Dr. Natasha-Rose Rizk
Dr. Natasha-Rose Rizk grew passionate for dentistry at a young age by observing her uncles, also dentists. An Ottawa native, Dr. Rizk attended University of Ottawa to study Health Sciences and graduated with Summa Cum Laude distinction in 2013. She then went on to dental school at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. She graduated with Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2017 and was awarded Delta Dental’s Leadership Award. Following graduation, Dr. Rizk practiced as an associate in Virginia and South Carolina. In 2020 she returned home to Ottawa with her husband, Dr. Andrew Denardo and together they established Groove Dental.
As a general dentist, Dr. Rizk thrives to provide high quality dentistry and preventive education to her patients while always valuing their comfort. She is heavily committed to continuing education and expanding the scope of her practice. Her continuing education fields include sleep dentistry, implant dentistry, clear aligner training, digital dentistry and cone beam CT imaging. She is a proud member of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, Ontario Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry and Ottawa Dental Society. Dr. Rizk has participated in many charitable events such as Dentistry from the Heart, Give Kids a Smile and Aspen Dental’s Day of Service to give back to those who do not have access to dental care. She is happy to provide care to her patients in English, French and Arabic.
In her spare time, Dr. Rizk loves spending time with her family and friends, travelling, gardening and staying active. Dr. Rizk feels privileged to be able to serve the community where she grew up and soon start a family.

Dr. Andrew Denardo
Dr. Denardo moved to Ottawa in 2020 from South Carolina with his wife Natasha, an Ottawa native. Together they opened Groove Dental in 2022! Dr. Denardo graduated dental school in 2016 from West Virginia University after receiving a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Virginia Tech. While at WVU, he worked with his colleagues to author a literary review entitled The Correlation of Blood Glucose Levels and Health of Periodontium which investigated the link between long term glycemic control in diabetic patients and periodontal disease. Since graduating dental school, Andrew has spent his years honing his skills through study, practice, and attending a wide range of continuing education courses. Placement and restoration of dental implants, sleep dentistry, capturing and interpretation of cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT), and advanced cardiac life support are just some of the areas where he has advanced his skills in order to better help treat his patients. Dr. Denardo loves to use his dental experience to give back to the less fortunate. He has participated multiple times with Dentistry from the Heart, Relay for Life, and Aspen Dental’s Day of Service; where dental services are provided to veterans at no cost. In his free time, Dr. Denardo enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, reading, skiing, running, and listening to podcasts. Andrew and his family are excited to explore everything Ottawa has to offer and can’t wait to give back to this wonderful community!
