In Alberta, registered dental hygienists can run their own clinics. That means longer appointments, transparent fee-guide pricing and plain-language advice from a registered dental hygienist.
Alberta was one of the first provinces to allow registered dental hygienists to practise independently. An Independent Dental Hygienist Edmonton clinic provides preventive dental hygiene services such as professional cleaning, scaling, gum care, fluoride, sealants, X-rays and teeth whitening in a dedicated hygiene setting. Independent dental hygienists may provide these services on their own schedules and fees.
Yours Dental Hygiene is one of these clinics. We are owned and run by hygienists, and dental hygiene is all we do.
Fees for hygiene codes follow the Alberta fee guide, with no markup. Appointments are a full hour and available evenings and weekends. Without treatment to sell, advice is simpler: here is what your gums need, here is what a cleaning can fix, and here is when you need a dentist.
Your insurance does not care whether the cleaning happens at a dental office or a hygiene clinic. The codes are the same.
