Dentist for Vancouver Community College (VCC) Students
If you’ve had a screening at VCC’s on-campus Dental Clinic, you already know how it works: their Dental Hygiene students can clean and assess, but any actual treatment gets referred out to a community dentist — and their clinic doesn’t accept dental insurance either. Vancouver Main Dentist is a short walk from Broadway Campus, in the same Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, ready to pick up wherever that referral left off.
A Quick Walk From Broadway Campus
Getting to us from VCC doesn’t take any real planning. From 1155 East Broadway, you’ve got two easy options:
On foot (10–12 minutes): Head down Broadway toward Main Street, turn onto Main St, and you’re there — a flat, straightforward walk that most students do in the time it takes to grab a coffee.
By SkyTrain (1 stop): Hop on the Canada Line at VCC-Clark Station, ride it one stop, then it’s a short walk to 1877 Main St #120. Handy if it’s raining, you’re carrying tools or supplies from a shop class, or you’re coming from further down Broadway.
Because we're this close, you don't need to write off a whole afternoon for a dental appointment. Book around a gap between classes, a break in your shop hours, or the tail end of a clinical placement, and you'll be back on campus with time to spare. We also keep evening and Saturday hours specifically because we know "9 to 5, Monday to Friday" doesn't describe most VCC schedules.
Dental Services for VCC Students
Whether VCC’s own clinic sent you our way for treatment they can’t provide on-site, or you’re simply due for a checkup, we handle the full range of general, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency dental care under one roof so you’re not stuck figuring out where to go next.
