Emergencies
We are now open for walk-in emergencies. If possible, please contact us in advance by telephone or email before visiting – it will save your time and ours. When arriving for unscheduled emergency treatment, please be here at 9 am or 2 pm and be prepared to wait, space allowed.
We do not answer calls outside of our normal business hours. Please leave a message if you want to make an appointment.
If you have an after-hours dental emergency and are experiencing severe uncontrolled bleeding, swelling or pain you should contact the BC Dental Association at 604-736-7202 for an alternate dentist recommendation or go to your nearest 24-hour emergency facility.
