Meet Our Halifax Team

Dr. Babak Raz

Dr. Raz enjoys all aspects of dentistry with special interests in endodontics, restorative, and implant dentistry. He believes that becoming a dentist has been one of the most rewarding decisions of his life—he’s committed to providing high-quality dental treatment, and developing long-term relationships with all of his patients.

Dr. Raz has been living in Halifax for almost 12 years, and when he’s not at the office or dental school, Dr. Raz can be found spending time with his wife, friends, and family.  He enjoys skiing, playing tennis, photography, hiking, and travelling with his wife, Sahar.

Dr. Chris Uhlman

Dr. Allister Mason

Dr. Mason was born and raised in New Glasgow. A lifelong runner, Allister completed his B.Sc at Dalhousie, during which time he ran on the varsity track & field team. He went on to complete an M.Sc in Medical Physics before transitioning to dentistry where he graduated from Dalhousie Dental School in 2024. Allister then went out west to complete a one-year general practice residency at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. A strong believer in patient centered care, Allister is thrilled to be returning to his home province to practice and bring with him all the lessons he learned in BC! Outside of dentistry, Allister can be found running along the Halifax Waterfront or out on his red canoe with his girlfriend, Clara.
