Services

Preventive Hygiene

Regular cleanings and exams help maintain optimal oral health. Our hygienists use advanced tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Patients receive personalized home care guidance to prevent dental issues between visits.

Restorative Services

We restore damaged teeth through fillings, crowns, and root canals. Our dentists use tooth-colored materials for natural-looking results. Treatment plans address both functional and aesthetic concerns while preserving natural tooth structure.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Transform your smile with veneers, bonding, and whitening treatments. Our cosmetic procedures address discoloration, chips, and gaps. Custom treatment plans create balanced, confidence-boosting results that maintain oral functionality.

Oral Surgery

We perform extractions, implant placements, and bone grafting procedures. Our surgical approach prioritizes patient comfort and long-term oral health. Implant solutions replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-feeling restorations.

Dental Appliances

Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports and sleep. Night guards prevent damage from teeth grinding. Our appliances improve oral health while addressing specific patient needs like TMJ disorders.

Starting off with some good banter on the initial call to make an appointment, the receptionist promptly called me when a spot opened-up shorty thereafter. Their very friendly staff made me feel at ease and I can honestly say that it was one of my most pleasant dental experiences. Would certainly recommend!

Very much excellent!
Dr. Phelps is very friendly, and wonderfully efficient! He even told us about his dogs after the operation. with pictures! My tooth extractions were VERY quick and absolutely painless. My wife was even allowed to sit in the room while he and his (also wonderful) dental assistant did their excellent work. I'm pretty sure you get the idea :
This is the place to go for superior dental work, from a superior team. Thank you.

I chipped my 2 front teeth and Dr. Phelps with the help of Angela fixed them for my upcoming wedding of my son. I am very grateful. Dr. Phelps was very gentle and talking through every steps of the procedure. No pain at all except the noise of the drillargh! Thank you so much!

Friendly and kind. When you have to do something so personal you want to feel safe. I felt so safe entering this dentist office for my first time. I was welcomed. Dr. Phelps is the best there is. He is so kind. Thank you for a great experience and I will see more of you! It was worth the drive from Cassidy to Parksville

I have not been to the dentist in 5 years, cause of finances and fear. I needed to go as a chunk of my molar tooth broke off, so no escaping this one. I googled all dentists near by reviews and chose to go with Arrowsmith, as they had the most 5. Sooo glad I did! They make you feel welcome and are so friendly and funny and you just get a warm cozy feeling. Dr. K. Phelps did an excellent job at walking me through my options and explained it very well without pushing for the most expensive solution. He is kind, funny, patient and a great photographer to boot. I enjoyed watching his photo slide
