About us
Nestled in Braeside since 1969, Southland Dental Centre has been a cornerstone of family dental health care. Founded by Dr. Alec Pedersen and Dr. Brian Weeks, the practice has fostered enduring relationships across generations, dedicated to enhancing and preserving smiles.

Becoming a dentist was a natural path for Dr. Sean Pedersen, shaped by the proud example of his father who dedicated himself to easing others' discomfort and bringing smiles to their faces. Working meticulously with his hands brings Sean fulfillment, especially when he’s able to alleviate pain or enhance someone's well-being through a brighter smile or improved health.
Exploring the intricacies of dental materials and integrating cutting-edge technology fuels Dr. Pedersen’s passion for continual learning and innovation in our practice. Each day, he strives to blend artistry with science to deliver transformative dental care that exceeds expectations and fosters lasting smiles.
Outside of the office, Sean loves to spend time with his family and dog in all manner of outdoor pursuits from skiing, walking, hiking, mountain biking and motorbiking to tennis and golf.
