Village Dental Hygienist

Village Dental Hygienist, also known as Village Dental Hygiene, is a modern dental hygiene clinic located at 47 Thornlodge Dr, Waterdown, ON L8B 0L7, Canada. As an independent clinic, they are able to provide specialized dental hygiene services, separate from a traditional dentist's office, although they collaborate with dentists for comprehensive patient care. A key differentiator for Village Dental Hygienist is their exclusive use of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) in Waterdown. This advanced and minimally invasive cleaning method utilizes warm water, air, and soft powder to effectively remove plaque, stains, and early tartar from natural teeth, as well as around orthodontic appliances, restorations, and implants. GBT offers a more comfortable, quieter, and efficient cleaning experience compared to traditional scraping methods, often described as a "spa-like" experience. The clinic emphasizes consistency in care, ensuring patients see the same hygienist for each visit to foster lasting relationships and tailor treatment plans effectively. They prioritize technology to deliver high-quality care and strive for affordability, billing based on the ODHA fee guide and offering flat-rate options for patients without dental coverage. They also accept CDCP coverage. Village Dental Hygienist offers a holistic approach to oral health, understanding the profound connection between oral bacteria and overall systemic health (with over 170 systemic conditions linked to oral bacteria). This is reflected in their choice of all-natural, cruelty-free, and environmentally conscious products, such as coconut oil-infused floss and gum massages with essential oil drops. Their services extend beyond routine cleanings to include preventative care (sealants, custom-fit mouthguards), restorative treatments (dry mouth and halitosis care, stain removal, fluoride, desensitization counseling), and cosmetic procedures (sensitive teeth whitening, intraoral/buccal massage, tooth gem applications). They also provide comprehensive oral health screenings to detect issues early and offer patient education on proper oral hygiene techniques. The clinic aims to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment for patients, with amenities like a hot towel service at the start of appointments and a focus on patient comfort. Registered Dental Hygienists have been licensed to practice independently in Ontario since 2007, giving patients the right to choose where they receive their hygiene care. Village Dental Hygienist prides itself on offering professional, high-quality oral care in a friendly and relaxed setting, either at their clinic or through a mobile service for home or residential care facilities.
