A Saturday appointment may help fit dental care around work, school and family commitments. This guide explains how to prepare; for availability and service information, visit our weekend dentist page.

Confirm the Date and Time

Mackenzie Smiles Dentistry lists Monday to Friday hours of 9 AM–7 PM and Saturday hours of 9 AM–5 PM. The clinic is closed on Sundays. Holiday hours and appointment availability can vary. A request submitted online is not a confirmed booking; wait for the clinic to confirm it.

Explain the Reason for Your Visit

Tell the team whether you need a routine review, have a broken restoration or are experiencing symptoms. Describe when a problem began and whether it is changing. Do not assume that every procedure can be completed during a Saturday visit. Examination, records, laboratory work or referral may require further appointments.

Bring Useful Information

  • A current medication and allergy list
  • Relevant medical and dental history
  • Information about previous images or treatment records
  • Your questions and, where relevant, current dental-benefit information

Ask the clinic how to share records. Coverage must be checked for the proposed service; having insurance or CDCP does not mean every treatment will be covered.

Make Time for Questions

Ask what the examination found, which options are reasonable, what the risks and limitations are and what follow-up may be needed. If a temporary measure is provided, ask how to care for it and when the next visit should occur.

If You Have an Urgent Concern

Call 905-237-2353 during opening hours and describe your symptoms so the team can advise about availability. See our emergency dental care page for the urgent-care route. Do not assume a walk-in, same-day procedure or Sunday appointment is available. Seek emergency medical care for difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling or uncontrolled bleeding.
