Our Professionals
| Dr. Ball was drawn to dentistry through a genuine love for working with his hands. As a young child model building held a keen interest for Don. As well, through the need for braces as a teen, Don’s orthodontist provided enough intrigue to set a life course for Don in dentistry. Dr. Ball is a graduate of Life Sciences at Queen’s University in Kingston and earned his dental degree from the University of Western Ontario in London graduating in 1983. Since graduating Western, every 5 years the “Dents ’83” have the highest turnout for homecoming reunions per graduating classes. Initially starting off his career as part of a Tridont Office, Don and his partners grew their practice to what is now, the present day, Innes Dental Health Group. Don willingly exceeds his required hours of Continuing Education every year and is constantly striving to improve patient care with both current dental technologies and best care practices. Don is an avid mountain biker, windsurfer and skier. Don shares his life with his wife Mary-Anne and their two grown children, Steven and Sarah. The newest member of the Ball clan is their lovely and very loving Golden, “Sadie”. Sadie has taken-well to bike runs and loves participating in the Run for the Cure. |

Dr. Noshin Valadi
| Eager to help everyone get a beautiful and healthy smile, Dr. Noshin Valadi joined the team at Innes Dental Health Group in 2008. Noshin graduated from a University in Tehran with honors and received her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1999. In May 1999, Dr. Valadi took an academic qualifying program at the University of Toronto and graduated with honors in 2003. It was a love of both art and science that drove Dr. Valadi to become a dentist. “I love dentistry” Noshin says. “It’s a science but at the same time it is artwork.” She has a strong track record in research, having earned awards for her work. She worked as a research assistant at the University of Toronto and won the award for best research project topic in the 39th International Dental Congress of Iran. To continue to advance her practice, Noshin attends courses at the Pankey Institute in Miami, Florida, a world renowned continuing dental education centre which advocates comprehensive patient- centered dentistry. Although a dentist, Noshin is a patient too. She understands why dentistry can intimidate people. Her goal is to communicate with her patients and ease their fears. Noshin is able to converse in both English and French and is also fluent in Persian. During her time off she enjoys oil painting, creating clay sculptures, fitness, beading and the Twilight saga. She enjoys working with both the staff and patients at the clinic, describing everyone as easy-going and very friendly. Noshin feels it is wonderful to be able to work with her mentor Dr. Raymond Oneson within the same practice. Dr. Valadi is currently accepting new patients. She is available Mondays from 9 am to 5 pm and Fridays from 8 am to 2 pm |
