Dr. Karim Lalani knows the intrinsic value of exemplary bench strength.
As head dentist with Burnaby’s Madison Centre Dental, Lalani has built a team around him that has more than 100 years of collective expertise that fits any need, across any contemporary solution.
Take, for example, Dr. Shu Wei Lin’s focus on all things implants, sedation or Invisalign.
“When I see a patient for the first time, I always explain how to look at an X-ray, how to read the X-ray and explain why things happen to their teeth,” Lin explains. “I don’t overwhelm patients by trying to explain everything at once, I focus on the most important aspects.”
Madison Centre Dental Clinic’s success is largely built on its foundational talent and tenets, but also its collective ability to embrace the future while being all things to all patients.
To that end, Madison specializes in both general and cosmetic dentistry; root canals; fillings; implants; dental hygiene; Invisalign; 3D printing; oral or laughing gas sedation; veneers; whitening; and more.
Madison’s biggest advantages are twofold: multiple specialists who can treat virtually any condition on-site and the ability to perform same-day, single-visit crowns.
“We literally fabricate the crown for you in the same visit so you don’t have to put up with discomfort and sensitivity in your mouth for two weeks,” Lalani says. “We control the quality of the process right away, so it's a completely different paradigm.”
Lalani and company pride themselves on a collective patient-focused approach that’s rooted in modern, digital technologies. Effort is always made to spend the requisite time required to know patients and their interests, while at the same time educating them about their overall oral health.
Considerable attention is also given to the space and experience itself, as Lalani acknowledges that a dentist’s chair is not everyone’s preferred destination. And so the chairs are comfy, the atmosphere is relaxed and the setting is spa-like.
“We form a friendly relationship from a young age, we gain patients’ trust and we have fun with them,” Lalani explains. “When you start off with a young patient like that, they see that we care and we engage with them and so it becomes an extension of a trusted place.”
And like the proud general manager of a championship sports team, Lalani rattles off his team’s individual attributes with pride.
On Dr. Lin: “He’s been here for over 10 years now and he brings some phenomenal skills in terms of the smile enhancements, Invisalign and implants.”
On Dr. Christina Lo: “Like me, she’s practiced for three decades and she's an awesome and very caring dentist who patients are really, really fond of.”
On Dr. Todd Slogocki: “We graduated together and he’s helped us put together a really good team of people who have a lot of trust for each other.”
On in-house lab tech Jessica Kim: “Very diligent and detail oriented. It's a real luxury as a dentist to have that service in-house now.”
