BC Perio Dental Health and Implant Centre

Who We Are

Dr. Bobby Birdi, with the help of his colleagues, founded the BC Perio Dental Health and Implant Centre with a very specific goal in mind: to help patients regain the ability to smile, chew and speak comfortably, either through providing the highest quality of dental implant, periodontal, or prosthetic treatment possible, or through enabling fellow dentists through focused, practical education to perform a variety of dental procedures. The doctors at BC Perio Dental Health and Implant Centre specialize in all facets of periodontal and surgical therapy, with a strong focus on dental implant treatments that can replace single, multiple, or all missing teeth.  In addition, the clinic provides minimally invasive nonsurgical and surgical treatment using the newest cutting-edge technology such as microscopes, lasers, and computer-guided surgery.  We look forward to helping you with your oral health!
