Three dentists. One neighbourhood.
Led by co-owners Dr. Keely Matheson and Dr. Jessica Metcalfe — two Boston University classmates who built this practice together — alongside Dr. Ann Lu.
Bowker Creek Dental is a neighbourhood practice in Oak Bay — three dentists, a full hygiene team, and a conservative, unhurried approach to care. We listen first, recommend only what you truly need, and try to make every visit the easiest part of your day.
Bowker Creek Dental takes its name from the small urban waterway that threads through Victoria — once buried, now slowly daylit back into view. The bridge in our mark is a crossing; a quiet piece of civic infrastructure that connects one side of a neighbourhood to the other. That’s how we think about our practice, too.
Dental visits can be daunting. We’re committed to open, empathetic conversation — your concerns matter, and we’re here to listen first.
A close-knit team working together for superior care. When you choose us, you become a valued part of the practice — and benefit from our collective experience.
We take our responsibility as healthcare providers seriously, staying current with evidence-based dentistry so every recommendation is honest and considered.
Our clinic is warm, bright, and unhurried — with local art, lush plants, and a couple of friendly dogs who help make visits feel a little less clinical.
General, cosmetic, and restorative care for patients of every age — from a first visit at four to a full-mouth reconstruction at sixty-four. We tailor every plan to your timeline, your budget, and your mouth.
A full assessment of teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissue — the foundation we build every treatment plan on.

Three treatment rooms, four hygiene rooms, one careful team. You’ll find local art on the walls, lush greenery throughout, and the occasional friendly dog underfoot — part of the practice’s working weather.
Behind the scenes: digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and a sterilisation program we’re genuinely proud of. Every tool in service of the same goal — precise, comfortable, conservative care.

Yes. We submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. We discuss fees before any treatment begins, a written estimate is always available, and we offer payment plans for larger treatment. Our office and financial policy.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive exam of 60 to 90 minutes: teeth, gums, bite, jaw joint and soft tissue, digital X-rays as needed, an oral cancer screening and gum charting. You leave with a plain-language plan, with costs and priorities. More about comprehensive exams.
Yes, from their first tooth, at the same practice as the rest of the family. Early visits are short and low-stakes, and parents are welcome in the room. More about children’s dentistry.
Dental anxiety is common. You can start with a short no-treatment consult: walk through the office, meet the team and talk about what makes appointments hard for you. We’ll go over sedation options that suit your procedure. More about sedation dentistry.
Gentle, honest dentistry in the heart of Oak Bay. We’ll take it from here.
