We are the FIRST and ONLY periodontist group to employ the iTERO digital technology in Greater Vancouver for the planning and delivery of dental implants, and its subsequent restorations. The precision of this digital scanner allows us to place implants more accurately, and fabricate restorations in a more functional and esthetic manner, than with tradition registration techniques.

Our Metro Vancouver Implant Study Club resumes JUNE 5th, 530pm at the Sheraton Hotel. Due to the popularity of Dr. Kim's program we have an extensive waiting list. Therefore no new members are being accepted until Spring 2013.
JUNE 12th session will be ran by Shanto Dental Laboratories as Dr. Kim is not available.
