Downtown Dental Centre is a conveniently located dental clinic for those visiting Wascana Centre and Wascana Park, which is a short drive north on Albert Street, and it’s been serving Regina patients since 2007. Whether you work near the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, visit the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, or live in the south-central part of the city, getting to a dentist doesn’t have to mean a long detour. The Royal Bank Building on 11th Avenue is where you’ll find our team, and we’re currently accepting new patients.
Wascana Centre covers a large area, so “near Wascana” means different things depending on where you’re starting. This page breaks it down by landmark, so you know exactly what to expect.
How Far Is the Drive from Wascana Centre?
Wascana Centre is one of the largest urban parks in North America. It covers a wide area of central Regina, so “near Wascana” means different things depending on where you are in the park.
Here’s a general sense of the distance:
- From the Saskatchewan Legislative Building: About a 5-minute drive north along Albert Street to 11th Avenue
- From the Royal Saskatchewan Museum: About 5–7 minutes by car heading northwest

Our clinic is in the Royal Bank Building on 11th Avenue, which is a well-known downtown landmark. Street parking and downtown parkades are both available nearby.

Why Choose a Downtown Clinic Over One Closer to the Park?
That’s a fair question. Here’s what makes a downtown location work well for many Wascana-area patients:
- Convenience with your routine: Many people who spend time near Wascana Centre also work or run errands downtown. Booking a dental visit on your way to work or after a government meeting makes the trip worthwhile.
- Early morning hours: We open at 7:30 AM Monday through Thursday. If you want to get your appointment done before the rest of your day begins, that’s easy to do with us.
- No overlap with Wascana Dental Centre: We are separate from Wascana Dental Centre, which is located on Avonhurst Drive in a different part of Regina. Downtown Dental Centre is a different clinic with a different team and a downtown location.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first visit typically includes:
- A full dental exam by one of our dentists.
- Digital X-rays, if needed.
- A cleaning with one of our hygienists.
- A conversation about any concerns or treatment options.
There’s no pressure to commit to anything. We walk you through what we find and let you decide how you’d like to move forward.
