SAMI ISSA-TASSE wants to change the way people think about dentistry.

As owner of The Beautiful Tooth Company, Issa-Tasse has dedicated her career to reshaping the way people view oral health. Since opening her clinic in 2019, she has emphasized accessibility, education and a preventative approach to dentistry.

“My goal is to help people and make dental care less intimidating,” says Issa-Tasse.

“Preventative care and disease-prevention are at the heart of what we do. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and improving oral health enhances overall wellness.”

Issa-Tasse’s determination is evident in her constant pursuit of professional growth. From completing advanced courses at the University of Alberta and McGill University to introducing cutting-edge airflow technology to Airdrie, she ensures her patients receive the best possible care.

She also offers tailored services at reduced fees and accepts all government dental plans to make care accessible for everyone.

Beyond her clinic, Issa-Tasse is deeply connected to the community, supporting local fundraisers and fostering collaborative relationships with other dental offices to meet her patients’ needs comprehensively.

“Sami has amazing determination when it comes to advocating for better health and dental care for her patients and community,” says nominator Suzannah Weld. “She is passionate in educating and empowering her patients on taking better care of their oral health and overall wellness.”
