About Me

Dr Omar Yaqoob

Specialist Orthodontist

After many years of working in the speciality, I can share my passion for what I do. I love meeting people, creating healthy and beautiful smiles, and helping people feel good about themselves. I have treated so many patients who initially tell me that they don’t smile, or always cover their mouths when they do, because they don’t like how their teeth look. It’s so fulfilling, after brace treatment, to hear those same patients say that they now feel more confident, not just in their smiles, but also in themselves. I have treated thousands of wonderful children and adults, helping them transform their teeth and smiles. I can’t wait to help you discover your smile!
