Dr. Lawrence Lai
Dentist
Dr. Lawrence Lai obtained his BSc university degree in Microbiology and Immunology in 1995 and Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 2001 at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
Dr Lai is licensed to practice dentistry under the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia and Dental College of Alberta. He is also a member of the BC Dental Association and the Alberta Dental Association. Dr. Lai continues to update his dental training by regularly attending national and international dental conferences and dental courses several times a year. He has completed more than 2000 continuing education hours since his graduation from dental school. He has special interests in dental implant, as well as hard and soft tissue grafting prior to implant surgery. On the other hand, creating beautiful smiles with the latest dental techniques and technology in dentistry also fascinate him. He has been applying the cutting edge Bioclear technique and Invisalign orthodontic treatment to conservatively restore youthful smiles for older patients.
However, his passion for cosmetic and regenerative dentistry is not the main driving force for him to go to work. It is the fulfillment, when he sees his patients’ improvement, mentally and physically, because of his hard work, that gives him the drive for trying his best at work. He looks forward to helping more people enjoy the many benefits of nowadays dentistry can offer.
