I am 55 years old and due to challenging dental experiences as a child, have always been very…read moreanxious going to the dentist. As the day approaches, so do the knots in my stomach. And then, once I'm there, spend the entire time, battling nerves, trying to pretend I'm fine, am like everyone else, not sweating through my clothes. Trying to act like shots of any kind don't freak me out. Add to that, that my mouth doesn't always seem to respond to the freezing the way it should. So, more often than not, I am not 100% frozen which ends up being quite painful and embarrassing. I recently returned to Victoria and had walked by Dr Pite's office quite frequently while walking my dog. Once I passed when the staff was coming back from lunch. They were laughing and seems happy, like they enjoyed their work and each other. I went home and checked them out on that MD rating site. Really good reviews. A couple days later, I was walking past with my husband and I said, Let's go here. We went in and made an appointment for a cleaning and check up. We filled out questionnaires and although I was a little nervous, it was only a cleaning. I am very good with hygiene and was hoping there would be no need for drilling or shots etc. Two weeks later, around a week before our cleaning, I bit into a wintergreen lifesaver and broke off my tooth! Panic. We called the office, but they are closed on Friday. We left a message on his cell. Keep in mind we were soon to be new patients, had never met him personally. Well, he called back and came in to the office to see me that afternoon, and filed down the sharp bits so I would be comfortable. He was very kind. The next week he was able to prepare my tooth for a crown. And I was very, very impressed. Like crazy impressed. He knew that I'd had bad experiences, he explained everything he was going to do, he jiggled my cheek for the shot and so it barely hurt and put the medicine in slowly so again it wouldn't be as uncomfortable. He checked with cold to make sure it was frozen, because I could still feel he gave me another jiggly shot, this one I almost didn't feel. He didn't start until my tooth was totally, totally numb. He offered me music which was a great idea and I was able to focus on that instead of all the drilling and noise. And it didn't hurt at all. Another first. It was the best dental experience of my life. I am 55 and for the first time, I don't feel afraid to go to my dentist and I'm real glad because he is young and that means I'll probably be dead by the time he retires and so I won't ever have to be scared again. If there was a ten star thing I could click on I would do that. Was the most stress free dentist visit I have ever had.

I feel the need to update my review, because the procedure that I had done was not successful…read more Although I didnt feel major pain or discomfort, the gum graft didn't take and the surgery is to be done again. Dr Pite and the staff were caring and I can't say anything bad about the overall service, but in the end, the success of the procedure is what matters. So I just want to make future patients aware that for this specific type of surgery that is a gum graft, I would recommend to see a periodontist who has more experience with this type of procedure.

I feel badly for that, but unfortunately every day now is Saturday and I don't wear a watch, but still that is no excuse. Type of care - I always have dental work performed at Element Dental. They don't sell glasses, unless of course they're from the lost and found however I've yet to find a pair that has my prescription lol, so yes dental work is what I have done at my dentist office. Care and quality, second to none. I've never felt more comfortable, respected and didn't feel like I was someone that just had to go in and pay a lot of money to have an extravagant cleaning. Most dental offices, you feel like you're on conveyor belts of would you like this, would you like, record show you're due for x-rays, you have already used all of your units this year and we're only halfway through it, so everything will cost you out-of-pocket from now on! How would you like to pay today? Ok and that's just in the dentist chair, wait until you get to the reception How would you like to pay today sir, debit card, credit card or cash, no checks, please. In all seriousness elements dental in my experience in the three years, I have been going there, are second to none. I'm very happy that I came across when Idid. My previous dentist was retiring and did not think it was necessary for someone of my age or as he put it, "people our age, should be grateful, we have our original teeth in" lol. I wanted my three chipped teeth bonded, and thus is how I came upon Elements Dental. So, not to name anyone in particular, gratitude goes to the entire office, the dentist, the hygienist, the office staff, they have all been fantastic! These days it's a real treat to go to the dentist. PS, it doesn't hurt to bribe them with dessert treats every now and then either. Haha Don Coulson

I have taken my business to another practice and wouldn't recommend Vic West Dentistry to anyone…read more While the dentist himself seemed good, I can't say that about the office staff. The 1st problem was that they charged me $200 for 'sedation'. That's $200 for writing a prescription for Ativan and sticking a heart monitor on my thumb. I was not impressed. I was also on the mainland for a couple of months and wanted to pay by debit, so they had to wait for their $228. Upon my return, I settled up and apologized for the delay. After that I was informed by office staff that it was MY job to contact Canada Life to determine my coverage for each and every procedure. Of course they didn't give me an itemized list of the work, so I'm not sure how they expected me to do that. Nevertheless, if I didn't have a response from Canada Life by the time of the appointment (4 days away), I would need to give them a deposit of $650. At that point I pulled the plug. It was clear that they didn't want my business. When I called around to other dental clinics, they expressed surprise. Despite what Vic West claims, charging $200 for writing a prescription is NOT common practice and many dentists do it for free. On top of that, they ALL (including Vic West) have EFT systems directly linked to all the major insurance companies, so there's no need for the client to worry about getting estimates themselves. My new practice was able to connect with Canada Life while we were on the phone and tell me exactly what was covered. I think the office staff simply wanted to be rid of me. It worked and I can't thank them enough. I'm now with a great dentist who doesn't overcharge and the staff are more interested in providing service than playing stupid games.

Turns out they had messed up a filling that now needs to be redone, but they couldn't find me a time within the next 2 months to do so. Gross incompetence. Don't see how it is appropriate to damage a patient's filling, but then not see them for 2.5 months and leave the patient with pain, inflammation and unable to chew? Have had regular cleanings every 6 months for 20 years with no issues. First cleaning here ends up with acute inflammation and pain, and a damaged filling. If they can't get a regular cleaning done properly, would be very concerned of having done anything even remotely complicated here.
