DrB Dental

So nice to have a great dentist! Dr Eric is great, skilled, explains well and is genuinely concerned after any major procedure. After my Invisaligns he must have spent 30 minutes getting my bite perfect. Mandy is one of the top Hygienists to have ever worked on me, she has that special touch which deep cleans but does not cause undo pain. I have had major work and been a patient for three years and have no hesitation recommending this team.

I love Dr. B. My partner and I both go there and have nothing but good experiences. I’ve had to be in three times in the last several months for a cleaning (the hygienist is also amazing and hilarious), a root canal, and a filling.
They gave me the most comprehensive exam I’ve ever had, and actually told me the state of my teeth and dental health, which I’ve never had. The root canal was far less intimidating once Dr. B explained everything and he and his staff were very attentive. And no pain during, or after my filling! Numbing gel + a small shot = I don’t feel a thing, and they let me listen to my iPod during the procedure, so my anxiety is minimal.
Plus Camille, the receptionist is really nice, helpful, and well versed on insurance coverage.

Dr. Eric Bussières took over this practice from Dr. Michael Racich. Our whole family had been seeing Dr. Racich for years and we really liked his calm, capable, and well-​informed work (he is even an author of dentistry books!). When Dr. Racich left (suddenly/​unexpectedly) I started seeing «Dr.B” – Dr. Bussières. Dr. B is competent and well-​educated. Unfortunately I have A LOT of problems with my teeth and I was very used to Dr. Racich’s cautious attitude. I have some of the thinnest enamel possible and I’d had previous dental work done where the dentist didn’t even ask permission to diamond disc between two teeth. As such, I’m *very* nervous at the dentist.
I found that Dr. Bussières has more of a straight-​forward attitude (compared to Dr. Racich’s caution) and decided to fill 2 small cavities that were side-​by-​side at the same time. (Previously, Dr. Racich would do 1, wait to make sure things were okay, and then done the next, when they were touching between teeth.) As a result, I had excruciating pain on that side, and couldn’t chew anything, a mere week before I left on a month-​long vacation.
(edited to add: Dr. Bussières did come in on a day off to try and fix the problem before I left town, but it was not a one-​visit kind of fix and I was apprehensive to have more work done).
I have since switched dentists but I believe my dad (who has less dental issues) and my mom (who has lots of dental issues) still see Dr. Bussières. So this is just my personal experience.

Eric is hands down the most attentive dentist I’ve ever met. Friendly, thorough, and most importantly, HONEST. I took this for granted for the many years I’ve gone to his dental practice. Having recently moved away to the US, I had my first checkup at a new dentist, boy were they pushy, trying to sell all sorts of things I’d never even heard about! If my health plan covers it, I’m definitely driving back to Vancouver just to see Eric again for my teeth!
