Looking for the best dentist on the Danforth? Toronto’s east end has one of the densest stretches of dental care in the city — more than a dozen practices between Broadview and Victoria Park — so “best” really means best for you: close to home, open when you are, and offering the treatment you actually need. This guide ranks 8 of the best-rated dentists on Danforth Avenue by their public Google ratings, checked in September 2026. We publish it ourselves, so we start with our own practice at Woodbine & Danforth and give you our honest reasons — then show every other clinic’s real numbers, unedited, including the practices rated higher than us.

1. Woodbine & Danforth Dental Care — the best dentist at Woodbine & Danforth
2107 Danforth Avenue, Toronto (East York) · 4.8★ (128 Google reviews) · 416-696-1800 · at Woodbine & Danforth, steps from Woodbine station
We’re proud to be one of the best-loved family dental practices on the east Danforth. Led by Dr. Samira Hossain, our team has looked after Danforth and East York families since 2013, earning a 4.8-star average across 128 Google reviews from patients who value gentle, unhurried, judgment-free care. Here’s why local families make us their dental home:
- A genuinely local practice, right at Woodbine & Danforth. We’re at 2107 Danforth Avenue — a short walk from Woodbine subway station on Line 2, with street and Green P parking nearby, and easy to reach from Danforth Village, Greektown, Riverdale, East York and the Upper Beaches.
- Serving the Danforth since 2013. Families have chosen us for more than a decade, and a large share of our patients come from word-of-mouth referrals and return year after year. You can read them in their own words on our patient stories page.
- Everything under one roof. General and family checkups, cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, crowns, root canal therapy, implants, dentures, whitening, full smile makeovers and emergency dental care — so you rarely need to be referred elsewhere. See the full list on our Danforth dental services page.
- Evening and Saturday appointments. We’re open weekdays 10 AM–7 PM and Saturdays 9 AM–5 PM, so dental care fits around work and school.
- New patients welcome — no referral needed. If you’ve just moved to the neighbourhood or you’re between dentists, you can book directly.
- Costs in writing, before we start. We check your insurance or CDCP coverage and quote your treatment before anything begins — no surprises on the way out.
- Comfort-first, judgment-free dentistry. Nervous patients and busy families alike tell us they feel genuinely listened to, and we explain your options clearly before we begin.
Ready to book? Call 416-696-1800 or visit our contact page to schedule your visit with Dr. Hossain and the team.
The other practices along the Danforth are listed in the comparison table above with their location and publicly displayed review figures only. We have not written up or ranked the quality of their care — the right choice depends on the treatment you need, which end of the Danforth you are on, and who is taking new patients. The guidance below is written to help you weigh them yourself.
About this guide — how we chose, and a transparency note
Being upfront matters, so here’s exactly how this guide works:
- Who publishes it. This guide is written and published by Woodbine & Danforth Dental Care. We feature our own practice first because we believe in the care we provide and we’ve given you our honest reasons — but you should know we’re one of the clinics on this page.
- How the rest are ordered. Every other practice (clinics 2–8) is ordered by its public Google star rating as checked on 13 September 2026, with review count as the tie-breaker. Those are independent practices we don’t control.
- Real numbers only. Every rating and review count is taken from each practice’s public Google profile and is shown unedited — including the five practices whose Google rating is higher than ours. We’d rather earn your trust than hide the numbers.
- No paid placement. No clinic paid, and none could pay, to be included or positioned, and we don’t earn anything if you choose another practice.
- Scope. General and family dental practices on Danforth Avenue with an established review history; specialty-only and paediatric-only offices are outside the scope of this list.
What the numbers can’t capture: your insurance coverage, the specific treatment you need, accessibility, languages spoken, and whether a clinic is taking new patients. In keeping with Canada’s Competition Act and the Competition Bureau’s guidance on online reviews, all figures here are genuine and verifiable. Ratings change — please confirm current numbers on Google before choosing.
Dentists on the Danforth by intersection — Broadview to Victoria Park
Danforth Avenue runs roughly 7 km across Toronto’s east end, and Line 2 puts a subway station every few blocks. For most people the practical question isn’t “who is the best dentist in Toronto” — it’s “which good dentist is nearest my stop”. Here is how the eight practices in this guide spread along the strip:
- Broadview & Danforth (west end / Greektown): Dentistry On Danforth, 249 Danforth Ave.
- Pape & Danforth: Danforth Neighbourhood Dental Centre, 643 Danforth Ave.
