Dr. Colin Wiebe received his B.Sc. and Doctor of Dental Surgery Degrees from the University of Alberta. He then completed a hospital residency (GPR) providing dental treatment to medically compromised patients at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon and stayed on as the Acting Director of Hospital Dentistry to cover a maternity leave. After a stint in general dental practice in Williams Lake, BC he spent a summer as a volunteer dentist at the Patan Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal which also gave him a chance to explore and trek in the Himalayan Mountains. After returning to Canada he completed his specialty training in Periodontics and an M.Sc. degree in Dentistry at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Colin then became an assistant professor of dentistry at UBC and was in charge of the periodontics residency program. Colin moved to Calgary in 2001 to enter private specialty practice with Dr. Bryce McDougall but continues to be a part-time clinical assistant professor and teach about two days per month at UBC. At UBC he teaches periodontic, orthodontic and pediatric dentistry residents, supervises surgical procedures and participates in research projects with the periodontal residents. Colin has co-authored over 30 scientific research papers and has presented at research conferences internationally.

Colin has also taught at the PAADI Dental institute in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the University of Helsinki, Finland in addition to more routine lecturing in Calgary and area dental study clubs. Colin was formerly a part-time staff periodontist in the Tom Baker Cancer Centre at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary and also an examiner for the Royal College of Dentists from 2002 to 2013 as part of the certification examinations for new dental specialists in periodontics.
