Sedation Dentistry for Root Canal

Just wanted you all to know that Dr. San Mahara at Downtown Dental Group enjoys doing root canals. This is really important for those of us with dental anxiety, since the awfulness of dentistry just won't go away with wishful thinking. So if you're looking for a dentist who does sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and/or sedation drugs, this is your guy. He's that good.

Corrected Bite and New Smile

"I am writing to say how pleased I am with my new crowns and the treatment I have received from Dr. Mahara and the staff at Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group.  I have found Dr. Mahara to be pleasant, professional and considerate of my particular situation.  My corrected bite has reduced the frequency of migraine and my new smile has given me improved confidence. Thank you."                                                                                                                                                                                Steve P., Gabriolla B.C.

Root Canal Praises

"I had a root canal with Dr. Mahara recently and am scheduled for another, and couldn’t feel more
confident with his skills. He explained the process thoroughly and answered the many questions I had.
Most important, though, was how incredibly deft he was doing the actual procedure. His speed and
accuracy meant I spent the least amount of time in the chair, with minimal discomfort. Great dentist!"

Happy Child With a Pulled Tooth

"I took my daughter to Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group to see Dr. Mahara about a new tooth that was coming in behind the baby tooth.  Dr. Mahara was extremely patient and child friendly and took a good deal of extra time to ensure that there was no feeling in the tooth before the baby tooth was extracted.  I left with a proud and happy little girl who said it was no big deal!  I would highly recommend Dr. Mahara and the Downtown Dental Group team to any family.  They understand how important it is for children not to associate bad feelings with the dentist chair.  Thank you Dr. Mahara and team!"

Tooth Whitening Pride

"When I looked into a mirror and saw yellow teeth I was not happy with myself. I read  about teeth whiteing when I was in the Downtown Nanaimo Dental office so I asked Dr Mahara if he thought that I could benefit from a teeth whitening. He checked my teeth and we discused a couple of options to have this done. One option was a do it yourself  system, and the other was an in-office whitening. I chose the in-office program.

The procedure took about 2 hours and the dental assistant did a great job asking me often if I was comfortable when applying the whitening. I am very happy to have this done. I go out of my way to smile at my freinds now that I have white teeth."