- Coxwell & Danforth: Danforth Dental Care (Dr. Maureen Fenn), 1411 Danforth Ave, and Danforth Dental, 1474 Danforth Ave.
- Woodbine & Danforth: Woodbine & Danforth Dental Care, 2107 Danforth Ave — the only practice in this guide at the Woodbine intersection, and the one nearest Woodbine station.
- Main Street & Danforth: DentiSmile Dental Centre, 2315 Danforth Ave, and D on D Dental (Main), 2330 Danforth Ave.
- Victoria Park & Danforth (east end): Family Health Centre Dental, 3003 Danforth Ave.
If you live in East York, Danforth Village, Woodbine Heights, Greenwood–Coxwell or the Upper Beaches, the middle-to-east stretch — Coxwell through Main Street — will almost always be your shortest trip.
Which dentists on the Danforth are open evenings and Saturdays?
Opening hours are the single most common reason people switch dentists, and they are the one thing a star rating tells you nothing about. Before you book, check three things: whether the practice runs weekday evening appointments, whether it opens on Saturdays, and how far ahead you have to book a routine cleaning.
At Woodbine & Danforth Dental Care we’re open Monday to Friday 10 AM–7 PM and Saturday 9 AM–5 PM (closed Sunday), which covers after-work and weekend appointments without taking a day off. We’ve written more about working around a 9-to-5 in our guide to finding a dentist open evenings and Saturdays in East York. Hours at the other practices in this guide vary — call ahead or check their Google profile, since posted hours change seasonally.
Need an emergency dentist on the Danforth?
A cracked tooth, a lost filling or sudden severe pain doesn’t wait for your regular check-up. If you’re searching for an emergency dentist on the Danforth, call first rather than walking in — most practices keep a small amount of same-day time open, and a phone call is the fastest way to find out who has it today.
We hold room in the schedule for dental emergencies and will talk you through what to do before you arrive. Here’s how our emergency dental care on the Danforth works, and what counts as an emergency versus something that can safely wait until the next working day.
Insurance, CDCP and what dental care costs in Toronto
Cost is the other thing a rating can’t answer. Three practical points before you choose a dentist on the Danforth:
- Ask what fee guide the practice follows. Ontario dentists set fees with reference to the Ontario Dental Association Suggested Fee Guide, which is updated annually. Any practice should be willing to tell you where their fees sit relative to it.
- Ask about the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). The CDCP is the federal government’s dental coverage programme, and not every clinic bills it the same way — so confirm when you call. At our practice we check your private insurance or CDCP coverage and put your treatment quote in writing before anything starts.
- Get the quote before treatment, not after. A written estimate that separates what insurance is expected to cover from what you’ll pay is normal, reasonable, and worth asking for everywhere.
For a sense of what routine care involves, our breakdown of teeth cleaning costs in Toronto — regular versus deep cleaning walks through what actually drives the difference.
How to choose the best dentist on the Danforth for you
Google ratings are a useful starting point, but the best dentist for you comes down to fit. If you’re wondering how to find a good dentist near you rather than simply the highest-rated one, weigh these before you book:
- Location and transit. A clinic you can walk to, or reach in one stop on Line 2, makes it far easier to keep regular check-ups and to handle an emergency quickly.
- Hours that match your life. Evening and Saturday availability is worth more over ten years than a tenth of a star.
- The range of treatment offered. A practice that handles general, cosmetic, orthodontic and emergency care in-house saves you being referred across the city mid-treatment.
- How they talk about cost. Clear, written estimates and a straight answer about insurance and CDCP coverage are a good sign.
- Read the recent reviews, not just the average. A 4.9 built over eight years and a 4.9 built over eight months are not the same signal. Look at what patients say about waiting times, gentleness and whether the dentist explains things.
- Whether they’re accepting new patients. A highly rated practice with a three-month waiting list may not be the best choice if you have a problem now.
- How the first visit feels. A good dentist explains your options and their costs, and never pressures you into treatment you didn’t ask about.
Our suggestion: shortlist two or three practices from this guide by location, hours and services, then call to confirm availability. If you’re near the Woodbine & Danforth end of the strip, we’d be glad to be one of them.

7. How do I find a good dentist near me in Toronto?
Start with proximity and hours, not just the star rating: shortlist the practices you can reach easily, check that their opening hours fit your week, confirm they offer the treatment you need in-house, and read the most recent reviews rather than only the average. Then call two or three and judge how clearly they answer questions about cost and treatment options. The section above walks through each of these in more detail.
8. How were these clinics ordered — and did anyone pay to be listed?
No one paid to be listed, and no clinic could buy a position.
