Dr. Hoda Hosseini, DMD, MDent (Perio), FRCD(C)
Periodontist
Dr. Hosseini is originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She earned her dental degree from the University of Manitoba in 2006 and worked as a general practitioner in both Ottawa and Winnipeg.
In 2008 she combined her passion for traveling with her desire to provide care for the less fortunate, and participated in the Remote Access Program to provide dental care for under-serviced First Nation community in Northern Manitoba. This humbling experience made her realize the true value of patient education. Knowing that by advancing her knowledge she would become a better adviser to her patients, she went back to school in 2009 in order to obtain her Masters of Dentistry in Periodontics & Implant surgery from the University of Manitoba.
Dr. Hosseini is a board certified periodontist and a published author in the field of Peri-implant disease. She practices in full periodontal spectrum with special interests in esthetic and functional rehabilitation using dental implants and reconstructive surgeries.

Dr. Hosseini is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, a Fellow of International Congress of Oral Implantologist, a member of the Canadian and American Academy of Periodontists and Canadian Dental Association.
When not practicing, Dr. Hosseini and her husband enjoy traveling to experience other cultures and meet new people. She enjoys going to the theater and eagerly takes part when provided with the opportunity. In 2013 she happily acted as ‘Mimi’ in the Manitoba Dental Association all-dentist musical production of ‘Guys and Dolls’ and is also a cast member in the 2017 production of ‘Lucky Stiff”.
Dr. Hosseini is dedicated to superior patient care that is founded on clear and open communication with her referring doctors and timely access to care for her patients. She welcomes your referrals and appreciates the opportunity to work with you in improving your patient’s oral health and healthy smile.
