Dr. Khal

Dentist

Known as “Dr. Khal,” he graduated from the Schulich School of Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario in 2010. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 2007 and served as a dental officer for seven years, working in dental detachment clinics across multiple military bases in Canada.

Dr. Khal focuses on general dentistry, with a particular interest in surgical extractions—especially complex wisdom tooth extractions performed under moderate conscious sedation. He also provides restorative care, including fillings, crowns, and bridges, and is a certified Invisalign and dental implant provider.

Outside the office, Dr. Khal is an avid weightlifter and can often be found at the gym after work. He enjoys traveling with friends and family and is always excited to explore new countries.

Dr. Ali

Dentist

Dr. Ali Nabavieh grew up in London and attended the University of Western Ontario, where he earned an Honours degree in Immunology and Microbiology in 1997. During his undergraduate studies, he contributed to a diabetes research project that was published in a medical journal. He continued his education at the Schulich School of Dentistry, graduating in 2001 and receiving the award for top student in Endodontics (root canal therapy).

After graduating, Dr. Ali began practicing at Southdale Dental Office—initially as an associate, later becoming the practice owner. Interestingly, he joined Southdale because the previous owner had been his own dentist.

Dr. Ali enjoys all aspects of dentistry but has a particular passion for performing root canals to help save patients’ teeth. He is committed to ongoing professional development and is a member of the London District Dental Society, the London Dental Exchange Study Club, and the Ontario Dental Association.

Outside the office, Dr. Ali enjoys playing both indoor and outdoor soccer and spending quality time with his family.
