Dentists
Dental office inside CF Richmond Centre, open seven days a week so you can book around shopping or a Canada Line trip. General and emergency dentistry, root canals, implants, braces and Invisalign, and it takes most major insurance plans.
Emergency work sits alongside the routine list here: root canals, implants, braces and Invisalign, with most major insurance plans accepted. Richmond Central Dental Clinic operates from inside CF Richmond Centre on No. 3 Road, which is an unusual address for a dental practice and a deliberate one.
A clinic in a mall makes more sense in this city than it might elsewhere. A large share of the working population here is on shift schedules, in hospitality, in retail, and in the logistics operations around the airport and the warehouse belt. For those households, a practice that can be reached without carving a special trip out of the week removes an entire category of excuse, and dental problems are the ones people are best at postponing.
The station is the other half of the appeal. Brighouse sits directly beneath the mall, so the Canada Line puts you at the door without any of the usual Richmond negotiation over how to get somewhere. For anything urgent, phone before walking up, because emergency capacity depends on the day and nobody can tell you from a distance what the chair situation looks like this afternoon. For ongoing work, ask about insurance direct billing when you book. The answer decides one of two things: you pay the full amount up front and claim it back later, or you hand over a card at the end for the difference alone. That is a much better question before the treatment than after it.
In the Brighouse neighbourhood of Richmond.

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.
