Hello, I’m Dr. Nadia Stymiest, owner of Nanaimo Smiles and Ladysmith Smiles.

You will step into a busy, established schedule replacing a relocating senior associate who produced over $100,000 per month. Our privately owned, family-run clinics are modern, fully staffed, and supported by a strong hygiene program, allowing you to focus on providing excellent dentistry.

Our clinics are privately and family owned — not corporate — allowing dentists real clinical autonomy and a supportive, collaborative environment.

You will join a team of dentists across two modern, fully staffed practices focused on delivering exceptional, accessible dental care to patients of all ages.

Since founding Ladysmith Smiles in September 2021 and opening Nanaimo Smiles in January 2022, we have built practices centred around high-quality dentistry, modern technology, and a positive team culture.

I personally look forward to getting to know you.
