- Biography
Dr. Sean Filan was born and raised in Victoria, BC. He grew up in Oak Bay where he graduated from Oak Bay High School. Knowing he wanted to work in health care and discovering a passion for working with his hands on fine woodwork in high school, Sean knew dentistry would be a perfect fit for his skills and interests.
Sean completed 3 years of Biochemistry, first at Camosun College in Victoria and then at the University of Alberta before being accepted to the College of Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan. During his dental education, Sean was fortunate to be the first dental student in Saskatchewan to do dentistry on a reserve. In his fourth year of training Sean worked on the Sandy Bay Indian Reserve in collaboration with Dental Therapy students. Sean completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2007.
Though, he loved the warmth of the people and the big skies of the prairies, Sean knew returning to his home and the outdoor lifestyle he so enjoyed was the right decision. After graduation Sean returned to Victoria to join Academy Dental. Sean considers himself lucky to have the opportunity to work in a dental practice with such a warm atmosphere, high standard of care, and an appetite for progression of technology in dentistry.
Sean also enjoys life outside of dentistry. In his free time Sean enjoys just about every outdoor activity he can experience. Sean’s biggest interests are playing and coaching baseball, sailing, yoga, supporting the Oilers, and getting out camping as often as he can.
Dr. Sean Filan recently completed the Advanced Functional and Neuromuscular Dentistry program under the world-renowned Dr. William Dickerson, Founder and CEO of LVI Global. While at LVI, Dr. Sean Filan underwent intensive training on how to evaluate, diagnose and treat restorative cases so that they will not only make patients look good, but feel better as well.

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.

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.
