Liam AndersonA person’s smile says a lot about them. Unless you have a crooked, chipped, or missing tooth, that fear of being judged becomes all too real.
Thank God for implants.
But when a relative of mine had to get one, they told me way too many terror stories: implants that fall off within months, people ending up with bloody gums for days, and dentists more interested in profits than patient well-being.
It’s cases like these that led me to look into dental clinics that are successful at preventing dental implant woes—in case I ever find myself needing one.
So to bring you the best, I got help from the rest of the Waterview Vancouver team in checking out various dental clinics. Here’s who we’d trust with our smiles.
How much does it cost to get dental implants in Vancouver?
It costs at least 4,000 CAD to get dental implants in Vancouver.
The actual cost will depend on whether you need any bone grafting, the implant brand, and more.

Patiently answering all my questions and explaining everything clearly
“I cannot recommend Dr. Norouzi’s office enough! I had gum grafting and crown lengthening done last month, and the entire process was smooth and seamless.
The front desk and doctor’s assistant were professional and welcoming, and Dr. Norouzi was thorough, patiently answering all my questions and explaining everything clearly. I opted not to receive sedation and was impressed by the doctor’s speed, expertise, and the confidence they instilled throughout the procedures.
The healing process was much easier than I expected—no pain, no bruising, and only slight swelling. Their clear aftercare instructions and follow-up support made a huge difference.
I truly appreciate the great care and outstanding results!”
Exceptionally skilled and compassionate
“Dr. Mehdi Noroozi is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate implant specialist. After two unsuccessful gum bone grafts with other doctor that left me with significant swelling, my experience with Dr. Noroozi was completely different.
His surgical process was incredibly efficient, minimizing both pain and discomfort. The results were excellent, showcasing his high level of expertise and thoughtful approach to patient care. He truly understands the emotions of his patients and even adjusted some costs when reasonable, which I greatly appreciated.
Additionally, the clinic’s organization is top-notch; I never had to wait long for my appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Noroozi to anyone in need of dental implants. Thank you for such a positive experience!”
2. Lighthouse Dental & Implant Center Vancouver
Address: 1055 W Broadway #101
Contact Details: +1 604-900-8573
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 10 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 4 PM
Lighthouse Dental & Implant Centre impressed us with their all-in-one approach, handling everything from the initial consult to the final restoration.
But what stood out the most was their use of advanced technology, like cone beam CT scanners. This led to incredibly detailed treatment plans and impressive results. Patients we spoke to mentioned shorter recovery times and fantastic results.
We also loved the variety of implant options they offer. The single dental implant crowns were a highlight for us— they looked and functioned like a natural tooth, with the bonus of helping preserve bone.
However, we weren’t fully convinced about their long-term durability; people complained about them feeling a little loose.
The full fixed arch implant, though, was a winner for those seeking long-term solutions. It provides a complete, permanent set of teeth that are both chip and stain-resistant.
Their multi-implant bridge was another standout. It offers a permanent, strong solution that left many patients feeling more confident when smiling and eating.

Contact Details: +1 604-438-1555
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 9 AM to 7 PM
- Friday and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM
We were really impressed by the wide range of implant solutions Parkview Dental and Implant Centre offers. Whether you’re looking for a single tooth replacement or a full set, they’ve got you covered with options that suit different needs and preferences.
Their expertise in All-on-4 and All-on-X implants is particularly impressive. These advanced treatments remove the need for a full set of dental implants. They’re also less invasive than traditional methods, leading to faster surgery.
Additionally, we appreciate that they don’t rely on stubborn denture adhesives. This allows many patients to easily remove their implants for easy cleaning.
We were also impressed by the dental surgeons’ skill and knowledge and willingness to address any concerns. Patients said the surgeons ensured they felt informed and at ease throughout the process.
However, we found the extensive forms to be a drawback for some patients, especially those new to the implant process. The amount of forms to fill out could be a bit overwhelming.
99% painless!
“Simply the best!! Dr. Ayoughi is a very skilled surgeon. I never expected my implant procedure to be 99%painless! Excellent staff and customer service. Highly recommended. You will not regret it.”

4. BC Perio
Address: 777 W Broadway suite 501
Contact Details: +1 604-872-0222
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4 PM
BC Perio’s dental implant services stood out to us for their commitment to using authentic Nobel Biocare restorations. These implants are known for their top-notch quality and durability and are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Their endosteal implants are a popular choice, and for good reason. They’re designed for excellent stability and longevity, making them a reliable option for many.
We also liked their mini dental implants (MDIs), a great alternative for patients who have experienced some bone loss. The patients we spoke to who chose MDIs mentioned how quick and painless their healing process was—definitely a highlight.
Another aspect we appreciated was how clearly their dental surgeons explained procedures. It was clear to us that they have a genuine desire to help their patients achieve the best possible results.
Patients also praised the personalized attention they received, which made them feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Unfortunately, a few patients reported issues with scheduling follow-up appointments.
I am very satisfied with the care and attention
“In the process of having 2 implants done, I am very satisfied with the care and attention I have received, absolutely seamless and professional. Thank you Dr. Bridger and Lyndsey. Highly recommend BC Perio.”

Address: 1200 Burrard St #601
Contact Details: +1 604-683-2483
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 8 AM to 4 PM
The Lowe Centre for Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry makes the entire dental implant process simple and efficient by handling everything under one roof. We loved the convenience of working with the same trusted team from start to finish.
Many patients we talked to also appreciated not having to visit different specialists and getting to know everyone involved in the process.
We were impressed by their use of titanium implants, a material known for its durability and biocompatibility. However, we did find them prone to staining, which is something to consider for long-term care.
Despite that, we were really impressed by the center’s commitment to using the latest technology, including its cone beam CT scanner.
Their technology allows for precision planning that ensures optimal results, which is exactly what we want to hear when it comes to dental implants.
Plus, the procedure went smoothly for many of the patients we talked to, and the results were fantastic.
They turned out better than I could have ever hoped for
“I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lowe. I had my front four teeth (one implant) replaced and they turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. His team were incredibly helpful and accommodating and ensured I was able to look my best in time for my wedding. Highly recommended!”
–Peter J, Google Reviews
I know I’ve made the right decision
“Dr.Lowe goes above and beyond for his patients. I was always insecure about my smile and I know I’ve made the right decision by picking Dr. Lowe and his team for my dental work. If you’re looking to get an implant or veneers done I highly recommend putting your trust into Dr. Lowe.”

Vancouver Dental Specialty Clinic’s implant work really caught our attention. After seeing their online gallery, we were amazed by how lifelike the results were—the smiles looked so natural, you’d swear they were real teeth!
We loved how their dental surgeons took the time to explain everything in detail during our undercover consultation. They put us at ease and answered all our questions in a way we could actually understand.
Patients we talked to also raved about how surprisingly comfortable the procedure was. They use advanced techniques to minimize discomfort, which really showed in the feedback their patients had.
Even more impressive, the healing process is much faster than expected. Some of the patients gushed about getting back to their regular routine in no time.
That said, we did find the cost of their implants to be a bit higher compared to other clinics in the area.
I was given detailed instructions about what to do before and after
“I had the dental implant surgery two weeks ago and everything went well. Both Dr Noroozi and Dr Zaeimdar were very patient to answer my questions and highly skilled to provide great dental care. Other staff were also friendly. I was given detailed instructions about what to do before and after the surgery.”
