Local care, global expertise

The Kitsilano implant process

1) Local consultation
We map out your goals and review imaging to plan the most predictable path to a natural result.

2) Gentle implant placement
Precision placement with comfort-focused technique. If you need a stronger foundation, we may recommend bone or soft-tissue grafting.

“Ridge preservation and careful stabilization can prepare the site for predictable implant placement.” — Case Summary (download summary)

3) Healing & neighborhood follow-ups
Short, simple check-ins at our Kitsilano studio keep you on track.

4) Custom crown
A final crown that blends with your smile—color, shape, and shine.


Kits patient story

A Kits resident struggled with a failing bridge. Dr. Cheng replaced it with a single implant and a custom crown. The tooth looks like it’s always been there, and all appointments were a few minutes from home.

Kitsilano Dental Implant FAQs

Can I complete the entire treatment in Kitsilano?


Yes. From consult to crown, everything is done locally at our Kits studio.

What if I’ve been told implants aren’t possible?


We often help patients who were previously told “no,” using techniques such as guided regeneration and soft-tissue contouring.

How soon can I eat normally?


Soft foods are fine right away; full chewing strength returns after healing and restoration.

Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?


Ask our team about current availability—we aim to make scheduling easy for Kits residents.

Is parking or transit convenient?


Yes—near West 4th and Kits Beach, with options for street parking and transit access.
