Dentists in Victoria, TX

To add to this qustion, can anyone recommend a dentist that is also good for people who are terrified of dentists?

Not sure if he is accepting new patients but Dr. Zap is my dentist http://drzap.ca/

Dr Dave Dhillon. He now owns Uptown Dental. I saw him when he was at Mayfair Dental and he was fantastic. I have not been able t see him in his new location though. Still a great dentist!

dr don j neal in sidney

My dentist has been Dr. Kirk Matheson at Bowker Creek Dental for as long as I can remember. You can find additional info at: http://www.bowkercreekdental.com/ He's great and very gentle with your mouth. I've had a few fillings done by him and I can't even tell they are there or that he was even in my mouth, even right after the procedure (aside from the freezing).

Dr. Allan MacIntosh in Broadmead Nice guy, great work, and TVs in every room with all the DVDs you could want!

Dr. Doug Simms. Did a root canal on himself. without anesthetic. Motherfucker's a badass

Dr. Ted Laver: http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/72056/Dr-Edward-Laver-Victoria-BC.html An excellent dentist and very kind person, who is patient, gentle, and very capable. 100-1964 Fort St, Victoria, BC V8R 6R3 250-598-9224

For cheap basic checkups, you can go to the student clinic at Camosun Lansdowne. Don't be put off by the fact that they're students - all the reviews I've heard are very good. Highly professional and well supervised.

Avoid Dr. Hooker. Condescending, offers you plastic surgery, all around mean lady. She's kind of fucked.

Dr Peglar at Tuscany village. I think him an his staff are awesome with me and my kids.

Dr Todd at Bayshore for sure. he has great hours for working people too.

Dr. Vicky Ikonomou. Her office is downtown on Gordon.

I recommend Dr Dutchak at Orchid Dental in Langford. Great with nervous, scared patients.

http://inharmonydentalcare.ca/ They have therapy dogs!

DEFINATLY [Dr. Allan Macintosh](http://www.broadmeaddentalcentre.ca/) Been going there for about 8 years. Not the cheapest, but they are great. You can watch tv or movies also while getting the work done, which helps me keep distracted from the shit going on in my mouth.

Dr. Scott in Sidney@Fifth St Dental is pretty good

For general cleanings, whitenings etc, look into this place in James Bay. They opened up last year, it's a brand new place, super knowedgeable and friendly staff. http://focusondh.com/home/

academy dental on fort street.. they have a massage chair in the waiting room, excellent friendly staff and you get a massage during your cleaning.

Dr. Tranter at Westside Dentistry is wonderful. The staff is all very nice and even though the office is a little 90's looking you get great treatment and a super friendly environment:)

Dr. Laver. Family dentist for over 20 years. Didn't have a cavity till I was 29. http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/72056/Dr-Edward-Laver-Victoria-BC.html

I was terrified of dentists until I found the good folks at Cresta Dental at the Tillicum Mall. My dentist prescribed Atavan and it's been a godsend; however, I lose pretty much a whole day on that stuff and I can't drive, but I don't remember much of the procedure and while it's happening, I don't really mind. This is coming from someone who had a lifelong fear of dentists! Now that I don't fear them, I get regular checkups.

Dr. McElroy at Oak Bay Dental Centre on Currie Road has been my dentist since I moved to town. I've been very happy with his work.

Well, Dr. Hurdurr is my family dentist. He lives on Wark Street and also does house calls.

Academy Dental on Fort St. is the motherfucking bomb! It's like your in the future! Water scaling, spa treatment and you get a free gift card! Tell that Nick Cage sent ya!

Dr Pratt Oak Bay

Dr. Chersa@[Saanich Dental Group](http://saanichdentalgroup.com/) awesome dude and stand by his worksmanship. Has replaced cracks or broken fillings for free.

I love Hillside Dental. Massage seats, tvs on roof and have had a lot of nasty canalling done that they've done so well.

I like Chanel Gallant on Yates and Cook a lot, and I used to hate going to the dentist. I still don’t look forward to it, but she and her staff are great.

I see Dr Leavitt in Oak Bay. Her hygienists are amazing. I used to have a ton of anxiety about dental visits, but this office has been really good to me.

Andrew Sweet is the man!

Late to party Sherwood family dental are amazing and the dentist is a human being, I had no money needed a root canal and my insurance was a couple of months away he essentially did the work at cost than waived the cost 2 days before Xmas last year. He is great with kids, the office clean and professional. I work in long term care (which is how I met him) he comes in to check on his elderly clients on his own time. Amazing wonderful dentist

I used to go to Dr Matheson at Bowker Creek Dental - while he’s a nice guy and a decent dentist, the only upgrades at the office are cosmetic. Technologically they were way behind, not digital Xrays. I ended up switching to James Bay Dental because they had a huge equipment overhaul and wanted to try them out and I’ve been super happy. The dentist there (Dr. Vorobyev) happened to be the best I’ve ever had so far, which was lucky but worked out.

Dr Bell down town is very good. He is a very skilled, detail oriented dentist. He's also compassionate to those of us who are not great with getting dental work.I had a crown in several months ago, and he remembered that I burn through anaesthesia extremely quickly from the filling I had several months to that, and was checking on me every few minutes and had a freezing needle ready. Also: he's kinda cute.

I live in Vic, but take the short drive to Sydney for great, friendly service from the father/son team at Landmark Dental. http://www.landmarkdental.ca/

Friends of ours: http://drjenniferserinkinc.com/

Oooh yeah that's a bummer.

I started going to InHarmony last year and like it! They are great at dealing with dental anxiety. Only downside is their office hours.

