An Ottawa man is facing charges after police say he impersonated a dentist.

Officers say 29-year-old Omar Anwar worked at two different dental clinics in the city and portrayed himself as a dentist online.

He's accused of taking someone else's university credentials and changing the name on them.

Investigators want to speak with anyone Anwar may have treated.
