ALTIMA DENTAL FOUNDERS

George Christodoulou, DDS, FAGD, MBA, President & Co-CEO

Dr. George is a graduate of the University of Toronto Dental School (DDS), and the Rotman School of Management (MBA). He earned a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry in 2003 and has been practicing in the greater Toronto area for over 20 years. In 2007, Dr. George was presented with the Arbor Award for outstanding voluntary service to the University of Toronto.

As one of the two co-founders of Altima Dental Canada, Canada’s largest dental group practice, Dr. George has created a team of more than 325 dental professionals and support staff practicing from more than 27 locations across Ontario and Alberta. Altima’s clinical teams are supported by a talented group of individuals who specialize in specific organizational and business skills such as operations management, marketing and communications, human resources and accounting.

Dr. George believes that delivering excellent patient care should be the goal of every dental practitioner. He further believes that dentists and their support teams should direct their energy upon improving their clinical skills through continuing education on all aspects of and advances in dentistry. Altima’s dental teams are encouraged and rewarded for participating in continuing education programs as well as personal and professional development.

Dr. Sven Grail, DMD, MBA, FAGD, Chairman & Co-CEO

Dr. Grail is a graduate of Boston University’s Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs. He earned a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry and has been practicing in the greater Toronto area for over 15 years.

As one of the two co-founders of Altima Dental Canada, Canada’s largest dental group practice, Dr. Grail has created a team of more than 325 dental professionals and support staff practicing from more than 27 locations across Ontario and Alberta. Altima’s clinical teams are supported by a talented group of individuals who specialize in specific organizational and business skills such as operations management, marketing and communications, human resources and accounting.

Dr. Grail is committed to numerous organizations in North America serving the community in dentistry, charitable assistance and the arts. He has co-established the Altima Dental Student Services Centre for the University of Toronto to assist students, and has worked with Boston University’s Dr. S. Perlman to provide dental care for severely disabled children and young adults.

Dr. Grail’s extensive operational and clinical background in dentistry has allowed him to remain current with the crucial issues facing the profession today. Some of his past voluntary positions include the Board of Governors for the Ontario Dental Association (ODA), chairman of Senior Services for the North York chapter of the Canadian Red Cross and Member of the Legal and Legislative Committee of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO).
