Invisalign

With Invisalign, the choice is clear

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth that are crowded, protruding, are too far apart, or which don’t bite together properly. Until recently, orthodontic treatment was focused mainly on teenagers and the preferred method was metal train-track braces. Today, about 20% of orthodontic patients are between 20 and 60 years of age!

Dental researchers have produced a revolutionary new technique that has brightened the smiles of thousands of patients. The system is called Invisalign^®, and it’s the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners.

Here’s how it works. During a consultation, we determine if Invisalign is right for you. If it is, we create a treatment plan, take an impression of your teeth, and submit it to Invisalign who translates our instructions into a series of medical-grade plastic aligners. Each one of your comfortable aligners is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them through every stage of your treatment plan.

No more metal mouth means you’ll smile more during treatment and you’ll spend less time in our office having adjustments! Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to avoid and nothing to hide!

We welcome you to call our office to ask questions or to arrange a consultation to discover how Invisalign can help give you the smile you’ve always wanted!

Dr. Paul Dhillon with his family

Originally from India, Dr. Dhillon came to Canada at the age of 13. He received his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Manipal University, India in 2009, then received his National Dental Examination Board of Canada's certification in 2014.

When he was a Certified Dental Assistant, Dr. Dhillon was enthralled by how patients would tell the dentist that their outlook on life had changed because of the care they received. This was the moment he knew he wanted to become a dentist. Delivering an excellent patient experience is important to him, and in every case, he is driven by the end goal. “It’s extremely rewarding when a patient appreciates my work and they have new-found confidence,” he says.

When he’s not using his skills to improve smiles, Dr. Dhillon enjoys working out (and flexing his biceps from time to time!), travelling, and spending quality time with his wife Raman and their three girls. Hawaii is his favourite tropical destination. He regularly gives back by lending his time to provide dental care to those in need.

Dr. Lo was born in Hong Kong and moved to Vancouver at a young age. Having always dreamed of working in healthcare, Dr. Lo completed his BSc in Pharmacology in 2013 and DMD in 2018.

Snider Prize, Dr Bud Sipko Family Fund Scholarship 2016, NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award, UBC Dean's Honour List, President's Entrance Scholarship 2008, UBC Trek Excellence Scholarship.

As a general dentist, Dr. Lo’s main goal is to provide quality care to his patients. He is committed to educating each person in his chair about their oral health and providing solutions in a comfortable environment. He has a passion for oral surgery.

Dr. Lo is a firm believer in evidence-based dentistry, and, in order to provide the best care possible, stays abreast of current literature and technologies. In addition, Dr. Lo likes to give back by regularly volunteering at local dental events and going on multiple mission trips abroad. “I went on a dental mission trip to Jamaica to provide extractions to the underserved population,” he says. As for his favourite pastimes, Dr. Lo enjoys skiing, volleyball, and badminton.
