Saturday and Evening Dental Visits in Aurora

Our weekly hours

Our clinic at 676 Wellington Street East in Aurora is open six days a week. The two late evenings and the Saturday morning are there for people who can't easily leave work or school during the day.

• Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Tuesday and Thursday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Saturday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Sunday: closed

Is there a dentist open Saturday near you?

If you have searched for a dentist open Saturday, you already know weekend times can be hard to find. Our Saturday hours run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. That leaves room for morning sports, an afternoon at the park or the drive home to Newmarket, East Gwillimbury or Richmond Hill.

A Saturday visit works well for checkups, cleanings and first visits, when you want time to ask questions without watching the clock. Parents often like it because children don't miss class. Saturday times are in steady demand, so the more notice you give us, the more choice you will usually have.

Evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays

If you need a dentist open late in Aurora, our Tuesday and Thursday hours run until 7 p.m. That can be enough time to drive in after a day shift, a commute on the GO Barrie line or a class at college.

Evening visits suit people who prefer to keep their weekends open. They also help when treatment needs more than one appointment, since you can plan each step for the same weekday evening. Tell us your usual finishing time, and we'll suggest times that leave a little buffer for traffic.

How to ask for a weekend or evening time

When you send a request through our website or call 289-475-5497, say that you would like a Saturday or evening time. If you can, give us two or three options that work for you. We'll contact you to confirm a time. We can't promise a particular slot, but we will tell you honestly what is open and offer the nearest choices.

If you are booking for more than one person, let us know. We can look for times close together so the family makes one trip.

What you can do in a shorter visit

Most routine care fits easily into a Saturday or evening appointment. That includes exams, cleanings with our hygienists, digital X-rays and many fillings. Longer treatment, such as a crown or a root canal, may need a longer booking. Your dentist will explain how the work can be split up and what each visit involves.

Before any treatment, you get a written estimate. Insurance claims go straight to your plan, and we also accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).

Why it helps not to wait for a quiet week

Busy months have a way of turning into busy years. The Canadian Dental Association says the right time between exams depends on your own needs, such as your history of cavities or gum disease, your health and your habits. Your dentist will suggest how often to come back.

Small problems found early are often simpler to treat. The Ontario Dental Association notes that regular checkups and early treatment can reduce costs, while putting care off can make it more expensive. An evening or weekend time can help you stay on track.

If a tooth hurts while we're closed

We're closed on Sundays and outside the hours above. If you have dental pain, call 289-475-5497 and follow the instructions on our line. If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, or you have a serious injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
