General Dentist Dr. Beckie graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 1986 at the age of 22. He moved to Metro Vancouver in 1987 and practiced in several locations before settling at Ocean Dental in 1998. "What makes dentistry exciting for me is incorporating technology into daily practice. Every day I am looking for ways to make dentistry more comfortable for our customers. I love hearing how I did from my patients." I enjoy skiing, hockey, golf, yoga, gardening and photography. Happily married since 1991 and a father of three school aged girls, I have a large extended family that I am very close to. It gives me the opportunity to hear about the needs and concerns of all ages.

What are Invisalign clear aligners?
The Invisalign clear aligners system is a series of custom-made, clear, plastic aligners that straighten your teeth without using metal wires or brackets. We use advanced 3D computer imaging technology during the consultation process in order to create a treatment plan for you based on your unique smile. A series of custom clear aligners will be manufactured to fit your teeth precisely during each stage of the Invisalign treatment process.
How does the Invisalign process work?
Invisalign's clear plastic aligners are designed to move your teeth by tiny increments as your treatment progresses. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks before it is replaced by the next one in the series. This process will continue until your teeth reach their prescribed and corrected positions in your mouth. The duration of this treatment will be decided by your dentist based on your specific needs.
