Dear Dr Drance,

I wanted to thank you so very much for the kind and friendly way you have dealt with me as a new patient. As you know I have had a great deal of dental work done over the years with a large number of practitioners. I can safely say, you are by far the best dentist I have been to see. The work you have done for me is great. It has improved my smile 100% and is very comfortable. A visit to the dentist is not usually a pleasant or eagerly anticipated occurrence, but you and your staff made me less apprehensive and reluctant. You are a very kind, a patient soul and for that I thank you.

Over the years I have constantly awoken with painful to severe headaches... I have even had CAT scans and an MRI to determine the cause with no success...after you made my NTI appliance I was totally amazed when I awoke the first morning to realize that I didn't have a headache. However I wasn't totally convinced yet. After the second night and having the pleasure of waking up with no headache I was flabbergasted that after so many years I had finally been cured. Why no one had found this out before I have no idea!

Thank you so very much, I am indebted to you for life.

Are you tired of suffering from chronic headaches, facial pain, or migraines?
It has been discovered that most headache sufferers clench and grind their teeth at nighttime while they are sleeping. Dr. Drance was the first in Vancouver to use the elegant and small NTI device that has been successful in eliminating many people's suffering. We have been able to help about 80% of those clients who suffer from migraine headaches, which are difficult to treat, by reducing their symptoms.

Dr. Drance & Staff,

I just wanted to write to let you know that I've never in my life had such a wonderful experience at the dentist like I did this morning. Actually, it's strange to even say "wonderful experience" and "dentist" in the same sentence, hahaha! A brief and painless (painless is important!) 1 1/2 appointment for a root canal and a crown? Amazing... and I got to watch cartoons like I was a little kid again :)

Dr. Drance is brilliant - warm, funny and compassionate. All the staff at Downtown Dental are equally incredible and marvelous as well and they actually seem happy to be working there!! Thanks again to you, Doreen, for offering to stay till 5:30 yesterday so I could drop off my deposit... above and beyond what is required of you, especially since I am a new patient.

I am blown away by not only your level of customer service and friendliness with each patient but with the absolutely stunning work done by Dr. Drance. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to give you a call should they require a dentist. This appointment today has solidified my decision to become a life long patient of Dr. Drance and Downtown Dental.

Once again, thank you so very much for fixing my tooth and for changing my mind about a dentist appointment. Sad to say but I'm looking forward to my Dec 9th appointment now, hahaha!

Thank you so very much,
Erin Moor

Dr Drance,

As you know I was not happy with the shape and colour of my teeth, and the previous dental veneers were not that attractive, but I was not aware that anything else could have been done.

I talked to several dentists before meeting you. I like your practical straightforward approach and being able to see how my smile could look ahead of time on the computer and wax models. As you can imagine I was a little apprehensive at the start of the extensive treatment. Once I started to see the results, I was immediately at ease and confident in your ability. When we were finished, I was absolutely thrilled with my new smile. I never imagined how white and straight they could be! I know I that I smile much more, and am proud rather than reluctant for people to see my teeth.

Thanks again, and if anyone wants to talk to me about the experience, please have them call.

see you soon.

My name is Royle Smith.

Over the years I have had extensive dental work performed by several dentists. Prior to visiting Dr. Drance, I would rather have needles poked in my eyes than suffer the pain and discomfort that the previous dentists had inflicted upon me. Dr Drance capped ten of my teeth on the one occasion, and I never experienced one moment of pain or discomfort in any way shape or form, even from the initial needles given when freezing.

Dr. Drance has removed all the anxiety and stress from my dental needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Drance to anyone.

To Whom it may concern,

re "The Miracle of Mouth Guards"
... I started to wake each day with unbearable headaches down the side of my face and temples. It got so bad I went to the doctor, not realizing that the pain in my face was caused from grinding... When I went to see Dr. Drance, he fitted me with a new mouth guard that did not allow me to grind and clench. Within a matter of days, my headaches were gone and I was free of pain. Every night before bed I put in my mouth guard and to this day, have yet to receive one headache from grinding... I praise Dr. Drance for continually advising of the consequences and benefits.

Thank you.

Do your gums bleed when brushing or flossing?
Gum disease is likely the most common chronic infection in our body. Incorporating Laser Gum therapy into our therapy can reduce the need for costly and uncomfortable gum surgery.

Dear Michael,

I am writing this short note to express my thanks for the excellent care I have recently received from you. As you know the work that you performed had been attempted unsuccessfully by two other dentists in the past few years. You ability to remedy a lifelong condition through the installation of inlays that prevent the accumulation of food and therefore discomfort has brought me a great deal of relief and peace of mind.

Dear Dr Drance,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the wonderful work you did on my teeth. I still can't believe the difference you made in my smile with those beautiful crowns and veneers. The other dentists I went to see all suggested the same thing, namely painful and time-consuming surgery to even out my gum line. None of them had the common sense or professional knowledge that it wasn't my gum line, it was my smile line.

I'm so thankful that I decided to try one last dentist and found your office. I can't thank you enough for the change you have made in my appearance and the extra confidence this has given me in my professional life. I have recommended you to my friends and clients... If anyone wants to call me, they are welcome to do so.

Gratefully,
Eleanora Corvin

Dear Michael,

I wanted to let you know that my front crowns are still in great shape. I think that it must have been about 10 years since you did them. I am still amazed at the difference it has made in my smile, which is very important working in the fashion industry. I can't believe that my other dentists never suggested crowns could make such a change, so I wanted to thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Sincerely,
Ted Kakino

Dear Friends,

Just wanted to say thank you for all your great work, you have changed the way I feel about the dentist and even hygienists. The improvement upon my daily life is a great, also in my health and appearance, just to name a few. It has been expensive, but worth every penny... You are all a credit to dentistry... Thank you from Emma and myself.

Sincerely,
Shane Hunter

Dear Dr. Drance,

I have to tell you that I am still receiving many compliments on my smile. The veneers that you put in eight years ago still look fabulous. I am so pleased that you told me it was possible to improve the appearance of my teeth so easily.

Thanks again for the gentle treatment and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Gail Kinkaid

Dear Dr Drance, Danja and Trudy,

The three of you are my new standard for professional services... the crowning touch of being a lucky patient at this office is that, not only is the entire staff extraordinarily personable, they are without a doubt the most skilled dental staff I have ever encountered. Thank you for being so caring, skilled, and just plain fabulous. I consider myself very, very fortunate to have found you. John says ditto to everything I have said.

Kindest regards,
Beth and John Mac Dougall
