Hi, I’m Dr. Sheema Samarrae
I am a dentist in Ottawa with a passion for creating healthy, beautiful smiles. My journey in dentistry began over 20 years ago when I graduated in 1998 with a degree in Dental Medicine and Oral Surgery from the University of Baghdad. I initially practiced in Baghdad and Dubai, and later moved to Canada, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the Schulich School of Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario in 2008.
I’m dedicated to staying at the cutting edge of dental care. Over the years, I’ve completed more than 1,800 hours of continuing education, training at some of the world’s most respected institutions like the Toronto Implant Institute, Pikos Implant Institute, and the Kois Center. This commitment allows me to offer my patients the latest advancements in dental treatment and care.
I’m a proud member of the Canadian Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, International Team for Implantology, and the International Association of Orthodontics. I’m also a Fellow of the American Dental Implant Association. I believe that knowledge is key, and I make it a point to continuously learn and grow in my field to ensure I provide the best care possible.
I’m also passionate about helping other dentists develop their skills. I mentor and train fellow professionals in implant and restorative dentistry, sharing my knowledge to raise the standard of care across the field.
