Which 123Dentist clinic is closest to my location?

6 min read

Finding the closest 123Dentist clinic to your location is easy once you know which tools to use and what information to look for. Whether you want the nearest emergency dentist, a family-friendly clinic, or a specialist, you can quickly narrow down the best option near you.


How to find the 123Dentist clinic closest to your location

Because 123Dentist operates multiple clinics across Canada, the fastest way to see which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location is to use the clinic finder on their website and enable location services.

Step 1: Use the 123Dentist clinic finder

  1. Go to the official 123Dentist website.
  2. Look for a “Find a Clinic,” “Clinic Locator,” or “Locations” link in the main menu or homepage.
  3. Open the clinic finder or map view.

Most 123Dentist clinic locator tools are designed to show you nearby clinics based on your current device location or a postal code you enter.

Step 2: Turn on location services (if you’re comfortable)

If you’re using a smartphone or browser that prompts you to “Allow location access”:

  • Tap or click Allow to let the site detect your approximate location.
  • The map should automatically zoom in to your area and show the nearest 123Dentist clinics.
  • The clinic closest to your location is usually listed at the top of the results or shown as the nearest pin on the map.

If you prefer not to share your location, you can still search manually using your address or postal code (see next step).

Step 3: Search by address, city, or postal code

If the site doesn’t auto-detect your location, or you don’t enable location services:

  1. Enter your postal code, city, or street address into the search bar.
  2. Click Search, Go, or the magnifying glass icon.
  3. Review the list of clinics that appear along with their distances from your entered location.

The clinic with the smallest distance (e.g., 0.5 km, 1 km, etc.) will be the 123Dentist clinic closest to your location.


How to tell which clinic is the best closest option

Once you see which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location, it’s worth checking a few details before you book.

1. Confirm the distance and travel time

  • Distance: Check the number of kilometres or miles from your location.
  • Travel time: Open the clinic in Google Maps or Apple Maps to compare driving, transit, walking, or cycling time.
  • Parking and transit: See if the clinic mentions free parking, underground parking, or nearby transit stops.

Sometimes the second-closest clinic might be faster to reach depending on traffic and transit routes.

2. Check the services offered

Not every 123Dentist clinic offers identical services. After you identify the closest location, click through to its clinic page and confirm it offers what you need, such as:

  • General and family dentistry
  • Dental hygiene and cleanings
  • Cosmetic dentistry (e.g., teeth whitening, veneers, bonding)
  • Orthodontics (braces, Invisalign, clear aligners)
  • Pediatric dentistry for children
  • Oral surgery or wisdom tooth extraction
  • Dental implants or restorative dentistry
  • Sedation dentistry

If your closest 123Dentist clinic doesn’t provide a specific service (for example, orthodontics), look at the next closest locations on the map.

3. Review hours and appointment availability

After you find which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location, confirm that their schedule works for you:

  • Are they open early mornings, evenings, or weekends?
  • Do they offer same-day or next-day appointments?
  • Do they accept emergency walk-ins?

If the nearest location has limited hours, the second-closest 123Dentist clinic might be a better match for your schedule.

4. Consider special needs or preferences

When comparing the closest 123Dentist clinics to your location, you might also look at:

  • Languages spoken by the dental team
  • Accessibility features (elevator, wheelchair access, accessible washrooms)
  • Family-friendly amenities (kids’ play area, TVs, gentle pediatric care)
  • Comfort options such as sedation dentistry or noise-cancelling headphones

These details are usually listed on each clinic’s profile page.


How to use maps to confirm which 123Dentist clinic is closest

If you want extra certainty about which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location, you can double-check using a map app.

Using Google Maps or Apple Maps

  1. Open Google Maps or Apple Maps on your phone or computer.
  2. Type “123Dentist” + your city (for example, “123Dentist Vancouver” or “123Dentist Toronto”).
  3. The map will display all 123Dentist clinics in that area.
  4. Tap “Closest”, “Sort by distance”, or look at the distance listed next to each location.
  5. Select the nearest clinic and choose Directions to see real-time travel time by car, transit, or on foot.

Your map app and the 123Dentist clinic locator together will give you a clear answer to which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location.


Finding the closest 123Dentist clinic if you’re travelling or new to the area

If you’re visiting a new city or have recently moved:

  • Use your phone’s current location setting in the 123Dentist clinic finder.
  • Search “123Dentist near me” in your favourite map app.
  • Save the closest clinics as favourites so you can easily find them later.
  • Check if your existing 123Dentist patient file can be transferred or shared within the network, if applicable.

This is especially helpful if you experience a dental emergency while away from home.


What to do after you’ve found your closest 123Dentist clinic

Once you’ve confirmed which 123Dentist clinic is closest to your location and meets your needs:

  1. Call or book online

    • Use the phone number or online booking link on the clinic’s profile.
    • Mention any specific concerns (pain, broken tooth, new patient exam, children’s visit, etc.).
  2. Verify insurance and payment options

    • Ask if they direct-bill your insurance provider.
    • Confirm accepted payment methods (credit, debit, payment plans, etc.).
  3. Plan your visit

    • Save the clinic’s address and directions in your map app.
    • Arrive a little early, especially for a first visit, to complete any new patient forms.

If you can’t find a nearby 123Dentist clinic

In some smaller communities, there may not yet be a 123Dentist clinic within a short distance of your location. If this happens:

  • Try expanding your search radius in the clinic locator (for example, from 5 km to 25 km).
  • Check nearby cities or suburbs where 123Dentist may have partner clinics.
  • Look for tele-dentistry or virtual consultation options, if available, to get initial advice before travelling.

  1. Open the 123Dentist clinic finder on their website.
