Dr Firas Al Khalili

Firas was raised in Ottawa and later moved to Kingston where he attended Queen’s University. He went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Detroit Mercy, Michigan. Throughout the years, his personal philosophy has been to offer his patients the best of evidence-based dentistry. This commitment is demonstrated by his continued dedication to learning and participation in the field. Firas completed rotations in Anesthesia, Emergency Room, General Surgery and Medicine as part of a General Practice Residency Program. Before moving to Ottawa, Firas spent 10 years co-founding and managing a successful dental practice with his wife, Susan, in Michigan. During this time, he was awarded the distinguished title of Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Over the last 10 years, Firas and Susan established and continue to manage the Terry Fox Dental Centre in Kanata. Firas also currently serves as a peer reviewer of manuscripts for the Academy of General Dentistry. Nothing pleases him more than to sit one-on-one with a patient and to provide care using the best of what he has learned over the years. In his spare time, Firas enjoys cycling on the Ottawa River and spending time with his wife and three children.
