Services
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative treatments repair damaged teeth and restore function through dental bonding, crowns, bridges, and implants. We use tooth-colored materials for natural-looking results while preventing further decay. Our team specializes in single-visit bonding and same-day CEREC crowns for convenience.
Preventive Care
Comprehensive preventive services include professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings. We emphasize early detection of gum disease and cavities through regular exams and digital imaging. Our hygienists provide personalized education on maintaining optimal oral health between visits.
Cosmetic Solutions
We offer professional teeth whitening, veneers, and Botox treatments to enhance smiles. Our dentists create customized treatment plans using advanced materials for natural-looking results. We combine aesthetic improvements with functional considerations for long-lasting, healthy smiles.
Orthodontics
Our Invisalign treatments straighten teeth using clear aligners for adults and children. We utilize iTero scanning technology for precise digital impressions and virtual treatment planning. Treatment addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues while maintaining facial aesthetics.
TMJ Therapy
We diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders through custom night guards, Botox injections, and occlusal adjustments. Our approach combines muscle relaxation techniques with bite stabilization to alleviate headaches and jaw discomfort caused by clenching or grinding.

Dental Dan' is the only person who has been able to clean my sons teeth. He is fun -yet calm - and engages my son the entire time with excellent stories. The staff is kind and they take a lot of time to make my son feel welcome and safe. I would highly recommend this clinic- especially for kids!

Ive been going to Saanich Dental Group for years and have had nothing but good experiences. Like most people, Im not a big fan of pain in my mouth, but SDG makes each visit as painless as possible. They were especially great on my last visit when I had to have an emergency procedure. They fit me in quickly and took great care of me.

The name sounds very ordinary, Saanich Dental Group, but this is not an ordinary dental office. The professional administrative staff are very friendly and helpful, and the dental team is compassionate and very skilled. I like that the dentists tell me what theyre going to be doing before they do it and communicate very well. The workmanship has been beyond expectation. And when I have had dental emergencies in off hours, my dentist has always been available to determine what action we need to take. I have had a lot of dental work that was necessary and have serious anxiety. I am impressed

I used to be dentist phobic until I found Saanich Dental. Kind, understanding and take their time to make you feel comfortable. They listen to your needs and fears and adjust accordingly. I highly recommend going and trying them out. Trudy and the front office staff are beyond helpful, Dr. Sean Compton is fantastic and takes his time until I am ready to commit to treatments, and Pamela!! She is a rockstar Hygenist. All staff are so great. You won't be disappointed.
