Meet the team

Keith is known for his excellent technical ability and skill at putting patients at ease with his good-natured personality.

Dr. Keith was born and raised in Vancouver, and graduated from the University of British Columbia after achieving his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry in 2003. He practiced for five years in Squamish before moving his practice to Maple Ridge in 2007. Dr. Keith works well with patients of all ages, and along with his doctorate, was awarded the Top Pediatric Student Dentist. He is committed to growing in his dental knowledge and skills and participates in several study clubs.

Keith enjoys light-hearted competition, whether he’s cheering for the Canucks with a group of friends, or playing a good game of Scrabble. He and his wife love doing life with their two children and vacationing on Salt Spring Island.

You can also book appointments with Dr. Keith at Blundell Dental in Richmond, BC.

Dr. Jason is known for his caring approach, a gentle technique and an eye for esthetics. He is always current with the latest evidence-based knowledge and technology and regularly participates in continuing dental education, including implant surgery, full mouth rehabilitation and orthodontics.

Dr. Jason graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry in 2002. He also completed an advanced program in orthodontics from the Faculty of Orthodontic Research and Continuing Education in 2009. He currently has two practices that he runs with his brother, Dr. Keith Dinglasan, Maple Meadows Dental in Maple Ridge and Blundell Dental in Richmond.

When he is not working at these two busy practices, Jason enjoys his downtime with his beautiful wife and 2 wonderful young sons.

After graduating from the University of British Columbia in 2012, Dr. V spent several years practicing in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Our search for just the right associate - one with an easy-going personality as well as great clinical skills - coincided with Jorell's desire to return to this area, and we were excited to have him join our team in September, 2015. He immediately had a great rapport with patients of all ages and after several years, as the practice grew, he had the opportunity to become a partner in the company. We’re happy to have him in this ongoing role in the practice!

When he's not working, Jorell likes a plethora of activities including cooking, photography, and challenging the slopes in any season, hiking or snowboarding. He favours Earnest Ice Cream's Maple Walnut, and always enjoys the company and conversation with good friends. Jorell has been a Canucks fan for as long as he can remember, and says that was a daunting proposition while living in northern Alberta - one more good reason to be back in the greater Vancouver area!

Nour graduated from the University of Montreal in 2012 and completed a General Practice Residency in Bronx, NY the following year. She has since worked in private practice in New York, Montreal and Vancouver . She has also had the opportunity to travel to remote communities in Northern Quebec and Nunavut to deliver dental care to vulnerable populations. Working with such diverse communities has opened her eyes to common challenges in dentistry and her desire to get involved has led her to pursue a part-time Masters in Health Administration at UBC. The focus of her Masters is to address inequities in access to dental care in BC. She is passionate about her work and loves getting to know her patients. She stays current by attending continuing education courses and is part of a prosthodontic study club. She is fluent in English, French and Arabic.

Amro grew up in Edmonton AB, where he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alberta. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree with distinction in the areas of biological and physical sciences. He then attended the University of British Columbia, where he obtained his dental degree. It was during his dental school education when he decided to pursue subspecialty training in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. His desire to further his education led him to New York City, where he spent 4 years developing his skills at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

At Montefiore, Dr. Foda practiced a full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery including dentoalveolar surgery (dental extractions, biopsies, alveoloplasty etc.), orthognathic surgery, dental implant reconstruction, management of maxillofacial trauma, TMJ surgery, pre- prosthetic surgery, bone graft reconstruction, and management of severe odontogenic infections. He also participated in various off- service rotations including internal medicine, general surgery, anesthesia, surgical intensive care, emergency medicine, otorhinolaryngology, and plastic surgery. He is also proficient in the safe delivery of outpatient intravenous deep sedation.

After completing his residency, he subsequently completed the National Dental Specialty Examination of Canada in his field. Although he greatly enjoyed his time in New York City, his love for Canada brought him back to the west coast. He is currently working in private practice and maintains part-time affiliations with UBCH/VGH as a surgical assistant. In his spare time, Dr. Foda enjoys travelling, playing the guitar and drums, playing soccer, snowboarding and trail biking.

Sarah joined us as a receptionist in August, 2018, after completing the Dental Admin course at Ridge Meadows College. When she’s not at work, Sarah loves hanging out with friends, family, and her Biewer Terrier, Bentley. She also enjoys drawing and writing, or a good Netflix binge of Grey’s Anatomy.

Natasha is our newest receptionist and is a great fit for our team. Her friendly smile will quickly put you at ease as she works to help you navigate appointments, benefit plans and all things admin.

Kelsey graduated as a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) in 2012, and joined our team in 2013. She has also completed her Canadian Dental Anaesthesia Assistant Certification to allow her to assist our associate oral surgeon. Kelsey’s favourite ways to spend her spare time include hiking, board games and cuddling with her two cats.

Denise has been a Certified Dental Assistant since the early 1990’s and works full-time. Somehow, she still manages to schedule all of the other things she enjoys, like long walks, canning, photography, and cooking for large family gatherings. Denise loves the people in her life, as well as her awesome cat and a crazy fun puppy named Winston.

Anum is an excellent Certified Dental Assistant for our busy office - proficient, calm and friendly. She has been on our team since 2021, and is currently busy with continuing her education to become a dental hygienist.

Bibhu started working with us just a day or two a week in September 2020. His friendly, calm personality made him a great addition to our team - and in 2023, we were very happy when he was able to take on a full-time schedule! He took his hygiene training in Toronto, but originating from India, he still prefers cricket to hockey. When he has downtime, Bi enjoys listening to music, sketching and painting.
