Our Team

Dr. Victor Chan

Dentist

Dr. Chan grew up in Richmond and attended The University of British Columbia. After receiving his Dental Hygiene diploma in 2006 and Bachelors degree in Dental Science in 2008, Dr. Chan started his dental career in dental hygiene. As well, he taught and mentored students in the UBC Dental Hygiene program, which he found very enjoyable. Eventually, Dr. Chan found his calling to become a dentist, and subsequently received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from The University of Sydney in Australia. During his time there, he also went overseas regularly for dental volunteer trips in the Philippines.

Upon returning to Canada, Dr. Chan started his practice with rotations between Vancouver and Fort McMurray. Then the lure of the Whistler mountains beckoned, where he spent a year living and practicing there. After a year in Whistler, he decided to return to the city to be closer to family and friends. Dr. Chan’s goal is to create and foster a safe, warm environment, to listen and understand patients’ needs, and to develop treatment-plan for life-long optimal oral care. He values making patients feel at ease with open communication and empowers them with education on preventive care. Dr. Chan enjoys taking continuing education courses to further expand his field of expertise and knowledge. His favourite aspects in dentistry include Restorative, Clear Aligner Therapy, Socket preservation, and Implants. Outside the clinic, Dr. Chan enjoys working on cars and weekend indoor-kart racing. As well, he brings his Subaru STI to race tracks for open lap days. He’s also keen on running, where he competed in a half-marathon in Australia during dental school.
