For Markham patients making the trip west
Markham is across the 404 from us, so you have closer options. Here's what our office offers if you'd like to make the drive.
Lilac Family Dentistry is about 20 to 25 km by road from central Markham, at 4430 Bathurst St, Suite 509, in North York. Driving via Highway 404 and Highway 401 usually takes 25 to 40 minutes. By transit, connect from YRT or Viva to the subway, ride to Sheppard-Yonge, then take the 84 Sheppard West bus to Bathurst.

Markham spreads from Steeles Avenue up past Major Mackenzie, with heritage main streets in Unionville and Markham Village and newer communities around Markham Centre. It has one of the largest Chinese-Canadian communities in the country, and Mandarin and Cantonese are heard in shops from Pacific Mall to Markville.
If you live in Markham, there are dental offices nearer to you. People who choose us anyway usually have a specific reason. Some started with Dr. Maralani before moving to Markham. Others work in North York or midtown and find our Tuesday and Thursday evening hours easier than a weekday visit near home.
Dr. Sayeh Maralani provides the full range of general dentistry under one roof, from children's first visits to crowns and bridges. Adults often ask about Invisalign, which we plan with an iTero digital scan, and about veneers in composite, E.max or zirconia.
Getting here from Markham
By car
Take Highway 404 south to Highway 401 west. Exit at Bathurst Street and drive north past Wilson Avenue to just above Sheppard Avenue West. 4430 Bathurst St is on the right, with a free parking lot. From Thornhill-side Markham, Steeles Avenue west to Bathurst, then south, also works.
By transit
Take a YRT or Viva bus to Finch station or a Line 4 Sheppard station. Ride the subway to Sheppard-Yonge, then the 84 Sheppard West bus west to Bathurst Street. Use the YRT and TTC trip planners to plan the connection from your stop.
Tip: Rush hour on the 401 can double the drive. Plan for a midday visit or a Tuesday or Thursday evening slot.
We're in Suite 509 on the 5th floor of 4430 Bathurst St. Both elevators in the lobby go to the 5th floor. Several other dental offices share this building, so look for Suite 509. Free parking behind the building, including wheelchair-accessible spaces.
