Dr. Arnie Johnson

"One of the most important things about how a person feels about themselves is their smile, and to take someone who is self conscious about their teeth and transform their smile restores their self esteem and self confidence. "

"That's why I love what I do!"

Dr. Arnie Johnson graduated in 1974 from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Dentistry. He is an active member of the College of Dental Surgeons, the B.C. Dental Association, The International Association for Orthodontics I.A.O. and Academy of Orthodontics A.A.O.

Dr. Johnson was mentored by Dr. Bill Blatchford, now with the Las Vegas Institute (L.V.I.) of Cosmetic Dentistry, along with on-going Continuing Education and training which has afforded him the ability to maintain diversification and understanding of all areas of dentistry, from growth and development to the latest restorative techniques and materials.

Dr. Johnson is the founder of the Shaughnessy Dental Group and he and his staff dedicate themselves to listen to and provide our patients with the highest standards of dental care possible. He enjoys spending time in the great outdoors, fishing, hiking, skiing and playing golf but when he gets a chance to really get away from the office you'll find him sailing with a big smile.

Dr. Bastiaan Verheyen

"I realize that coming to the dentist causes anxiety for a lot of people, but I always try my hardest to calm those fears while providing the best treatment possible."

Bastiaan Verheyen joined the Shaughnessy Dental team after relocating to the lower mainland from Vancouver Island. As a graduaute of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Dentistry, Dr. Verheyen shares a similar philosophy in patient care as Dr. Johnson. Restoring function and esthetics are important aspects of this philosophy.

Dr. Verheyen's dental interests include treating children, restorative dentistry requiring crown and bridge prosthodontics, and continues education in placement and restoration of dental implants.

Outside of the dental office, Dr. Verheyen can be found skiing on the local mountains, or playing soccer for the local clubs. Dr. Verheyen also enjoys travelling and he has spent some time abroad.

Shaughnessy Dental is accepting new patients. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Verheyen look forward to meeting you in the future!
