Services
Dr. Mahara and the entire team at Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group welcome you to visit them for all of your dental needs. The history of our dental clinic at this downtown Nanaimo location goes back more than 50 years. We offer friendly, professional dental services to families across the region. Dr. Sanjivan Mahara acheived his Doctor of Dental Medicine, DMD, degree at the University of British Columbia in 2004.
We take extreme pride in receiving unsolicited positive feedback from our patients. It's our mission and daily practice to achieve the highest standard of patient care and we love to talk about it and share that ideal. Thank you for the kind words of praise -we look forward to your next visit! My dentist, Dr. San Mahara, recently rescued another aging tooth that had a large chip break off.
Dr. Mahara and his team at Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group are proud to be very active supporters of community groups and events that help sponsor both local and international causes. Below, you'll find just a few of the ways in which the Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group team routinely contribute in the community.
Despite the high cost of courses, traveling with the team and selected patients to the training centres and taking time away from the office, Dr. Mahara and his team believe that advanced education is an investment in their patients well being that is well worth it. Dr. Mahara and his team of Nanaimo dental professionals pride themselves on treating each patient as a unique individual with a unique situation.
At Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group, we use digital x-ray technology when taking images of your mouth. However, unlike traditional imaging, digital x-rays possess many qualities that make it the more efficient, convenient, and safe technology. For the patient, the digital x-ray process is very similar to the traditional method.

What a calm respectful environment. My agenda/priorities and budget mattered to them. My dentist was wonderful. She gave me her finding and recommendations in a manner that was clear and easy to understand. I truly feel that my needs were valued and that as a team we would be successful in improving the likelihood of keeping my teeth longer and my mouth healthier. Genuinely a place worth trying out you will not be sorry.

I have a *huge* phobia of going to the dentist but my cleaning was quick and surprisingly painless. The front desk staff also knows their job very well and is great with handling insurance and such.

The staff at Downtown Nanaimo Dental group it the best I have ever experience. The hygienists give the most gentle and through cleanings I have ever had. They are also great with kids, my 4 year old daughter loves going to the dentist.
