When does Renfrew Family Dental open?
Early 2027, at 2577 Renfrew Street in East Vancouver. Join the opening list and we'll email you the moment booking opens.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Every patient here is a new patient, and whole families are welcome. The opening list gets first access to appointment times.
Do you accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Yes, we participate in the CDCP. If you're not sure whether you or your kids qualify, ask us and we'll help you check.
Do you bill insurance directly?
Yes. We submit claims for you and you pay only your portion at the visit, with a written estimate before any treatment starts.
What if I don't have insurance?
You'll get written pricing before any treatment starts, and honest advice about what needs doing now versus what can wait.
Do you see children?
Yes, all ages. We recommend a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth, and we book whole families together.
What languages do you speak?
Care in English, with Mandarin and Cantonese spoken when it helps, including for paperwork and insurance questions.
Will you have evening or weekend appointments?
Yes. Saturdays are part of the schedule from day one, plus a limited number of evening slots each week. Sundays aren't planned.
What makes the clinic 'modern'?
Everything is being bought new in 2026: intraoral scanners instead of putty impressions, low-dose digital X-rays, and an in-house 3D printer for night guards, models, and surgical guides.
Do you offer sedation?
Yes, including IV sedation for longer procedures and serious dental anxiety. It's planned in advance with a consult, and we'll walk you through how it works when you book.
What should I do about a dental emergency before you open?
Contact your current dentist, call HealthLink BC at 811, or go to the nearest emergency department for severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial trauma. Once we open, same-day emergency appointments are part of the schedule.
Where exactly are you located?
2577 Renfrew Street at East 10th Avenue, in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood of East Vancouver, a short walk from Renfrew SkyTrain Station on the Millennium Line and right on the 16 Renfrew bus route.
Is there a dentist near Renfrew SkyTrain Station?
Yes. Renfrew Family Dental is opening in early 2027 at 2577 Renfrew Street, a short walk from Renfrew Station on the Millennium Line, with a parkade in our building for anyone driving.
