Hi, I am Dr. Annem Wallace. I graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Indian University in the year 2009. After working in India for 2 years as a dentist, I moved to Vancouver, BC. I decided to pursue dentistry in Canada and graduated from UBC Dentistry with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine in the year 2014. I have been practicing as a dentist... in Canada since then. Additionally, I completed internships in Oral Surgery from UNC Adams School of Dentistry and NYU College of Dentistry. These internships provided me with advanced training in dentistry, including oral surgery, anesthesia, and treatment of medically compromised patients. I am a member of BCDA, BCCOHP, and the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry.
I am committed to learning and excellence. I spend a lot of my time traveling to participate in continuing education courses and study clubs to keep myself up to date with the latest advances in Dentistry and constantly upgrade my knowledge and skills. I feel it is the best way to ensure that I am providing the best care available to all my patients. I am an active member of Spear Education, which is an evidence-based teaching center with the latest advances in esthetics, implants, and restorative dentistry.
I have completed an orthodontic residency with Rondeau Seminars. The latest research and advances in Orthodontics are incorporated into their teaching model. I have successfully completed advanced-level implant dentistry courses with CEJ Academy and Bites Institute. I am well-trained and experienced in Digital Smile Design for worn dentition treatment. To deliver the best dental treatment, I use the latest technology from Dentsply Sirona, which is one of the best and most advanced dental technology companies in the world. I really enjoy being a dentist and love to be deeply involved with patients to understand their needs. I provide multidisciplinary treatment options to provide the best results.
I love hiking around the North Shore. In my free time, I like to go for bike rides with my husband and 2-year-old son. My family and I really enjoy sailing and watersports. Our little one keeps us busy as well and is full of energy.
