You're Here Because You Need a Solution
You're missing one or more teeth and it's affecting how you eat, speak, and smile. You want a permanent solution that looks and feels natural, not removable dentures.
Here's What We Do
We place titanium implant posts surgically into your jawbone that fuse with the bone through osseointegration over 3-6 months. Once healed, we attach an abutment (connector piece) and a custom crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly in colour, shape, and size. The complete process takes 4-6 months total across 3-4 appointments: initial consultation with 3D imaging to assess bone density, implant placement surgery under local anaesthetic, healing period (3-6 months for bone fusion), and final crown placement. Implants function exactly like natural teeth with no dietary restrictions, bite into apples, chew steak, eat corn on the cob. They prevent bone loss that occurs with missing teeth and preserve your facial structure. Success rate: 98% with proper care. Dr. Lok has 44 years of experience placing dental implants.
The Cost of Waiting
Multiple replacements later: $10,000+. Implant per tooth: $3,000-$6,000. Adjacent teeth shift into gap, causing bite misalignment and requiring orthodontic correction. Jawbone deteriorates without tooth root stimulation, making future implants more difficult and expensive (may require bone grafting at $500-$3,000 additional). Bone loss accelerates facial aging and causes sunken appearance. Difficulty eating leads to poor nutrition and digestive issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
We have a 98% success rate with dental implants. Dr. Lok has 44 years of experience placing implants and uses advanced 3D imaging for precise placement. Most failures occur due to smoking or poor oral hygiene, both preventable with proper care.
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates. We assess your bone density, gum health, and medical history during your initial consultation. If you lack sufficient bone, we can perform bone grafting to make implants possible.
CDCP does not cover dental implants as they are excluded from the plan. Most private insurance offers partial coverage. We verify your coverage before treatment and provide a detailed cost estimate so you know exactly what you'll pay.
Absolutely. We want you to feel confident in your decision. Bring any X-rays or treatment plans from other dentists and we'll review them with you at no charge. Dr. Lok has 44 years of experience and will provide an honest assessment.
Implants last 20+ years, often a lifetime. Bridges last 10-15 years and dentures need replacement every 5-10 years. While implants cost more upfront, they're more cost-effective long-term and preserve your jawbone.
