Dr. Mustafa Esmail
I grew up in Calgary and went from preschool to University of Calgary. My strengths and awards in school were in various science courses and art classes. I have always loved working with my hands. With a passion for wanting to help people and focused on a career in health, I chose to become a Dentist. Upon graduating from the University of Toronto in 1997, I moved back to Calgary. I served as a Dental Associate at various clinics to gain more experience and was lucky to be mentored by exceptional dentists. In 2004, I opened up Rocky Ridge Dental. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and continue to take courses that will make me better at what I do and deliver the best care I can to my patients. I will always take the time to listen to the concerns of my patients and do what I can to make people as comfortable as I can. I am married with three children and love being involved in their activities. I enjoy biking, hiking, watching science fiction, as you can tell from my sliding doors. I also enjoy gardening, painting, and art projects.
I look forward to meeting you and serving your oral health needs. Welcome to Rocky Ridge Dental, where we prioritize our patients' comfort, health, and happiness.
