For some time, Peter had his own practice at Pleasant Boulevard Dentistry. However, he and his staff have recently joined forces with us to form a larger team--providing us with a broadened range of skills and services. Peter first became associated with Anaesthesia Associates in 1995, co-incident with the arrival of the Toronto Raptors (he is the team dentist). We are thrilled with the new arrangement...as is Peter.
Peter Nkansah received his dental degree from the University of Toronto. After completing a dental internship at Toronto Western Hospital, Peter returned to the University of Toronto for his diploma in Dental Anaesthesia. He is one of only 40 dentist-anaesthesiologists in Canada. Peter is also a Fellow of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. His patients consist largely of dentally anxious, medically compromised and mentally handicapped persons.
He is a Past President of the Ontario Dental Society of Anaesthesiology, and the current President of the Canadian Academy of Dental Anaesthesia.
