Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Ali Safaei
DDS
Dr Ali Safaei graduated dentistry in 1991 From the University of Tehran. After graduating dental school he worked in an orthodontic specialty clinic and then in periodontics gathering experience while contemplating which areas of Dentistry he would be more interested to pursue.
”After years of working as a general dentist and attending hundreds of hours of continuing education in different areas of dentistry, seeing the constant change that happens in our industry, I am happy about my general dentistry practice. It has been an exciting era in our industry with new technologies and treatment modalities such as implants, Invisalign, Cerec, Cad Cam, CT scans, lasers etc. These have transformed how we think about oral health and delivering the services to our patients”
Dr Safaei moved to Vancouver and has been practicing in the Lower Mainland since 1999. He constantly strives to improve and hone his dental/surgical skills, and would love to provide dental excellence for you and your family!
