Orthodontist in Port Haney, Maple Ridge

The clinic's own neighbourhood

Port Haney is the historic core of Maple Ridge, on the Fraser River below the downtown. myORTHODONTIST Maple Ridge sits just above it on Dewdney Trunk Road, at 22971, between 227th and 230th Street. From the Port Haney West Coast Express station and the wharf, walk north on 224th Street, cross Lougheed, continue up to Dewdney Trunk Road and turn east; it is roughly a kilometre and a bit, uphill on the way there and downhill home.

Driving and parking: a very short drive. Parking is in front of the building and along 230th Street.

Transit: Haney Place bus loop, the hub for every Maple Ridge route and the R3 RapidBus, is a short walk west along Dewdney Trunk Road.

Commuters

Port Haney residents who take the West Coast Express downtown can book the 8 am slot and still make a mid-morning train, or the last appointment of the day after the evening train arrives. Aligner patients are typically seen less often than braces patients, with remote monitoring in between, which suits commuters who would rather not leave work.

Schools and families

Students from Thomas Haney Secondary and Maple Ridge Secondary, both within walking distance, often come straight from school for a short adjustment visit. Glenwood and Eric Langton elementary families are a short drive.

Local questions

• Is there a difference between an orthodontist and the dental offices downtown that offer aligners? Several downtown dentists do good aligner work for straightforward cases. A certified specialist in orthodontics has completed a two to three year residency in tooth movement and treats orthodontic cases exclusively. See orthodontist or dentist for orthodontics?
• Can I walk in? The clinic works by appointment, but for a poking wire or loose bracket call first; the team will tell you whether it needs to be seen right away and find you the earliest available time. See emergencies and comfort care.
