Dr. Reem Salam is a trailblazer in modern dentistry, blending a multicultural upbringing with cutting-edge expertise to craft healthy, radiant smiles. Born in Baghdad and raised in Kuala Lumpur, her early exposure to diverse cultures instilled a deep appreciation for empathy and adaptability—qualities that now define her practice. She earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Sharjah (UAE) in 2010, then pursued her passion for excellence by relocating to Canada, graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Western Ontario in 2015.
A lifelong learner, Dr. Salam has dedicated her career to mastering advanced orthodontic techniques. After becoming an Invisalign® provider in 2016, she emerged as a leader in clear aligner therapy, combining artistry with precision to deliver transformative results. Her commitment to innovation culminated in 2022 when she earned a prestigious Fellowship with the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA), ranking her among the first 50 dentists in North America to achieve this distinction.
Dr. Salam’s philosophy revolves around building lifelong relationships with her patients. Known for her warm, collaborative approach, she prioritizes transparency, offering tailored treatment plans and empowering individuals to make informed decisions. “Every smile tells a story,” she says. “My role is to guide patients through their journey with honesty, compassion, and the latest evidence-based care.” Beyond technical skill, she cultivates a familial atmosphere in her practice, ensuring patients feel heard, valued, and confident in their choices.
At home, Dr. Salam shares her passion for dentistry with her husband, Dr. Sahib, a fellow dentist renowned for his expertise in sedation, implants and patient comfort. Together, they nurture their two children, Adam and Maya, fostering curiosity and kindness in their family life. When not designing smiles, Dr. Reem enjoys exploring global cuisines, staying active through yoga, and traveling—a nod to her international roots.
As Dr. Reem and Dr. Sahib prepare to join the Rockwood community, they envision a practice rooted in education, innovation, and genuine connection. For her, dentistry is more than a profession—it’s a gateway to empowering confidence and building lasting bonds within the community.
“A beautiful smile is a universal language. It’s an honor to help my patients find theirs, one aligned step at a time.” – Dr. Reem Salam
Dr. Sahib is a dedicated dental professional whose journey into dentistry began as a personal quest for confidence. After graduating from the University of Al Mustansiriya in 2009, he pursued excellence internationally, earning his National Canadian Dental Board certifications in 2014. Driven by a commitment to lifelong learning, Dr. Sahib continually advances his expertise, holding certifications in nitrous oxide and IV sedation to ensure pain-free, anxiety-reduced experiences for his patients.
His passion for dentistry was ignited during childhood, when frequent visits to correct his own malocclusion revealed the transformative power of oral healthcare. This early exposure shaped his patient-centered philosophy: combining clinical precision with empathy. Renowned for his gentle touch and calming presence, Dr. Sahib prioritizes patient education, empowering individuals to take charge of their oral health while fostering a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Sahib’s life is enriched by family and community. He shares both his home and professional passion with his wife, Dr. Reem Salam, a skilled general dentist specializing in orthodontics and Invisalign®. Together, they nurture their two children, Adam and Maya, instilling the same values of curiosity and care that define their careers. An avid soccer player and fitness enthusiast, Dr. Sahib balances his dedication to dentistry with quality family time and an active lifestyle, believing that vitality in personal life fuels professional fulfillment.
“Dentistry is not just about treating teeth; it’s about understanding people and helping them embrace their health with confidence.” – Dr. Sahib
