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 am a visitor in Victoria, on vacation, with 4 weeks remaining. Whilst on vacation I have…read moreexperienced a dental emergency. Frantically calling all of the Dentists on the map, When contacting the office I was sent to voicemail (where I was afraid of a delayed response) left a message with Elements staff wherein I described my situation. Within in 1/2 hour I received a call back that the staff had a cancellation and I could receive exam and subsequent treatment just 4 hours later. I am now back at our accommodations where the numbing has worn off. My pain, after nearly a week trying to hide it, has gone from 11 out of 10 to I still haven't taken the recommended acetometaphin or naproxin sodium. I know I will I just don't want to until absolutely need too. Dr. Evans and Dental Asst. Kim were very in tune with everything. From my fears to my expectations. In addition they assured me that they could get me through the procedure today. The team skill displayed during the procedure was very very good. No communication necessary when 2 thoroughly professional clinicians practice their craft. I'm not sure they talked at all during the procedure and I was wide awake. Kim kept me informed of everything during the procedure before it happened. I was impressed at how the Dr. Evans allowed me to feed off of his Assistant's energy as she was extremely positive and upbeat from greeting to goodbye. It was also very reassuring that he had no need to interrupt or correct his Assistant at any time. A testimony to the hours they've spent working together I'm sure. They are an exceptional team. The type of care was genuine and compassionate. So far the quality of the care has been exceptional. And I wouldn't have had the procedure performed if it hadn't been for the wonderful people at the reception staff who immediately filled in an opening with me. My son lives here in Victoria and I will be recommending that he go to elements dental with his family. In summation I could not give this office a higher recommendation. As extreme as my situation was the single most notable takeaway from this office was their compassion, from the phone call to the doctor, to the receptionist whom originally helped with her callback and heard I was checking out, came to ask "If everything had gone OK." If you're really afraid of the dentist. If you're in pain from dentistry that needs repair. If you want to be treated with compassion and care, true care, make an appointment at Elements and asked to be in the care of Dental Assistant Kim and Dr. Evans. My recommendation comes with its highest regard. PS ..... still no real rush to medicate with OTC pain meds. So thankful!

Hillside Dental was my knight in shining armour: My permanent retainer had come unglued from one of…read moremy teeth, making the metal wire stick straight into the side of my mouth. It happened on a Thursday afternoon and I had a job interview coming up on Monday, so I knew that I needed to get into a dental clinic, QUICK. I made phone calls to all the dental and orthodontic clinics I could find around Victoria, to no avail, and I started getting scared that I'd have to go into my interview with a VERY uncomfortable mouth. That's when I called Hillside Dental, who was able to schedule me in first thing the next morning and was super understanding of the whole situation. They weren't able to reglue my permanent retainer back on due to lack of hardware, but they could remove it, which suited me just fine as the retainer didn't stop my teeth from reshifting anyways. When I went in, I filled out some quick paperwork and was immediately seen by a dentist, who was able to remove the wire and grind the "cement" (that stuck the wire on) off of the back of my teeth. After looking further into their website, I found out that they actually do Invisalign, which is awesome, and I'll definitely be using them to recorrect my teeth when I decide to do so. I was in need of a dentist in Victoria anyways and the confidence that I have in them now is paramount. Plus, next time I go in I'll be taking pictures and adding them to this page because the office itself is BEAUTIFUL and I highly recommend going in to check it out. Side note: Their Instagram page, @hillsidedentalcentre, is freaking hilarious and super active, with an emphasis placed on learning and supporting students at all levels. Adorable as HECK. They passed all of my den-tests with flying colours ;)
