Meet The Doctors

Dr. Shane Francis

Dr. Danielle Wiese

Dr. Shane Francis founded Royal Bay Dental Co. in 2023 with a simple but powerful goal — to create a dental experience that feels different: warm, welcoming, and truly focused on the patient.
With over 13 years of clinical experience, Dr. Francis has trained at the prestigious Kois Center, a world leader in advanced dental education. His passion for dentistry goes hand in hand with his love for building strong, supportive teams.
Today, Dr. Francis no longer sees patients directly. Instead, he devotes his time to leading and mentoring the practice’s talented associate dentists, Dr. Wiese and Dr. Vejdani. By sharing his experience and providing ongoing guidance, he ensures that every patient at Royal Bay Dental Co. receives exceptional care, the latest in modern dentistry, and the thoughtful, personal attention they deserve.
Dr. Wiese strives for her patients to feel their dental home at Royal Bay Dental Co. is comfortable, safe and enjoyable. She deeply values getting to know people of all ages and from all walks of life, meeting them where they’re at and improving their oral health along the way.
She received both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees at the University of Alberta. She graduated with awards for having the highest ability in operative dentistry and fixed prosthodontics, the most superior demonstrated achievement in periodontics, and leadership. Dr. Wiese is a self-described ‘sponge’ for continuing education on the evolving field of dentistry. She has pursued additional training in areas such as direct restorations, root canal procedures, esthetics and neuromodulators (“cosmetic injections”). Volunteering with Access for All Dentistry and SHINE Dentistry for many years, she’s provided free dental care to create meaningful health improvements for underserved populations. In April 2024, Dr. Wiese moved to Vancouver Island and is eager to get involved with similar local initiatives (if you’re reading this, she’d love to connect!). Growing up in rural southern Alberta has given Dr. Wiese a strong connection to outdoor activity and nature. She currently spends her free time regularly paddleboarding, gardening and exploring new trails. Outside of work, she’s happiest atop a ski hill or doing watersports.
Dr. Wiese’s commitment to her patients means you will always be met with warmth, and your questions or concerns are heard, answered and addressed. She looks forward to seeing you soon.
Dr. Riaz Vejdani is a dedicated and compassionate dentist committed to providing high-quality dental care to patients of all ages. He began his academic journey at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver before traveling to Australia to pursue his passion for dentistry. He earned his dental degree from Griffith University Dental School, where he mastered his clinical skills and deepened his expertise in comprehensive patient care.
With a strong focus on restorative dentistry, root canal treatments, and a special interest in oral surgery—including wisdom tooth extractions—Dr. Vejdani combines precision and care to ensure the best outcomes for his patients. He believes in fostering strong patient relationships built on trust, personalized care, and open communication. Whether helping patients maintain optimal oral health or restoring confidence through transformative treatments, he is dedicated to creating a comfortable and positive dental experience for everyone.
Outside the office, Dr. Vejdani enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing musical instrument, and staying active in professional dental associations to stay at the forefront of advancements in dentistry.
Dr. Vejdani looks forward to welcoming you to Royal Bay Dental Clinic and helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile!
