Comfortable by design
Our Solea laser lets us complete many procedures without a needle or a drill. For a lot of people, that single change is the difference between dreading an appointment and simply booking one.
A modern dental centre in Central Nanaimo, built around unhurried appointments, gentle technology, and a team that treats people as people.

Most people have a story about a dental visit that felt like an assembly line. Seven Sails was built to be the opposite. We make time to listen, use technology chosen with your comfort in mind, and help you understand your options, so your care feels personal, never rushed.

Our Solea laser lets us complete many procedures without a needle or a drill. For a lot of people, that single change is the difference between dreading an appointment and simply booking one.

A complete digital workflow: 3D scanning, digital radiography, guided implant placement, and an on-site lab where we make many of our own restorations. Better information, fewer appointments, and work that fits properly.

We keep a calm pace on purpose. It means you're listened to, your questions get proper answers, and nothing is ever decided for you.
From a routine checkup to fully guided implant surgery, most of your care can be completed here, by a team that already knows your history.


Seven Sails is open to new patients across Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island. There's no waitlist, and you don't need a referral.
Whether it's been six months or sixteen years since your last appointment, you'll be met without judgment. A first visit is a conversation before it's anything else: what's bothering you, what you'd like, and what we'd recommend. Nothing gets booked without your say-so.
Most patients pay only their portion at the end of the appointment. We submit to your insurer on your behalf, so there's no paying the full amount upfront and no claim forms to chase.

Clinicians and administrators who chose this practice on purpose. Many of them have looked after the same families for decades.
