Impressions The Dental Hygiene Spa

Impressions The Dental hygiene Spa, located at 1956 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4C 1J6, Canada, is a well-established independent dental hygiene practice that opened its doors in 2008. It stands out in the dental care landscape by focusing specifically on preventative oral care delivered in a unique, spa-like setting designed to minimize the anxiety often associated with dental visits. Their philosophy centers on treating and preventing oral diseases to promote better overall health. Since September 2007, Ontario residents have had the option to receive professional treatment from Registered Dental Hygienists without requiring a prior dentist's visit, a choice Impressions The Dental Hygiene Spa embraces fully. They pride themselves on being among the first independent dental hygiene practices in Toronto. The clinic emphasizes personalized care, taking the time to explain all aspects of treatment to each individual client. Their services are comprehensive within the scope of dental hygiene. These include: Oral Assessments: Thorough initial evaluations covering medical history, head and neck checks for abnormalities, oral cancer screenings, and examinations of hard and soft oral tissues. They utilize a laser cavity detector to identify potential issues requiring a dentist referral. Scaling/Debridement: Professional removal of tartar (calculus) from teeth, both above and below the gum line, charged in 15-minute units. This is crucial for preventing and treating gingivitis and periodontitis. They also offer gum therapy for more advanced gum disease. Fluoride and Desensitizing Treatments: In-office fluoride applications to prevent decay and reduce sensitivity, along with xylitol rinses as a fluoride-free alternative to fight decay and inflammation, and aid dry mouth. Sealants: Application of BPA-free coatings to the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly important for children's newly erupted molars, to prevent cavities. Sports Mouthguards: Custom-made mouthguards for all ages to prevent oral injuries during sports activities. The "spa" aspect of their name is reflected in their inviting environment, which aims to be free of the typical unpleasant sounds and smells of a traditional dental office. They offer complimentary spa services to enhance relaxation during appointments. Additionally, Impressions The Dental Hygiene Spa features a "Products Boutique" where clients can purchase oral care products like electric toothbrushes, replacement heads, organic essential oil rinses, xylitol rinses, and the BreathRx line, as well as eco-friendly bamboo toothbrushes and 100% Certified Organic Oil of Oregano. Client reviews frequently praise the relaxing atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, gentle care, and the overall comfortable experience, often noting that it transforms what can be a dreaded appointment into something enjoyable.
