Willowdale East stretches from Yonge Street to Bayview Avenue, and over the past 25 years it has become one of the densest parts of North York. Glass condo towers line Yonge and Sheppard around Empress Walk, while quieter streets of detached homes run east toward Bayview.
Many residents are newcomers and young professionals, and Mandarin, Korean and Persian are spoken widely. A lot of people here commute downtown on Line 1, so evening appointments matter. We're open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Patients from Willowdale East often come to us about jaw clenching from desk-bound workdays, wisdom teeth that have started to ache, or straightening their smile with Invisalign. Our team can talk you through options in English, Farsi, Russian or Ukrainian.
