Dr. Lance Schaefer, BSc., DDS
Dr. Lance Schaefer graduated from Dalhousie University in 2005. He began his career practicing dentistry in the Canadian Armed Forces until 2009 when he purchased a family practice in Oromocto, New Brunswick. In 2017, Dr. Schaefer and his family moved back home to Nova Scotia to raise their two children closer to family and friends. In 2019, he joined Basin View Family Dentistry and is excited to provide quality family dentistry for Bedford and surrounding areas. He grew up on the Atlantic Ocean and enjoys working in such a therapeutic setting on the Bedford basin.
He has wanted to be a dentist since childhood. He loves the profession and has volunteered on many committees and societies for organized dentistry, including the president of the Fredericton Dental Society, Fredericton Area Representative for the New Brunswick Dental Society and others. Dr. Schaefer is also committed to giving back to the community. He co-founded Smiles for Fredericton, an annual free dental day for patients that have limited access to oral health care. He is a life-long learner and spends many hours continuing his dental education in the areas of implants, sedation, endodontics (root canals) and surgery. He is an active member of the Nova Scotia Dental Association, Canadian Dental Association, East Coast Endodontic Study Club, Halifax County Dental Society and the Annapolis Valley Dental Society.
Outside of work he is a loving father of two. His favorite pass time is spending time with his young family and ever-growing extended family. He enjoys fine woodworking, biking, hiking, water sports and continues to educate himself on how to live a healthy lifestyle.
