Dr. Salimah Dhanji
Doctor
Dr. Salimah Dhanji developed an appreciation for dentistry at a very early age. Following a car accident that resulted in her father having to undergo extensive dental care, Dr. Dhanji watched in admiration as the doctor attentively treated her father, alleviating his pain, and giving him a new smile. It was then that she became inspired to become a dentist.
Originally from Vancouver BC, Dr. Dhanji graduated with honours from the University of Waterloo, where she majored in Biomedical Sciences and minored in Biochemistry. Her aspiration for dentistry led her to the rich and historical city of Boston, where she successfully earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the prestigious Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
During her studies, Dr. Dhanji participated in an externship program where she worked with underprivileged patients at a community health centre. This experience enabled her to gain a profound insight into the intricacies and precision of the dental profession.
Dr. Dhanji continued her education through a postdoctoral Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program in Billings, Montana. Through this residency, Dr. Dhanji’s skills were honed further by treating medically compromised and dentally complex patients, earning her Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies from Lutheran Medical Center. Dr. Dhanji’s patients often praise her caring and professional personality, her ability to comfort by providing helpful answers on dental health, and her empathetic nature.
Dr. Dhanji continues to build on her dental knowledge and improve her skills through continuing education courses. She has completed the CEREC course on digital crowns, as well as Dr. Rondeau’s 4 Level Seminars that focus on Early Orthodontic Treatment, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, and Sleep Dentistry. Dr. Dhanji is also a member of the Calgary and District Dental Society and has completed a two-year fellowship in orthodontic treatment with the Academy of GP Orthodontics. Currently, Dr. Dhanji is taking a mini residency in dental implants.
When Dr. Dhanji is not busy treating patients, she enjoys travelling, shopping, crafting, and spending time with friends and family. She fosters a secret love for reality television shows, with her favorites being The X-Factor and The Voice.
Dr. Dhanji looks forward to meeting you soon!
Dental Hygiene
Dental Cleaning Near You: A Fresh Start for Your Teeth You don’t have to love going to the dentist to love how it feels after a good cleaning. Whether you’re on track with your visits or haven’t been in a while, a hygiene appointment…
Gum Grafting
When gums start to recede, the roots don’t stay hidden. Sometimes it’s just one spot near the front. Other times it’s a whole section that looks longer than it used to. The root shows up, brushing feels sharp, and you notice cold foods hit…
Oral Cancer Screening
Some things are easy to miss if you’re not looking for them. Oral cancer doesn’t always come with pain. Sometimes it’s just a patch that doesn’t go away. A sore that feels slow to heal. A spot you keep biting accidentally. You might not…
Sealants
Dental sealants protect the grooves in your teeth where toothbrushes can’t always reach. Even if you brush twice a day, some parts of your teeth are just tough to clean—especially those back molars. They’re full of deep grooves where food and bacteria love to…
Extractions
When a tooth can’t be saved, removal becomes part of the healing. It’s not the conversation anyone wants to have. You sit down expecting a plan—a filling, a crown, something that keeps everything in place. And then your dentist says, “It’s time to take…
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental care when it matters most. Toothaches don’t wait for office hours—and neither do we. There’s nothing like mouth pain to throw off your day. Maybe it’s a sudden ache, a chipped tooth, or swelling that came out of nowhere. When something’s wrong,…
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges help bring things back to normal—one tooth at a time. When you’re missing a tooth, you feel it every day—when you eat, when you speak, when you catch your smile in the mirror. It’s not just a cosmetic thing. It’s personal. A…
Dental Implants
Dental Implants Near You: A Long-Term Solution | Costs & Services Dental implants may be the best way to replace missing teeth because implants look much like natural teeth. Once the artificial replacement teeth are in, they function like your own natural teeth, allowing…
Fillings
When teeth break down, we help you build back up. A chipped tooth, a missing filling, something just not feeling right. It might seem small, but it changes how you eat, how you talk—how you carry yourself. You start chewing on one side. Dodging…
Dentures
Dentures can help you eat, smile, and speak with confidence again. There’s a quiet kind of frustration that comes with missing teeth. Maybe you chew on one side. Maybe you’ve stopped ordering certain meals. Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself when you smile….
Crowns
When a tooth needs backup, a crown can step in. Teeth don’t always break all at once. It could be a crack you barely notice, a corner that’s worn down, or a filling that’s been redone too many times. Whatever the reason, a crown…
Root Canal Therapy
A sore tooth doesn’t have to mean losing it. When a deep ache won’t go away, it’s easy to assume the worst. Maybe you’ve been avoiding certain foods. Maybe the pain wakes you up. But the truth is—even when things feel serious, your tooth…
Veneers & Lumineers
Veneers and Lumineers offer change—without starting from scratch. Some people want to fix one tooth. Others want their whole smile to feel more balanced. Maybe there’s a chip that never quite blended in. Or a few spots that don’t respond to whitening, no matter…
Teeth Whitening
Want a brighter smile? Teeth whitening treatments can help—with options for every lifestyle. Stains build slowly. You don’t always notice them until one day your smile feels… dull. Less white than you remember. Less like you. Coffee, red wine, aging—they all play a role….
Traditional Orthodontics
A tried-and-true method—because it works. Some teeth need more than a nudge. They need something steady. Something you can rely on. That’s where traditional braces come in. They’ve stood the test of time for a reason. With the right plan, braces can shift even…
TMJ / TMD Treatment
When your jaw’s out of sync, it drags everything with it. You start your day with a sore face and a tight neck. Maybe you’re grinding in your sleep. Maybe you don’t even realize it—until your jaw locks up halfway through a yawn. TMJ…
Oral Surgery
Some problems go deeper—and need a surgical solution. Maybe you’ve got a tooth that won’t budge. Or an issue under the surface that’s been causing pain for far too long. Whatever the reason, oral surgery can be the next step toward comfort, function, and…
X-Rays (Digital)
Digital X-rays give us the full picture. You can’t always see what’s happening inside a tooth—and sometimes, there’s no pain to warn you. Things like decay, infection, or bone loss can develop quietly. A quick scan helps catch them early. Digital X-rays are fast…
Intraoral Camera
It’s your mouth. You deserve to see what’s going on inside. Dentistry used to be a bit of a mystery—your provider would check something, say a few things you couldn’t quite hear, and then make a recommendation. Intraoral cameras change that. Now, you can…
