Dr. Hagi completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry graduating in 2003. He worked in Toronto as a General Dentist and then decided to focus on surgical and prosthetic dental implantology and pursued training with the Misch Implant Institute. In 2008 Dr Hagi started his full-time practice focused on Aesthetics and Implant Dentistry he early on developed an interest in the emerging field of ceramic dental implants. His passion for ceramics was fueled by the realization that current technology had its limitations. After years of preforming traditional implant surgery and restoration with metal based dental implants he realized that the design and material of these implants had a part in the numberous complications that he saw. Among these were screw loosenings, inflammation of the gums around the implants and gum recession leading to grey and black areas around teeth. As well, a new body of evidence, which showed that the many metal sensitivities could be to blame for some of the common complications seen around titanium implants in the human body. In 2011 he began placing ceramic implants and has achieved very high success rates commensurate with those of traditional titanium implants.
