Dr Ghassan El-Onsi
Focused on Wisdom Teeth Removal & Implants with a Personal Touch
About Dr G
Dr. Ghassan El-Onsi is a General Dentist who has chosen to limit his practice to a select number of procedures — with a special focus on wisdom tooth removal and dental implants.
His journey began with a BSc in Microbiology and Immunology at McGill University. He started dental school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (where football is practically a religion!) and eventually returned home to complete his dental degree at McGill in 1998. After graduation, he completed a General Practice Residency at the Montreal General Hospital, gaining exposure to all areas of dentistry — and discovering a passion for surgical care.
What draws Dr. El-Onsi to wisdom tooth removal comes down to two key aspects:
Physics & Mechanics: With a natural love of mechanics, he finds wisdom tooth extraction to be a highly technical process — applying the right force in the right direction, with the right fulcrum. It’s precise, strategic, and deeply satisfying work.
Helping Patients Feel at Ease: Wisdom tooth surgery is often among the most anxiety-inducing experiences in dentistry, and Dr. El-Onsi takes pride in helping patients move from nervous or fearful to calm and confident. Guiding someone through an experience they dreaded — and seeing them walk out relieved and comfortable — is incredibly rewarding.
His passion for dental implants stems from the transformative impact they have on patients’ lives. Placing implants combines surgical precision with meaningful human outcomes — restoring function, confidence, and joy. He especially enjoys using advanced technology to achieve exceptional results. Helping someone smile, chew, and enjoy food again — particularly in full-mouth cases where they’ve struggled for years — never gets old.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. El-Onsi has been teaching at McGill University for over 25 years. He considers it a privilege to help shape how future dentists approach surgery, fostering not just their technical skills, but also their confidence, care, and mindset.
Patients considering wisdom tooth removal or dental implants are welcome to book a consultation with Dr. El-Onsi. His goal is always to ensure they feel comfortable, informed, and well cared for.
