Finding a family dentist close to home
I used to absolutely dread going to the dentist. That changed when I found Orchard Heights Dental Centre, tucked into St. Andrew's Shopping Centre in Aurora, a practice that has become one of my favourite local discoveries.
Dr. Raymond Katz, B.Sc., D.D.S. General Dentist
Meet Dr. Raymond Katz and the Orchard Heights team
Dr. Katz graduated from dentistry at McGill University and has been caring for patients in Aurora since 1990. His practice focuses on family dentistry, smile enhancement and implant dentistry, and he leads a full-service team under one roof.
The experience starts at the front desk. Trish, Christine and Becky greet you by name and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
The waiting area has a cozy two-sided fireplace and a kids' game room, which makes a real difference when you're bringing little ones along. In the treatment rooms, ceiling-mounted TVs give you something to focus on besides the work being done, so you can settle in and relax.

My Personal Experience
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Katz for years, so I already knew how welcoming his team is. But the moment that truly showed me the level of care at Orchard Heights came at 4 p.m. on a Friday, when one of my kids had a sports-related injury and fractured their tooth.
With the weekend just hours away, Dr. Katz saw us right away. He treated the fracture, was incredibly reassuring with both of us, and found a solution that quickly restored my child’s smile and their confidence.
As a mom, there’s real comfort in knowing that when something goes wrong, there’s a team who will make time for your child and treat them with that much care. It’s why I’ve trusted Dr. Katz with my family all these years. And as a little bonus, we always leave with a goodie bag.
A local business worth discovering
Part of what makes a community feel like home is knowing who to call when you need something, whether that's a great contractor, a go-to coffee shop or a dentist you trust with your family.
As we help families settle into Aurora and Newmarket, we love sharing the local businesses we rely on ourselves. These are the places that make day-to-day life here easier, and they're a big part of what makes these neighbourhoods such great places to live.
Orchard Heights Dental Centre is one of those places I discovered through my own experience and wanted to share, especially with families who are new to the area and looking for a dentist they can rely on.
If you'd like to learn more about the practice or the services available, you can visit their website or give the office a call to see whether they're a good fit for your family.
