White Rock’s Dr. Ali Mehdi explores the benefits of dental implants for health and wellness
Dr. Ali Mehdi, owner of Apple Dental Specialists, discovered his passion for dentistry early on, inspired by his father’s compassionate approach to patient care.
“My first exposure was seeing my father do his job with so much passion and seeing how much gratitude his patients had for the help he provided – that really connected with me,” Dr. Mehdi says.
This early interest in the restorative benefits of oral surgery and implant dentistry was further fuelled during his studies and training in facial trauma, cleft lip, palate surgeries and oral cancers solidified his passion for implant dentistry and dental surgical procedures.
“The best part of my job is helping my patients get their confident smiles back,” Dr. Mehdi shares.
Why choose dental implants?
Dental implants, a permanent solution for tooth replacement, are a suitable option for individuals who are missing some or all their teeth, who experience frequent tooth breakdown, or who require ongoing dental care or multiple fillings.
The single best method for tooth replacement – dental implants offer multiple benefits:
- Natural appearance: Implants look, feel and function like your natural teeth, providing a seamless smile.
- Enhanced comfort & confidence: Unlike removable dentures, implants eliminate discomfort and don’t move, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants offer patients a long-term solution.
- Bone health protection: Implants protect the jawbone and surrounding teeth from any harm.
- Security & stability: Implants are securely anchored onto your teeth to ensure they stay in place.
Additionally, dental implants can help promote better oral hygiene and have a positive effect on the overall health and wellbeing of patients.
“Implants really can be a good option to ensure patients are getting a better quality of life,” Dr. Mehdi explains.
Beyond Apple Dental Specialists’ advanced technology and the team’s decades of combined experience, their holistic approach to dental care stands out.
“No two patients are the same, so we look at the whole picture, then make a recommendation based on the patient’s health, social life and other factors to find the best fit for them,” Dr. Mehdi says, noting that care extends to the community’s retirement residences, and ensuring seniors can receive high-quality care for affordable prices.
“I really love that most of my patients are returning patients and have become like family,” he shares. “Many of my patients have also referred other family members, giving us the opportunity to care for generations of families and celebrate every smile transformation together.”
