Dr. Michel Séguin, BDS
Owner & Principal Dentist
Dr. Michel Séguin graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from James Cook University in Australia. He moved from Ontario to join Seven Sails Dental Centre in 2020, and became the clinic's owner in 2025. What he enjoys most about leading the practice is the chance to imagine the world he wants to live in, and then make it real.
His philosophy of care is simple: the way we do one thing is the way we do everything. At Seven Sails, “we fight for style points.” Everything is done with precision, care and mastery, even when no one can see it. And we always treat people like people. He values meaningful work and being part of the community.
His training goes well beyond dental school. He completed additional training in oral medicine, oral pathology and oral surgery in Sri Lanka, followed by extensive advanced education in lasers and implants. He is highly skilled in laser dentistry and uses the Solea laser, which allows many procedures to be virtually pain-free, often without needles or drilling. His clinical focus also includes dental implants, aesthetic dentistry and advanced surgical procedures.
Dr. Séguin loves that Vancouver Island feels like the edge of the world, a little wild and free. He flies single-engine airplanes in search of adventure, and his favourite film is Top Gun: Maverick, for its message that in a rapidly changing world, what matters most is the person in the cockpit. He is a strong supporter of the arts and believes in the power of storytelling.
And if you'd like to make his day, he responds very positively to flattery and delicious baked goods.
“It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”
