Dr. Osman Anwar, BSc, DDS*

INTRO

I have been a proud Albertan for most of my life. After moving to the province, I attended the public system in Calgary.

EDUCATION

I earned a B.Sc. in Microbiology from the University of Calgary. During my B.Sc., I volunteered on Friday afternoons at Foothills Hospital, talking with elderly patients, serving hot dinners, offering ice water and arrowroot cookies. This was my early beginnings in patient interactions.

Shortly after my B.Sc, I was accepted into the Doctor of Dental Surgery program at the University of Alberta.

PAST EMPLOYMENT

I have worked in various jobs, including lawn care, grocery store clerk, car wash attendant, computer repair, web page coding, and selling car parts. I earned everything through hard work and dedication (no silver spoon here).

I have always value people's diverse backgrounds and the different challenges we are individually face. I understand that many factors influence people's dental treatment choices and that everyone experiences different dental challenges at different times in their lives.

IN MY SPARE TIME

I love spending time with my supportive wife. I enjoy cooking, but I like eating even more! Calgary has such a diverse restaurant scene (not good for my diet plans!).

I am the Study Club Chair with the AACA (American Academy of Clear Aligners) Calgary Study Club, where I organize monthly speakers and training for Calgary dentists on Invisalign and orthodontics.

MY FUTURE

My future aspirations include dreaming of becoming an Iron Chef, though I know it's a far-fetched goal.

The emergency of digital dentistry to make peoples dental health better is my primary focus. As part of this, I enjoy mentoring and teaching graduate and dental students.

One day, I hope to build a Mobile Dental Clinic that can serve those who are underserved to provide charitable dental care. It's a work in progress, and I plan to pursue it when I have more time and more grey hair.

I look forward to serving you and your family at either of our locations and making a positive impact on your dental health.
