Dr. Zaid Babahami

Associate Dentist

It is an honor to serve people, to help the community be healthier and happier, and to know the work I do can make a lasting improvement in a person’s life. Oral health is closely tied to bodily wellness and how one feels about one’s smile impacts self-esteem. I want my patients to enjoy all the good things that life offers: a healthy body and a healthy smile!

One of the most rewarding aspects of my profession is the relationships I develop with my patients. Working one-on-one with people, taking my time to listen and learn, and building a trusting relationship, is deeply satisfying. I consider my patients to be my friends and I always provide the same level of attentive, professional care I’d expect for myself and my loved ones.

~ Dr. Zaid Babahami

His gentle touch, and patience, ensure painless care, and he constantly checks on how his patient is feeling.

I recently had a very pleasant experience at Oakville Smiles Dentistry. My son needed a tooth extraction due to an infection, and the procedure went very smoothly, thanks to the Dr. Rupa Bhatt who handled it with utmost care. Additionally, I have been visiting the clinic for regular check-up and cleaning, and had a very friendly experience with the entire staff. Hajira, the coordinator, was amazing in managing the timings, making the entire process convenient and stress-free. I highly recommend Oakville Smiles Dentistry for both routine and urgent dental needs.This has to be the nicest team of professionals working as an excellent team.

Today was my first check up with a dentist in 2+ years. Being self employed I don’t have benefits therefore thankfully qualified for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). I started my session with the dental hygienist Mrs. Pina she was amazing, very polite and did a fantastic cleaning. My teeth feel squeaky clean. I then was greeted my Miss Amira who is the dental assistant and she took all my X-Rays and was very kind and explained everything she was doing and what the dentist would go over with me. Then I was introduced to my dentist Dr. Rupa who has to be the nicest dentist you will ever meet! She did the assessment of my teeth, gums, lymph nodes and tongue. Afterwards we went through my imaging together and she created a care plan for me which was booked out by Miss Hajira who I contacted over phone to book my initial assessment. She was amazing as well! I reached out on a Tuesday and was able to get an appointment the following Monday. Thank you so much again to the entire Oakville Smile Group, you are truly the standard every dental office should strive for! Ps I will be sending over my entire family to your practice.

I had my first visit today, and it was exceptional right from the start. I was immediately greeted by the staff, was such a warm and welcoming first impression. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been to the dentist, and it is one of my least favourite experiences. Dr. Rupa Bhatt and her team made every part of the experience very comfortable. They explained each step, was very knowledgeable and eased my anxieties throughout the appointment. My teeth feel better than ever after my check up and cleaning. I already have my next appointment booked. Highly recommended Dental practice!

Dr. Bhatt is the best dentist I've ever been to. She took so much care to clean and inspect my teeth. She explained everything in detail and has all the great new tech. She is gentle and thorough and really cares about her patients health. I'm so glad I went to Oakville smiles! I generally have not liked the dentist, but this was a great experience. Highly recommend for top tier care.
