Dr. Rakan Baaj
DDS, MSc, PhD, Cert. Prostho, FRCD(c)
Dr. Rakan Baaj is a board certified prosthodontist. He is a proud member of the American College of Prosthodontics and a fellow of the Royal College of surgeons of Canada. Dr. Rakan Baaj earned his Master’s in dental sciences and completed a prosthodontics residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, USA. He obtained his PhD from the University of Rutgers, USA. He has both clinical and academic research experience in the field of prosthodontics as well as international speaker experience. Dr. Baaj is an associate of dentistry as he teaches in the University of Toronto. He is a peer reviewer of few prestigious Journals in his field.
A major part of Dr. Baaj’s everyday work, as a prosthodontist, is related to cosmetics and restorative dentistry. Whether it is a single restoration or a more extensive rehabilitation using dental implants and advanced digital dentistry, there is always a common denominator: the artificial components have to blend harmoniously with the surrounding oral environment. In everyday practice, prosthodontics and cosmetics go hand in hand. Any procedure prescribed to a patient, by Dr. Rakan Baaj, not only has to be functional and comfortable but it also has to faithfully reproduce form and aesthetics.
