Richvale is in southwest Richmond Hill, between Yonge St and Bathurst St, around Carrville Rd and 16th Ave. It is a mature, leafy neighbourhood of family homes, with the Richvale Library on Carrville Rd and Hillcrest Mall just to the east on Yonge St.
Because Richvale is on the west side of Richmond Hill, Yonge St is often the most useful link for reaching us without a car. Viva Blue runs south to Finch station, and from there the subway takes you to Sheppard-Yonge and east on Line 4 to Don Mills station, close to our clinic. If you drive, Hwy 407 connects across to Hwy 404, or you can use Yonge St and Steeles Ave if you want to avoid tolls. Our team offers check-ups, fillings, dentures and implants, and gum care from a registered periodontist. Free underground visitor parking is available, and we are open Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm.
