“Dr John is a legend! His dental experience and innovation really make me feel comfortable in his chair, knowing I’m getting the most up to date services by someone with years of experience. I highly recommend Metral Dental.”

“I have had "dental anxiety" my entire life causing me to put off necessary work for years. My wife talked me into seeing Dr. John. He changed my attitude because of the technology in his office, which I had never seen, and because of his calm and gentle manner. I already booked another appointment for more work. Though I'd rather be at a beach I no longer dread going to the dentist.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Dr. John Christensen and the entire team at Metral Dental. I walked in with severe pain, and from the moment I arrived, everyone treated me with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Christensen looked me in the eye and confidently told me I would leave smiling—and he kept his word. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure, explaining everything clearly and making what could have been a stressful experience feel easy. It’s rare to find a dentist who combines exceptional skill with such compassion. If you’re nervous about dental work or looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Christensen and his amazing staff. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for giving me my smile back and for treating me with such respect and care. — Christopher Otorro”

“I had previously written a review of Metral Dental and Dr. John but didn't know if my name was included. I would like to reiterate that the staff are always welcoming and professional and have always been very happy with Dr. John's competent dentistry. Ted G.”

“Metral Dental is great. Friendly staff, great hygenists, and Dr. John is very knowledgeable and makes sure his work is done right. He took on my problem tooth and did a great job.”

“Finding a dentist you trust can be difficult, but I’m so glad I found Metral Dental. We currently live in Langford and come up to Metral Dental. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a huge smile from Cindy. Dr. John is attentive, and took the time to explain my treatment options without making me feel rushed. He also has some cool stories of his travels. Casey, the dental assistant is amazing, it’s always a pleasure to watch her work, she’s very efficient and attentive to my needs. Anne has been my hygienist every time I’ve come in for a cleaning and it seems to fly by. Ask her for the skittles or French vanilla chap stick, both are yummy. My husband is not a dentist fan but I don’t even have to push him to go to the dentist. See you guys in July!”

“Had a really good experience with Metral Dental. They treated me like family. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a new family dentist.”

“If you want a dentist who makes trips to the dentist not suck then go see Dr John! Not only is he good at what he does he’s a genuinely cool and interesting guy who makes it feel like you’re hanging out with a buddy while getting your teeth done. His staff are always so great with me, Casey his assistant is so gentle and kind and reassuring, Anne the hygienist doesn’t make me feel judged when telling me I “could floss more” and Cindy at the front desk is always so sunny and helpful. Honestly no one likes going to the dentist but since I have to go I’d rather come here than anywhere else.”

“Dr. John does excellent work! The staff is friendly and they were able to help me in a quick and kindly way.. This is the place to go to have all your dental needs taken care of!”

“I look forward to my visits from Vancouver. Dr John has carried on with the great care he's provided for decades. Today was my first cleaning with Makena and she was gentle kind and thorough. What a great way to end a weekend trip to visit family. Thank you Lisa and Cindy, for always bringing warmth and smiles to welcome me back. It's like a family here at Metral.”
