Dentists
Long-running general practice on Steveston Highway, open since 1973, handling exams, fillings, crowns, root canals and bridges. Also does whitening, veneers, periodontics and implants, so most work stays in-house instead of being referred out.
Transferring dental records is worth doing before you need to, rather than during an emergency on a Sunday. The practical question with any practice is how much stays in house. This one on Steveston Highway covers routine work along with crowns, root canals, bridges, whitening, veneers, periodontics and implants, which is a wide enough range that most treatment does not have to be referred elsewhere. That is the difference between one appointment and three, and it is worth asking about directly.
Steveston Highway is one of the arterials carrying the south side of Richmond east to west, running from the village end across to the highway interchanges. It is a driving street rather than a strolling one, so this is a practice you reach by car or by bus rather than one you wander past. That suits the catchment. The south side of the city is low-rise and residential, and long-established practices out here tend to serve families across more than one generation.
Longevity in a dental practice counts for something, though it is not the same as a recommendation and nobody should mistake one for the other. Three things are worth establishing before you move: whether they are taking new patients, which procedures actually happen on site, and how billing works with your insurance. Ask all three in the same phone call. It takes ten minutes and saves the far more annoying discovery halfway through a treatment plan.

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.
