A Radiant Smile is a Healthy Smile!
As oral health is directly related to your overall health, Purely Hygiene uses your initial dental hygiene exam to set a treatment plan to achieve your oral health goals, whether it be improving your oral health or maintaining it we customize your care with you in mind. For some this may mean getting you back on track, or simply figuring out what maintenance plan is best for your needs. Which ever it may be we will achieve your goals together.
I accept insurance for treatment and have set my fee guide with your insurance company's recommendations in mind. As my treatments are customized to your needs, it is difficult to give estimates over the phone for your intended care. I can however preauthorize treatment at your request prior to providing care, come on in and talk with me as I'm always willing to work with you.
SERVICE MENU
Please note all new appointments are initially based on an hour to hour and half appointments in which time you will receive the following if required:
Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Exam
* Complete your Medical History in detail for new patients or a Review of Medical History for returning patients.
* Complete charting (for new patients) or update current charting for returning.
* Assess current oral health status.
* Go through current oral hygiene habits.
* If requested do an oral cancer screening test using specific tools.
* If warranted use an intra-oral camera to chart findings and explain/show findings to the patient.
Upon Completion of the Dental Hygiene Exam you will have an understanding of your oral health status, decay status and the optimal treatment plan recommendations or referrals.
Professional Debridement (scaling)
The typical adult dental cleaning takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, however each individual is different based on the hygienist's findings during the initial exam.
During this appointment your Dental Hygienist will skillfully remove all hard and soft deposits both above and below the gum-line via scaling. It is important to remove these deposits in order to maintain optimal oral health and avoid gum disease such as gingivitis or the more severe periodontal disease.
If you know you have sensitivity related issues during cleanings please inform the Dental Hygienist prior to the commencement of the appointment as there are options available to help alleviate the discomfort.

Professional Stain Removal
Stain removal is commonly done at the same time as your Dental Hygiene cleaning, it can increase the amount of time it takes to complete your cleaning. The procedure entails removing granular stain that has adhered to the surface of the tooth thus altering the color appearance of one's teeth. This procedure is achieved by the Dental Hygienist using scaling instruments as well as a polishing cup and polishing paste infused with a gritty substance called pumice.

Desensitizing
There are many options when it comes to implementing a desensitizing treatment. The treatment chosen will be dependent on each individual's cause for the sensitivity and discomfort, as well as what circumstances the sensitivity is experienced under. Once the cause is determined, options can then be discussed. They could range from:
*Sensitive Toothpaste brands to use at home.
*Fluoride Varnishes applied within the dental office.
*In office treatment to cover sensitive area's of concern.

Custom Sports Guards or Preformed
Custom sports guards can be fabricated within the office once dental impressions have been taken and cast into a stone model. There are a variety of colours available to choose from.
Pre-form guards are available in almost all drug store and sport stores but do not offer you or your athlete the same quality of protection and performance.
Purely Hygiene will construct your custom guard for $50! I also keep your mould in office labelled and ready to reconstruct a new guard in the event of it being lost or worn out. If same mold can be used a replacement guard will only cost you $25. This is an amazing deal to prevent teeth from cutting lips, being fractured off or completely lost! Its a small price to pay for a huge potential savings.

Sealants
Sealants are generally recommended for younger clients as a means to protect the tooth surface from decay until the parent can be sure the child is brushing adequately on their own. However, this is not a fail safe method and it is advised that proper tooth brushing techniques are the optimal way to prevent decay. Sealants are a painless procedure that requires no freezing. A thin material is placed in the "pits" of the chewing surface of teeth.
