the clinic, as many of you will remember her as my assistant for almost ten years. She moved on to further her education and attended the University of Toronto for her undergraduate degree. She later attended the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery Program (Dental School), which she graduated, with honours, in 2010. Ghada then went to practice dentistry in Northern Ontario communities and ran two extremely successful clinics of her own for twelve years. This allowed her to accumulate impressive clinical experience in all aspects of dentistry in addition to acquiring knowledge through continuous education. She is a caring and talented dentist who possesses the highest clinical qualifications and is extremely skilled in all aspects of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Above all, she is a dentist who truly puts her heart, soul and technical excellence into her work.
On a personal note, this is the moment I have been waiting for. Since Ghada attended dental school, I have been waiting for somebody I implicitly trust to join me in the practice and ultimately take the baton. Not only do I believe in her clinical excellence, but most of all I believe in her humanity, decency and moral values. It doesn’t hurt that she has a great sense of humour too. After thirty years, I consider all of you not just patients or friends, but family as well. As you have all placed your trust and confidence in allowing me to care for you, I share the same amount of trust and confidence in Dr. Ghada Ibrahim to provide you and your loved ones the best care.
To assure everybody, I would like to add that I am not leaving the clinic any time soon. While working through the gradual transition of ownership and preparing for my retirement, both Ghada and I will be providing dental care together at the clinic for all of our patients. Ghada is bringing a wealth of experience in dental clinic management; with eternal gratitude I am happy to pass that to her.
Practicing alongside Ghada was my dream and I hope that all of you will welcome her to the practice by extending your goodwill as you did for me during the past thirty years.
Forever grateful,
Dr. Ghada Ibrahim
Dr. Ibrahim is not your average dentist. Her journey started with an interest in performing and acting at a young age. However, her passion for science and academic excellence led her to become a distinguished student involved in science competitions and theatre productions throughout her academic years.
Her dental career began as a dental assistant, working with Dr. Bilic between 1996 and 2003. She was later accepted into dental school at the University of Toronto, where she graduated with honors in 2010. As a distinguished dental student, she was invited to become a member of the AKU honor dental society.
Dr. Ibrahim's passion for dentistry led her to own two practices in Northwestern Ontario, where she gained extensive dental experience working with the aboriginal people of Canada. She got to know their rich culture and history, which helped her become a more compassionate and culturally sensitive dentist.
As a general practitioner, Dr. Ibrahim offers a variety of dental services and is an experienced dentist in oral surgery, restorative dentistry, and prosthodontics. She continues to enhance her skills through continuing education in implants, surgery, restorative dentistry, management, Botox, and fillers. Dr. Ibrahim holds active certificates in both implant surgery and Botox and fillers treatment.
For Dr. Ibrahim, dentistry is not just a profession but a passion that she enjoys every day. She considers her clinic her family, friends, and colleagues, not merely a business venture. She is honored to follow in the footsteps of two great dentists who preceded her in this clinic and aims to provide the best clinical outcome for her patients while ensuring a comfortable and positive experience.
When Dr. Ibrahim is not working, you can find her at the gym, hiking, fishing with her family, and traveling the world. She is also a staunch advocate for human rights and dedicates her time and energy to various humanitarian causes. Dr. Ibrahim is not just a dentist, but a well-rounded individual who brings her passion, dedication, and compassion to everything she does
