Orthodontist for Albion and Kanaka Creek
One of the fastest-growing parts of Maple Ridge, and about 10 minutes from the clinic on Dewdney Trunk Road.
Getting to the clinic from Albion
Albion, in east Maple Ridge around 240th Street, Kanaka Creek and the Albion Sports Complex, has grown quickly with young families, which means a lot of children reaching orthodontic age at the same time. The clinic is about 6 to 8 kilometres west.
Driving: two routes. Dewdney Trunk Road west from 240th is a straight run to the clinic at 22971, about 10 minutes. Lougheed Highway west, then north on 232nd and left on Dewdney, is similar in time and avoids the school zones on Dewdney around 3 pm. From the Kanaka Creek and Jackson Road subdivisions, 240th north to Dewdney is the simplest.
Transit: routes 733 and 749 connect 240th Street with Haney Place, a 5-minute walk from the clinic.
Scheduling for Albion families
Samuel Robertson Technical, Albion Elementary, Kanaka Creek Elementary and Blue Mountain Elementary are all within a few minutes of the clinic. Many Albion parents book siblings back to back; the clinic will coordinate two children's adjustments into a single visit where the schedule allows. Practices at the Albion Sports Complex and Planet Ice fit around the last appointment of the day.
What Albion parents ask
- My 7-year-old's teeth are coming in crooked. Is it urgent? Usually not, but an assessment at 7 identifies the few children who benefit from guiding growth early. Recall visits are free. See what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
- My child snores and breathes through the mouth. Worth mentioning at any assessment; it is part of every evaluation at this clinic. See airway orthodontics.
- Two kids, one budget. Ask about family arrangements and how the insurance lifetime maximum applies per child. See cost and insurance.
