MEET THE TEAM

Highly qualified professionals

Dr. Roozbeh Rashed

ORTHODONTIST

“As each patient is unique, an orthodontist must not only utilize acquired knowledge and skills, but also must draw upon innovation and creativity to effectively plan and treat orthodontic challenges. This aspect of orthodontics continues to thrill me.

“It is also fulfilling to witness how the kids and teenagers grow up and how I can make them happier and more confident by giving them the smile they deserve. When I see my patients after several years and we look at their old pictures together, I love to see their big smile and surprised faces as they acknowledge again how orthodontic treatment has been able to improve their smile and make a difference in their lives.

“My goal is to build trust with my patients. My top priority is to offer personalized and professional advice when it comes to the dental care of my patients. I take my job and commitment to all of my patients very seriously.” — Dr. Roozbeh Rashed

Dr. Rashed is an expert orthodontist who has been in the practice of orthodontics for eighteen years. A son and grandson of physicians, he has always been inspired by the way they were able to make a difference in their patients’ lives. Dr. Rashed believes that healthcare professionals have the ability to enhance their patients’ quality of life, whether by alleviating their pain or giving them a beautiful smile.

It’s a point of principle for Dr. Rashed that all of his patients are treated like family so they are relaxed the second they walk through the door of the clinic. He also wants to make sure there are no surprises or miscommunications between him and his patients, so he fully briefs each person on what to expect.

Education and Continuing Education

After completion of his general dentistry (DDS, Iran), Dr. Rashed obtained his orthodontic specialty certifications in both Iran (MSc from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences) and Canada (the University of Toronto). He is honored to be a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (FRCD(C)) and hold official recognition as a certified orthodontist.

Trained in a top Iranian dental school and an internationally recognized orthodontics program in Canada, Dr. Rashed was fortunate to treat several orthodontic and orthopedic cases that ranged from interceptive treatment in children to the most complicated cases requiring comprehensive orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.

Dr. Rashed was honored as the top-ranked graduate student in the National Iranian Orthodontic Specialty Board Examination. He served as an assistant university professor for six years and was involved in research, practice, and the teaching orthodontics to dental students and orthodontic residents.

Dr. Leila Raziee

PEDIATRIC DENTIST

“I believe that working with children is fun, and as a dentist, I have always loved working with kids and have been able to communicate with them easily. I think the most rewarding aspect of pediatric dentistry is being able to bring a smile to the face of a child.” — Dr. Leila Raziee.

Dr. Leila’s goal is to provide quality dental treatment in a friendly environment and to make your children’s dental visit as pleasant as possible. She is dedicated to creating a dental atmosphere that encourages cooperation, education, and most of all, fun!

Education

Dr. Leila earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in Iran, after which she practiced for two years as a general dentist. During that time, she realized her passion for pediatric dentistry.

Dr. Leila was accepted into a three-year residency program to obtain her master’s in pediatric dentistry in Iran. She practiced for seven years as a pediatric dentist there. After coming to Canada, she completed a three-year program at the University of Toronto to obtain her MSc in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Leila is a board-certified specialist in pediatric dentistry.
