General dental office in the Coppersmith plaza on Steveston Highway in south Richmond, currently taking new patients. Fillings and cleanings through to implants, root canals, Invisalign and emergency visits, with sedation available if needed.
Sedation is the detail worth flagging first, because a great many adults avoid dental care entirely out of anxiety and never find out it is an option. Knowing it exists changes the conversation before it starts. The general range around it is the usual one, running from cleanings and fillings at one end through to implants, root canals and clear aligners at the other, with emergency appointments handled alongside the scheduled work.
The office sits in the Coppersmith plaza on Steveston Highway, in the Ironwood part of south Richmond. That is the errand end of the city, built around driving to it: highway-facing plazas, the Ironwood retail cluster and a supermarket run all within a few minutes of each other. For a dental appointment that is genuinely convenient, because it attaches to the rest of a Saturday morning rather than needing a trip of its own. Transit out here is thinner than in the City Centre, so most people arrive by car.
Dental offices open and close their books as their schedules fill, and a practice with room today may have none in three months. Telephone sooner rather than later if you are looking, and ask specifically about direct billing if that matters to your household, since arrangements differ from one office to the next. Emergency access is the other thing to settle on the phone. What counts as an emergency slot varies a great deal, and the answer is worth having in advance rather than at eleven at night with a broken tooth.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
