Family Dentist near Newmarket
One dental home for everyone in your Newmarket household, a short drive south on Wellington Street East in Aurora.
The short answer
If you want a Newmarket family dentist who can see the whole household, Aurora Gateway Dental Care is just south of town at 676 Wellington Street East in Aurora. Take Yonge Street or Bayview Avenue south to Wellington, or Leslie Street south and turn west. The drive is about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic.
Why Newmarket patients come to Aurora
A Newmarket family dentist does not have to be inside the town line. Plenty of families north of us already cross into Aurora for hockey at one rink, swimming at another, or a weekend shop on Wellington. When three or four people need checkups, a clinic on a road you already drive can be easier to manage than one you have to plan a special trip for.
Our hours help with that. We stay open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, so school-age kids and working parents can often come outside class and office time. Parking is free at the door, which matters when you are walking in with a toddler and a car seat. Our team speaks English, Farsi, Tamil and Tagalog, and we bill all insurance plans directly, along with the CDCP and IFHP.
What a family dentist near Newmarket looks after
Family dentistry is ongoing care for people of every age, kept in one chart per person under one roof. In a single household that might mean sealants for a seven-year-old, a cracked filling for a parent, and sore spots under a grandparent's denture. Our general dentists handle that everyday range: exams, cleanings with our hygienists, fillings, crowns, root canal treatment, gum care and dentures.
Because we see your relatives too, small patterns are easier to notice. Heavy wear from grinding, early gum problems and cavities between the back teeth can show up in several members of one family.
Planning visits for a busy household
The hardest part of family dental care is usually the calendar, not the chair. A few habits make it easier.
- Ask for times on the same day when you call, and we will see what is open
- Book evening or Saturday times a few weeks ahead, since they are popular
- Keep each person's insurance, CDCP or IFHP details handy when you book
- Write down questions for each family member before you arrive
When one family member needs more than a checkup
If an exam finds something, that person gets their own written treatment plan and estimate before anything starts. A child's cavity, a parent's crown and a grandparent's new denture are each explained separately, so you can decide what to do first. If someone needs care that is better done in another office, such as a complex surgery, we explain the referral and why.

Questions
We already have a dentist in Newmarket. How do we switch?
Call us or use the form on this page with each person's name and coverage. You can ask your current office to send recent X-rays and records, which may save repeating some of them. There is no need to switch everyone at once.
Can our whole family come on the same Saturday?
Tell us who needs a visit and we will check what Saturday times are open. Saturdays fill quickly with families from Newmarket and Aurora, so booking a few weeks ahead gives you the most choice.
Is the drive from Newmarket worth it for routine checkups?
For many families it is about the same as crossing Newmarket at rush hour. If your work, school or activities already bring you into Aurora, it can be simpler. If not, a clinic closer to home may suit you better, and that is a fair choice.
Do you see grandparents with dentures as well as young children?
Yes. We see children from their very first visit, and we care for older adults with dentures, gum concerns and dry mouth. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, which many older adults now qualify for; check canada.ca for current rules.
How do you handle different insurance plans in one family?
Each person is billed to their own plan, whether that is a work plan, CDCP or IFHP. Our front desk sets each one up separately. If a family member has no coverage at all, our in-house dental plan or student program may help; ask us for details.
