Location matters—especially when it comes to choosing your healthcare provider. We selected South Nanaimo for a reason, and in this blog, we’ll share what makes the area special and how we plan to serve our new community.
Choosing where to open a dental clinic is about more than traffic flow—it’s about heart, connection, and community. For Sean and Anthony, South Nanaimo isn’t just a spot on the map—it’s where their vision for truly local, caring dentistry comes alive.
Sean’s Commitment to Community & Sleep Health
Sean has served families across Nanaimo—most recently at Diver Lake Dental—and is deeply invested in helping the community sleep better thanks to his certified expertise in dental sleep medicine. He’s seen firsthand how underserved South Nanaimo is for both routine dental care and specialized services like sleep apnea treatment. That’s why he’s determined to bring local, accessible, certified solutions right here—no one should have to drive across town for quality care (or a good night’s sleep).
Anthony’s Island Roots & Love for the Outdoors
Anthony Chan, DMD, UBC grad (2005), has called Vancouver Island home for the past 12 years. He’s practiced in Qualicum Beach, joined local search and rescue teams, and spent weekends exploring the island—rock climbing and hiking through local trails. Anthony’s passion for the outdoors mirrors his desire for a practice rooted in community values: strong, resilient, and here for the long haul.
Why South Nanaimo Was the Perfect Choice
After months of scouting, Bruce Avenue in South Nanaimo stood out:
- Central to daily life: Between families, students, and professionals, it’s a natural fit for a clinic that serves a wide range of patients.
- Visible and accessible: Heavy vehicle traffic makes the clinic convenient for walk-ins and unexpected visits.
- Underserved but growing: With fewer local providers offering family dentistry and certified sleep apnea services, the opportunity to fill this gap felt both practical and purposeful.
Building a Welcome Space for Everyone
Sean and Anthony aren’t just opening a clinic—they’re joining a neighbourhood:
- Family-first care: From toddlers to grandparents, everyone’s welcome.
- Sleep apnea expertise: Certified oral appliance therapy—rarely offered in the area—helps neighbors sleep soundly and live healthier.
- Friendly, familiar faces: Expect personal care, clear communication, and warm relationships from day one.
- Community connections: Whether it’s supporting local causes, giving back through charitable initiatives, or finding meaningful ways to help neighbours in need, they’re excited to become an active part of South Nanaimo from day one.
