Services
At Kootenay Dental Arts, artistry meets science to provide a unique blend of caring, comfort and advanced dental procedures. We are a prevention oriented practice and provide the highest quality of dental care in a gentle and informed manner. We are here to care for you and your family and create and maintain your beautiful smile for life.
All of our staff are highly trained and committed to providing you the best customer service. This includes keeping you informed throughout your treatment and ensuring that each visit to our office is as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Dr. Scott Pentecost has been practicing family dentistry for the past 15 years.
Our team is committed to getting to know our clients and their individual needs and expectations. Through placing an emphasis on prevention of disease and dental education, we strive to exceed your expectations and provide exceptional and comprehensive dental care. Our examinations begin with an extra-oral exam to evaluate the muscles of mastication and temporomandibular joint.
Implants are currently the best option for replacing missing teeth. Essentially, a titanium implant is placed in the bone where the tooth's root used to sit, and a crown is placed on top of the implant. Unlike a denture, it isn't bulky and is fixed in place. Unlike a bridge it doesn't affect the neighboring teeth and replaces both the crown and root of the tooth, helping to maintain bone in the area.
At Kootenay Dental Arts we believe strongly in prevention-backed dentistry. Many of the oral problems that arise are preventable with effective daily home care and regular professional visits that are tailored specifically to each patient.
Your first visit to Kootenay Dental Arts will consist of an assessment by Dr. Pentecost and his team of your medical and dental history, discussion of your concerns, and examination of your teeth with a comprehensive oral exam.A certified dental hygienist will clean your teeth and take the necessary measurements to monitor your gum health over time.

15 years ago was the last time I visited a dentist. A horrible experience prevented me from going back. Although a few issues started appearing in my mouth I did everything I could to prolong going to the dentist again. The fear of sitting in a dentist chair was too much for me to handle. Finally a tooth cracked and I couldn't avoid it any longer. After doing my due diligence I decided on Dr. Adrian Naqvi. I required a few visits for him to solve my problems. Nothing but good things to say. His professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. He was able to calm my anxieties and fear

Everytime my family and I have visited Kootenay Dental Arts we have had exceptional service. We are always warmly greeted by the front end staff. Dr. Navqui and Kristin were so wonderful with my six year old who had to have a tooth removed. He didnt even know he had a needle! Their experience and patience is definitely reflected in their wonderful work. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so very much Dr. Adrian Naqvi and Kristin. You are such a superlative team! I am so happy to have found truly excellent dental services in Nelson. I am very pleased with my bridge and your thorough attention to detail. I am confident that my dental needs can be met and now that I have found you it will be a pleasant experience.

I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but after becoming a patient at Kootenay Dental Arts this past year and having had a second successful visit to have some fairly intensive dental work completed I feel compelled to share my experience. Although the procedure went extremely well I was expecting some major pain, swelling, and discomfort as soon as the freezing wore off. To my surprise there was absolutely none! What a completely different experience from my previous dentist visits. Dr. Adrian Naqvi’s skills are next level and his charming assistant Kristin kept me entertained and comfortable

Scott has been my dentist for around 10 years. He and his staff are all very professional and yet also personable. Scott is very relaxed (which is a great quality in a dentist), but he also displays an extraordinary attention to detail. I've used several dentists in the past and my experience with Scott is that there are ways in which he goes above and beyond what I had previously expected from a dentist.

Scott is the best dentist I've ever had! He is personable, skilled and detail-oriented making me feel comfortable and relaxed during procedures. The Kootenay Dental Arts building has also been beautifully renovated with up to date dental technology. Ive always had a pleasurable experience with the front desk. The girls are friendly and organized, they always let me know when I need a check up. I really appreciate such fantastic service. Thank you!

Dr Pentecost and his team are fantastic.
My family and I have all had exceptional experiences with the front desk staff, hygienists and of course Dr Pentecost himself.
We have young kids and they have both needed a bit of dental work. We were very happy with the knowledge, expertise, professionalism and personal support the whole team provides. We are so very grateful to be patients at this clinic.

I had a molar removed by dr.naqvi yesterday, and was totally impressed by his knowledge, demeanor, and charm. I went to highschool with him and didn't know he worked here. He was the smartest kid in our grad class and it shows. Definitely someone I felt comfortable seeing with the forceps. And that clinic! Wow, super high-end but with the warm, kootenay touch of my favorite local painting icon John Cooper. Added bonus? I woke up the next morning with zero pain or swelling. Amazing experience.
