Personal Information

- Biography
Dr. Sue Stakiw has finally found her way to Victoria after having lived and practiced dentistry in Montreal, Chicago, and St. Louis. Her husband's medical training and specialty practice has given them the opportunity to enjoy these cities, but they are happy to have finally settled here with their two children, Nicole and Jamie.
Sue is a 1994 graduate of the University of Western Ontario Dental School and she was the recipient of the Pierre Fauchard Academy Award in Oral Medicine in her senior year. She was also a clinical instructor in restorative dentistry at McGill and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Sue has volunteered in the Solomon Islands with Youth Challenge International where she perfected the art of extracting teeth while dodging falling coconuts (she has the pictures to prove it!).
In 2009, Dr. Stakiw was designated a "preferred provider" for Invisalign which is allocated to dentists that complete a required number of Invisalign cases and have completed a required number of continuing education hours in this area of dentistry.
Closer to home, Sue is a member of the Victoria and District Dental Society and in her spare time loves to spend time with her family, watching the Edmonton Oilers get closer to a Stanley Cup, and playing tennis.

Anaesthesia & Oral Sedation
As an adjunct to the stress free atmosphere of our office, we also offer sedation dentistry for any patient who suffers from dental anxiety or has a phobia.
Whether you are afraid of the needle, the sound of the drill incites terror or you just feel that dentistry is too painful, many consider this option to have their dental needs met. Sedation dentistry has been used safely in millions of dental procedures. Any procedure can be completed while you are sedated and most people choose to take care of everything in as little as two appointments. Many times it is as simple as just taking a pill prior to your appointment. If you have been hiding your smile, putting up with pain, or putting off going to the dentist because of dental phobia, it's time to make a positive change in your life. Take care of yourself first, make the call and enjoy the benefits of a healthy mouth and smile.

Patient Information Form. If this is your first visit with us, print this form at home and fill it out ahead of time, that way when you come in you won't have to fill out a bunch of forms!
Missed & Cancelled Appointments
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify us at least two business days in advance. This will allow us to schedule other patients awaiting treatment. If less than two business days notice is given, a $100 fee will be assessed to your account and is payable prior to or at your next appointment.
Payment Options
We expect payment in full at the time of treatment. For your convenience, we offer several payment options:
- Cash
- Debit Card
- Credit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, or American Express
- Medicard (a third party financing company with 0% financing options. The dental office--in this case us--absorbs any interest costs)
Insurance
We will work with your insurance company to determine your estimated co-payment amount for your treatment plan before treatment even begins so there will be no big surprises. We will be happy to process your insurance claim so you pay only an estimated co-payment at the time of treatment. Learn more about how insurance works.
Please bring your insurance information with you on your first visit.
