Thornhill sits right on Toronto's northern edge, split between Vaughan to the west of Yonge St and Markham to the east. Its historic village core along Yonge St, near Centre St and John St, sits alongside busy shopping areas such as the Promenade on Bathurst St and Centerpoint Mall at Yonge and Steeles.
Because Thornhill touches Steeles Ave, many residents already cross into Toronto every day. Our clinic is a short trip southeast. You can drive east along Steeles and come down Don Mills Rd, or take the subway from Finch station and switch to Line 4 at Sheppard-Yonge. Don Mills station is a short walk from our door. If you drive, free underground visitor parking is available. We offer family, restorative and cosmetic care, along with gum care from our registered specialist in periodontics. Weekday evening and Saturday hours make it easier to fit in a visit after school or work.
