Regan is here to help Courtenay and Comox patients in need of dental / denture work - it's a natural fit to have a one-stop option to care for our patients in need of dentures. Following in the footsteps of her Grandmother, a denturist and true pioneer in the denturism profession, Regan knew from a very young age, after spending hours at her Grandmother's clinic, that she would also pursue a career in denturism.
At Driftwood Dental we use technology to help customize your treatment plans. Learn more about each of the technologies and how they will help you maintain your oral health. Our E4D Mill technology allows the dentists at Driftwood Dental to create restorations including same-day crowns. For patients who do not look forward to needles, drilling, or numbness, lasers may be a great alternative.

I've been coming here for 15 years and have had overwhelmingly positive experiences! From Allie in scheduling through to my hygienist Geniene and dentist Dr. McGaw, I've always been treated with cheerful professionalism by everyone in this office. My whole family and friend circle goes now as well.

This is the best dental office ever. Pretty much one stop service, as they have a complete team of dentists, endodontist, denturist….staff are great and friendly. IV sedation is awesome, too…dr. Mcgaw is an I’ve expert. Got mine on the first try, and I’m not sure that’s ever happened to me before. Just a great place to go, especially if you don’t like dentists……this office could change your mind!

I love this dentist office. They are always updating equipment. All the staff are wonderful and are happy to be there! They are so patient and kind. If you're lucky enough to be in Dr. Wong's chair he might even sing for you....

I have a fear of going the dentist. I had to have a tooth extracted. Dr.Sabrina and her assistant were very patient and kind to me. They took extra time and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Driftwood Dental to anyone who is nervous.

I recently had a tooth extraction done by Dr. McGaw under IV sedation by Dr. Richardson and the rest of the Driftwood Dental Team. All the staff from the receptionists on up were exceptional to work with. They are all very welcoming and work hard to ensure that your experience is a pleasant one. I never thought that I would refer to a tooth extraction as a "pleasant experience" but that is the only way to describe my experience at Driftwood Dental. A big thank you and shout out to Dr. McGaw and his staff. Your patient care is second to none.

My daughter recently underwent treatment with Driftwood Dental. This was one of the best experiences we have had in a dental office!! All of the staff were so professional, understanding and caring!! They were knowledgeable and caring with my daughter who suffers with anxiety and fear after experiencing traumatic times at other dentist offices. I highly recommend Driftwood Dental!!

I recently had a short and painless procedure with Dr. Borland and his assistant Brandy. I left feeling relieved and unstressed because of the relaxed atmosphere of the appointment. I would recommend Dr. Borland to anyone suffering any anxiety about having dental work done.

I'm Pretty pissed off at you guys.
I raised my whole family here for the last 20 years.
I've been a long-time customer probably close to when you guys started.
Your practice has made countless thousands of dollars from my family... my wife and three daughters.
(In case you don't recall, that's called a good customer)
-I've been going away to camp, up coast, Handlogging and beachcombing with a stint in Alberta all that time.
Weather and travel is always a problem. Tug boats can't Always make Port.
What's more,
is I have always tried to let your practice

Had sedation surgery. Other than starting late, everyone was great. They went over estimate and dealt with our medical provider. Actually surgery was fine and the anesthesiologist was great.
Highly recommended. I am a complete wreck when it comes to going to dentist and only place I'll go.