I go to Moss St Health Centre. They're very good!

Urban Smiles in downtown has been great for me!

Macmillan on shelbourne near fujiya was great.

Dr Matheson at Bowker Creek dental. Good dentist with modern office and excellent view of the Olympic mountains. Taking new patients too.

Dr Bruce Tranter....Westside Dentistry in Vic West. 250-381-0028.

Dr bell downtown

Dr Jacob and Dr Higgins at Signature Dental.

I love Dr. Gary Graves... He is on Carey rd.

Dr Crowe is great he's on oak bay ave and bank st.

Dr Harbeck at Hillside Dental.

Dr McCann in Fairfield. Very good about pain reduction.

Dr. Chanel Gallant on Yates st. will happily administer Ativan. I quite like their in house hygienist, but sometimes they have an on-call hygienist, so you would have to confirm who you were getting.

I now go to the best dentist I had since childhood when we went to a family friend and colleague of my father's. her name is Ikonomou Vicky Dr I even hijacked cristina and lulu away from thier dentist and brought them, her office fits all your criteria. https://plus.google.com/106127803489617440946/about?gl=ca&hl=en

Dr Andrade out in Langford; she's pretty dang good....I go out of my way to avoid snooty hygienists!

I've always gone to Dr. Darryl Sinclair on Hillside. You'd have to ask about the pain reduction stuff, but his hygenists are great.

My dentist is a combination of Jim Henson and mr Rodgers. And he's tiny, has a therapy dog you can cuddle as well as heated massage chairs. Dr. Laver. I heart him.

Dr. Rick Chambers is great. I've been seeing him & his crew for over 10 years. Even when I smoked & took less than great care of my teeth they were really nice and helpful.

Dr Glen Mcilroy on curry st. Near Windsor park. Really nice. Definitely non judgemental, and crazy technique with needles. I been stuck 5 times in the last year and haven't felt the needle yet.

Colwood Dental Group - Dr. Holben. Amazing team.

If it's anything other than a cleaning (oh, I have lots of dental issues, 3 root canals, fillings up the wazoo and gum surgery), they need to drug me. My dentist fills me right full of Xanax and I'm ready to go (kind of). I go to Hillside Dental Center (in the mall).

I like my Dentist, Dr. Peglar at Tuscany Village

Dr Bild is a quirky highly intelligent perfectionist. Just what I look for in a dentist.

Vicky Ikonomou on Gordon St. Loves her.

Dr. Leachman. He's hilarious and painless. He used to have an office on Douglas beside Mint with the big red dentist chair in the window. He's now beside the Marriot hotel. If Jim likes him you can imagine how good he is. And reasonable. He treats a lot of street people with grace and passion.

Dr.Lee at Cresta Dental in tillicum mall. they are great and offer IV sedation as well

Also go to Dr. Sinclair on Hillside. Have recommended him to many friends… some w dental anxiety like me. All happy there.

Hey cuz I have seen Dr Sumbera & Rivera both are good 361 576-6118

Dr Sterne on mockingbird

Your Tia and I see Dr. Fordiani. He is really good. My mom likes him a lot.

Dr. Garza in goliad tx.

We use Dr. Ken Wiedenfield he's a pediatric dentist....is is AMAZING with little kids...I was shocked how mine just took to him. She is always looking forward to her visits.

Dr. Ken is awesome but doesnt accept medicaid

My daughter has been going to Dr. Shuttlesworth and loves it there. I think he does children only

Dr Teeth is amazing - totally fabulous! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Teeth_and_The_Electric_Mayhem

George Olstein in Prahran. My phobia had almost gone.

I go to Inharmony Dental, they are super. I had a severe phobia of dentists before I started and now I don't even need sedation. They have painless needles too, so far I've had the dental vibe and a needleless injection.

Dr. Laver is great.

Dr Babin. I used to be very phobic and he's fantastic. So are his staff - they all went out of the way to help me relax and I can't even feel his needles. His office on Chatterton is a little out of the way, but if you time it right there's a #6 that goes right by it (it might be the 6B, but I'm not completely sure). I know there was a thread a week or so ago for lower cost options, most of their fees are regulated though so there shouldn't be a ton of variation in prices.

I go to Dr Sajan, he took over my old dentist's practice. I've only seen him a handful of times but he's great. I don't particularly have a fear of dentists but I find him very clear, explains what he plans to do before he does it, so maybe that would help you. Understanding, won't shame you for blatantly lying about how often you floss. The hygienists and staff are great too. He's downtown in the CIBC building.

Dr. C Ross Crapo http://www.drcrapo.com/ Even his website is relaxing! His staff did try to upsell me a bunch when I first went in there (no, I don't think I need gum surgery), but it's was the easiest dentist appointment I've ever experienced, the hygienists noted my anxiety and were very gentle. And whatever process they used to clean my teeth was top notch, it completely got rid of all the stains. They also have a really affordable new patient package, which is perfect for someone who hasn't been to the dentist in a while. If you book an appointment with them, don't forget to mention that you don't like dentists and they'll be extra nice :)

Where are you a student? Both camosun and uvic have dental coverage to a point.

Dr Nadia Robichaud at Quadra Dental is awesome if you're in that area. She is very friendly, very calm and eager to explain any part of the process you're interested in. She's always in a great mood and puts you at ease immediately, and the rest of the staff there are really nice as well. When I told her I didn't have insurance she did what she could to accommodate me.

Dr. Joshua Chenowith. Dude gives 20% extra off what your student benefits cover so you pay next to nothing.

Thnx Erykah!!!
