Dellas
Registered Dental Hygienist
Because good oral health contributes to good overall health, Dellas enjoys helping patients attain and maintain their optimum oral health … so they can smile with confidence. She loves to travel, read, learn, and research her geneology. Her dream is to write a novel (but don’t worry … she won’t use real names!).

Lucy has a lot of dental experience in different roles during her 26 years in dentistry. Her focus is quality and her health care philosophy is “give 100% always.” She loves to golf, travel, and spend time with family and friends.
Randeep
Registered Dental Hygienist
Born and raised in Surrey, Randeep left beautiful BC only to earn her Registered Dental Hygienist credentials at the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries Accredited Dental Hygiene Program. Returning to BC, Randeep chose Nanaimo as her home because she always wanted to raise a family here. She joined our team in 2014. As a dental hygienist, Randeep’s first priority is to help you reach your optimal oral health. Through non-judgmental oral hygiene instruction and a dedicated desire to see your healthy and happy smile, Randeep is committed to delivering a high quality of client-centred, gentle, and compassionate oral health care. Nothing makes her quite as happy as seeing a patient leave with a big, confident smile after having a treatment completed. Away from the practice, Randeep enjoys exploring new places and spending time with her husband Shaan and their daughter Nyah.
Kysa
Administration
Formerly from Calgary, Kysa moved to Vancouver Island in 2016 to be closer to family. An advocate for the regular dental checkups and cleanings that keep you healthy, helping you coordinate and understand your treatments is her first priority. Kysa is always eager to send predeterminations of benefits to your insurance company – and explain how your dental insurance can help you manage the financial aspects of your dental treatments. Because Kysa loves interacting with people, she finds that all aspects of her role at Bayview Dental are rewarding, from interacting with our patients and team, to seeing your happy smile when your treatment is complete. When she’s not helping our family of patients, Kysa enjoys painting, gardening, and paddle boarding – but her family (husband Justin and sons, Christopher and Alexander) think her biggest claim to fame is her baking!
Amber
Registered Dental Hygienist
Amber is most enthusiastic about getting to know our patients and their families. She provides dental education in a friendly, understanding way and is motivated to help everyone feel at ease during their visit. Amber completed her studies at Algonquin College in 2002. She decided to join our team because we’re like one big, welcoming family. Amber is married to Michael. Together they have two children. In her spare time, Amber enjoys cycling, weightlifting, reading, and writing music. She has a pet pug and a cat. Unique fact: Amber was in a band that opened for Our Lady Peace at the 2010 Olympic Games! Ask her about it.
