Fantastic experience: Taking my adult, special needs son, to a dentist is dreadful, and most dentist will not accept him. As for Dr. Picard, he has a kind way to make my son cooperative. Today, him and his amazing assistant (Maria), managed to do 2 fillings in less than 30 minutes. Almost a miracle!
Fantastic experience: I had a crown created by a 3-D printer implanted today. Amazing process to see one's tooth created in a digital environment and then manifested in physical form and installed all within one appointment. Kudos to Dr. Picard and staff for another fabulous experience.

Fantastic experience: Great space, service, AND they have a massage chair
Fantastic experience: All their staff are welcoming, from receptionists to hygienists to dentists. Very professional and state of the art equipment and techniques are applied in all dental work and teeth cleaning. Plus, the views outside the window from all dental chairs might be the best in town!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Downtown Dental. Dr. Lana was professional, gentle, and very clear in explaining everything during my visit. I also want to give special appreciation to the hygienist who did my cleaning. I’m sorry I don’t remember their name, but they were incredibly thorough, gentle, and made the whole appointment very comfortable. For my next cleaning, I would love to have the same hygienist again. Their work was excellent, and I truly appreciated the care they provided. Thank you to the whole team for such a positive experience
Fantastic experience: As always, friendly front-end staff, and Stéphan was thorough & caring.
Fantastic experience: I wa sable to be fit in with a tooth ache, on the same day I called. I am very appreciative. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t say enough good things about Downtown Victoria Dental. I have a complete fear of dental work and have avoided it longer than I should have, but from the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel calm, heard, and genuinely cared for. They took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed me, and were incredibly compassionate about my anxiety. Most importantly, they came up with a thoughtful, realistic plan for my current dental issue that feels manageable instead of overwhelming. If you’re someone who’s nervous, scared, or has had bad past experiences with dental work, this is absolutely the place to go. Professional, kind, and truly outstanding care. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I always have a really great experience here the whole staff is lovely. Shout out to Ashley at the front desk for working her magic when I needed some help last minute. Keep up the great work guys. Going to the dentist sucks but you make it as enjoyable as possible. Cheers
Fantastic experience: I have had some mixed experiences in the past with dentists. I also struggled with creating a regular flossing habit. When I moved from another office to Victoria Downtown Dental, after a bad experience, I was lucky enough to have been scheduled for a cleaning with Krissy. She is a master of her craft. I really feel her care and attention, this in turn inspired me to be more attentive to my own dental care, and I now floss every day. I look forward to my cleanings! It’s been almost a decade now and can't recommend her enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been continuously impressed with Downtown Dental. Everyone is very professional, but still very light-hearted and joyful. Their demeanour shows that they are treated well at their workplace. I appreciate that a very great deal. The workday is long enough without having friction, so to see that everyone is happy and treated well at work means as much to me as the services performed. The dental work was excellent as well and prices were fair.
Fantastic experience: Three years later and I e experience nothing but perfection. Their people are like magicians! It was my first time thereand the experience was amazing! Thank you so much for the service
Fantastic experience: Good day, My wife and I both had our appointments on December 10; I write this quick review because we were both very impressed with the clinic and its employees. First off, the reception area is comfortable, clean and relaxing. The staff in the office were friendly. The appointment was as scheduled ( no extra waiting). The dentists and assistants were also friendly and a compliment to their professions. Further, we were given a welcome gift bag which was very impressive. The whole experience was enough for us to agree it was extraordinary, and enough to warrant this review. Thanks. Sincerely, Stuart and Jennifer Hobson
Fantastic experience: Stephanie and Dr Pickard are so nice!
Fantastic experience: Downtown Dental is fantastic. I dreaded going to the dentist my entire life (and avoided it for way too long) until I found Downtown Dental 10 years ago.

The peppermint flavor rocks...I am not an easy client to deal with.. a serious fall this year and they do everything possible to make me comfortable while doing dental work...I can only hope they open an office in the Westshore area so the travel time getting to an appointment isn't so stressful!
