About

Welcome to my website.

My name is Dr. Ahmed Farid.

I am a specialist Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon.

Although I am well-schooled and have a string of dental credentials behind my name (DMD, MSc (Perio), FRCD(C)), when all is said and done, what makes me the happiest is to give you the confidence you need to face the world.

In other words, I’m the guy behind your sparkling new smile.

Dental Solutions

I offer the following dental solutions to help you smile with confidence.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular, non-invasive cosmetic procedure to brighten smiles, effectively removing stains and discoloration for a radiant appearance, boosting confidence with professional and at-home options available.

Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is a transformative cosmetic dentistry process designed to enhance your smile's appearance, improving confidence and oral health through tailored treatments like veneers, whitening, and orthodontics.

Gum Reshaping

Gum reshaping is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing smiles by altering the gum line, offering a confidence boost to those with "gummy" smiles or uneven gum lines.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry revolutionizes smiles, boosting self-confidence through treatments like teeth whitening, clear aligners, veneers, and dental implants. Tailored to individual needs, it combines aesthetic enhancement with significant wellbeing benefits.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth, the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth.

Vestibulopathy Treatment

Treatment for vestibulopathy involves a combination of vestibular rehabilitation therapy, medications to manage symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and in some cases, surgical interventions to address underlying causes.

Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontitis treatment focuses on thoroughly cleaning the pockets around teeth to prevent damage to surrounding bone, including scaling and root planing, and may involve antibiotics or surgical interventions for severe cases.

Orthognathic Surgery Preparation

Preparation for orthognathic surgery involves comprehensive dental and medical evaluations, including X-rays, 3D models of your teeth, and possibly orthodontic treatment to align your teeth prior to surgery.

Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment

Non-surgical periodontal treatment includes scaling and root planing, a deep-cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, and antimicrobial agents to control bacterial growth.

Missing Teeth Replacement

Missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants, bridges, or dentures, improving oral function and aesthetics. The choice depends on the number of missing teeth, oral health, and patient preference.

Invisalign Teeth Alignment

Invisalign involves using a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to gradually shift teeth into their proper position, offering a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces for teeth alignment.

Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis treatment focuses on eliminating plaque buildup through professional dental cleanings and improved home care, including regular brushing, flossing, and possibly the use of antiseptic mouthwashes.

Gingival Depigmentation

Gingival depigmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at removing or reducing melanin pigmentation spots from the gums, often involving laser treatment, to achieve a more uniform gum color.

Frenectomy

Frenectomy involves the removal or modification of the frenulum, a small fold of tissue preventing movement of the lip or tongue, thereby improving oral function and speech.

Fixed Metal Braces

Fixed metal braces consist of brackets attached to each tooth, connected by wires, to gradually move teeth into the desired position, a time-tested method for correcting dental misalignments.

Aesthetic Crown-lengthening Surgery

Aesthetic crown-lengthening surgery involves reshaping the gum line and bone around the teeth to expose more of the tooth's surface, enhancing the appearance of the smile by creating a more balanced look.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a durable solution for replacing missing teeth, involving a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, topped with a crown, mimicking the look and function of natural teeth.
