Billings Bridge Dental Centre

Hi there! They call me Dr. Shaan. It seems there’s another great dentist here who goes by Dr. Jamshaid. 😉 Yes, he’s my father and favourite mentor.

I graduated first with a Bachelor of Science, Honours in Biopharmaceutical Sciences in 2012 from the University of Ottawa, and then from the University of Toronto with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS), and joined the stellar team at Billings Bridge Dental Centre in 2016. I hold memberships in the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), Ontario Dental Association (ODA) and Ottawa Dental Society (ODS).

Good dentists never stop learning. Technology is continually evolving and we try to take advantage of every opportunity to provide the highest quality of care possible. Ask me about Invisalign, Cerac Crowns, or Implants. I’m here to help you keep a healthy smile for a lifetime.

I see value in helping others through volunteer projects related to our profession, like Oral Health Total Health, Sharing Smiles Day, and Free Dental Day. In my spare time I enjoy soccer and basketball.

Dr. Richard Azzi, Ottawa family dentist, joined our Billings Bride Plaza dental practice in 2006. He offers a broad range of family dentistry procedures to both children and adults in Ottawa, Ontario.

Dr. Azzi holds a Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Universite de Montreal and studied biochemistry as an undergraduate. He is a member of the CDA, ODA and ODS.

Partner at Billings Bridge Dental Centre, Dr. Caius Alin Ivanita joined the group of Ottawa family dentists in 2002. He is an avid adventurer and works with ‘Kindness in Action’, helping to provide family dental treatment to people in remote areas of Central and South America. His most recent trip involved summiting mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak. Dr. Ivanita has a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from McGill University where he concurrently completed a BSc. in Psychology. He practices all aspects of general dentistry from endodontics to dental implants. Dr. Ivanita is a member of the CDA, the ODA, the AGD and the ODS.

Dr. Daniel McAteer was born in Pembroke, Ontario and moved to Ottawa in 1995. He earned his Bachelor of Commerce in International Management degree from the University of Ottawa in 2007. Before pursuing a career in the field of dentistry, he owned and operated quick service restaurants with his family, during which he developed a passion for assisting people. This lead Dr. McAteer to earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Roseman University of Health Science in South Jordan, Utah.

He enjoys focusing on restorative and aesthetic dentistry, as well as connecting with people to help them achieve their oral health goals. Dr. McAteer is a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon – Dental Honors Society, Ontario Dental Association, Canadian Dental Association, Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, and American Dental Association. He loves supporting the American Dental Society’s Give Kids a Smile Program which gives underserved children access to dental care.

When he’s not practicing, Dr. McAteer enjoys snowboarding and snowmobiling in the winter, and water-based activities in the summer. He also loves spending time with his lovely wife and children, typically going on family hikes and exploring new places.

Fun Fact: Dr. McAteer is the second youngest of six kids! He also lived in Costa Rica for two years in the early 2000s, where he was a service missionary and learnt Spanish.
