Omg Kristina is amazing! I did teeth whitening with her yesterday and my teeth are so bright now. I'd done whitening before but results were never this white. My teeth are sensitive, but she used high quality anti-sensitivity gels — I handled all four sessions with barely any sensitivity. 100% recommend.

The walk from King Street West and Bathurst to our clinic takes approximately 10 minutes on foot, making us one of the closest dental hygiene practices to the King West strip.

🚶 Walking Route (10 minutes)

From the corner of King Street West and Bathurst Street, head south on Bathurst past the condo towers and Niagara Street.

Turn left (east) onto Fleet Street just before the Fort York grounds — our clinic at 614 Fleet Street, Suite 113 is on your left. The entire route is on flat, paved sidewalks and takes under 12 minutes at a comfortable pace from the heart of the strip at Peter or John Street.

🚌 By TTC Streetcar

Two streetcar lines connect King West to the clinic. The 511 Bathurst streetcar runs south from Bathurst station along Bathurst Street — exit at the Fleet Street stop and walk one block east. The 504 King streetcar runs along King Street West through the strip; transfer to the 511 southbound at Bathurst. A ride from King and Bathurst to the Fleet Street stop takes about 3 minutes, though most King West residents find the 10-minute walk faster than waiting.

About King West: Toronto's Restaurant and Nightlife Capital

King Street West, running west from University Avenue through the Theatre District and into the Fashion District, is Toronto's premier dining and entertainment strip. The neighbourhood loosely spans from University Avenue east of Spadina to Bathurst and beyond, between Adelaide Street to the north and the rail corridor to the south — placing our Fort York clinic directly on its southern boundary, one Bathurst block away.

What makes King West distinct is its after-dark economy. The strip between Spadina and Bathurst concentrates hundreds of restaurants, bars, and lounges — from historic venues like the Crown & Banner-era Drake-style hotspots to the patios that make Toronto's summer famous. TIFF Lightbox anchors the eastern end at King and John, drawing the film industry every September. The Royal Alexandra and Princess of Wales theatres host pre- and post-theatre dinner crowds year-round. All of this means the neighbourhood's workforce — servers, bartenders, kitchen staff, sommeliers — keeps hours opposite to the nine-to-five, and its residents are young professionals who socialize as hard as they work.

Living here means espresso culture by day and wine culture by night — and both leave their signature on enamel. The condo towers along King, Niagara, and Wellington streets house a community that values looking the part: camera-ready smiles for headshots, weddings at the Liberty Grand, and the perpetual Instagram story. Victoria Memorial Park at Niagara and King offers a quiet green escape, and Stanley Park to the west anchors the residential pocket closest to our clinic. King West is bordered by the Entertainment District to the east, CityPlace to the south across the rail corridor, and Liberty Village to the west.

King West Landmarks You'll Recognize

If you live or work on King West, you know these landmarks — and they're all within a short walk of our clinic. Here's how they connect to your visit to Krystal Dental Hygiene.

TIFF Lightbox

Home of the Toronto International Film Festival at King and John Street. Every September, the industry's smiles are on dozens of red carpets — book your ZOOM! session a week before the festival for a camera-ready result. From TIFF Lightbox, the clinic is a 15-minute walk southwest via King to Bathurst, then south.

Royal Alexandra & Princess of Wales Theatres

The historic Royal Alexandra (1907) and the modern Princess of Wales anchor King Street's theatre row. If you're catching an 8 PM curtain, our 5:30 PM cleaning or whitening slot gets you back to the theatre district with time for a pre-show drink. Both theatres are a 12-to-15-minute walk northeast of the clinic.

Victoria Memorial Park

This quiet park at Niagara and King streets is a hidden gem of the western strip — war memorial, dog run, and community green space. It sits directly on the walking route between King West and our clinic: pass the park heading south on Bathurst, and you're 4 minutes from our door.

Stanley Park

Not its downtown-namesake in Vancouver — Toronto's Stanley Park at King and Walnut is a leafy neighbourhood park marking the western edge of King West proper. From the park, it's a 6-minute walk south on Walnut and east on Fleet Street to our clinic, making this the closest corner of King West to our door.
