Dental Implants

Dr. Tam is now certified by the Royal College of Dentistry to perfom dental implant surgery.


Missing teeth adversely effect your well-being. It can lead to the loss of chewing ability and eating pleasure, loss of other teeth, tipping, and crowding. Replacing missing teeth, therefore, is important to your general health and the health of your remaining teeth. In the past, bridges and dentures were the only available options to replace a missing tooth. Modern dentistry offers another alternative---dental implants. This is by far superior to other alternatives for teeth replacement.
