Yes! I offer mobile dental hygiene services in the comfort of your home, as well as in my private, home-based clinic located in Welland, Ontario.
I offer a full range of dental hygiene care: professional cleanings, scaling, fluoride treatments, whitening, desensitizing, and exams for both children and adults. I also do direct billing with most insurance providers.
Booking is easy through my website. First select whether you’d like an at-home visit or an in-clinic appointment to access the availability. Not seeing anything that fits your availability? No problem, just send me a message and I will try to accomodate your schedule.
Yes. At your first visit, I’m required by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO) to complete a full new patient assessment. This includes reviewing your medical history, checking the soft tissues inside and outside your mouth, assessing your gum and bone health, charting your teeth, and discussing your oral health goals. This ensures your care is safe, individualized, and thorough.
Mobile dental hygiene is a fantastic option for many people! Busy individuals and professionals appreciate saving valuable travel and waiting room time by having care come directly to their home or even their workplace (with employer permission). Families with children love the convenience of having multiple family members seen in one visit, eliminating extra trips and childcare arrangements. Seniors benefit from receiving comfortable, compassionate care in the familiarity of their own homes, retirement residences, or long-term care facilities without the strain of travel. Mobile visits are also ideal for those with mobility challenges or disabilities, as well as anyone who experiences dental anxiety or phobia. Being in a familiar environment can make care feel much more relaxed. Finally, for patients living in rural or less accessible areas, mobile dental hygiene brings care closer to you.
I bring everything needed: a portable patient and clinician chair, light, sterilized tools, and more. I just need a small setup area (about 5' x 7') and access to a 3-pronged power outlet. It typically takes about 10–15 minutes to set up. Access to a nearby sink for handwashing is appreciated, though I follow strict hand hygiene protocols regardless.
You can receive care in my sturdy portable dental chair, a chair you already have, a wheelchair, on a sofa, or even a bed if mobility is a concern. We can discuss the best spot beforehand or when I arrive to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
I serve patients across the Niagara Region and surrounding areas. Local towns include Welland, Port Colborne, Pelham, Wainfleet, Stevensville, Thorold, Ridgeway, Crystal Beach, and Niagara Falls. I also travel to St. Catharines, Jordan, Vineland, Fort Erie, Lincoln, Smithville, Beamsville, and Dunnville. If you’re unsure whether I can come to your location, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to let you know.
Yes, there is a $20 mobile service fee for in-home appointments and is sometimes covered by your insurance plan. This fee is waived if more than one patient is seen at the same address on the same day.
My clinic is right here in my home in Welland, Ontario. The treatment area is private, clean, and fully equipped, following all CDHO and Public Health Ontario infection control guidelines.
You bet! Free, convenient parking is available right at the home clinic.
I do have a sweet, friendly dog at home. She will not be in the treatment space during your appointment, but I’ll mention her in advance so those with allergies or preferences can feel comfortable.
Absolutely! I offer direct billing to most providers. If your plan doesn't allow that, I’ll give you a detailed receipt to submit yourself.
I accept e-transfer, cash, debit, and credit card payments. I also accept contactless options such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. All card and tap payments are processed securely through my Square app, so you can choose whatever is most convenient for you.
Insurance plans often only cover one exam per benefit year, regardless of whether it’s completed by a hygienist or a dentist. That means if you have a new patient exam with me, your dentist may not be able to bill for their own new patient exam in the same year.
However, this does not prevent you from seeing a dentist. Your dentist can still provide a comprehensive check-up and x-rays, and may bill under a different exam code (such as a specific or recall exam), which many plans cover separately.
Not at all. While I complete a full hygiene assessment, only a dentist can diagnose cavities, perform x-rays, and provide treatment like fillings. I encourage all my patients to maintain a dentist relationship for full-scope oral care.
Definitely! As a Registered Dental Hygienist, I strictly follow all sterilization and infection control protocols required by CDHO and Public Health Ontario. I take great pride in upholding these standards, and it’s one of the many reasons I was motivated to start my own practice: to provide safe, professional care in a comfortable and convenient setting.
Yes! My practice is child-friendly, and I strive to make kids feel safe and comfortable whether we’re at my clinic or in your home. Many families appreciate being able to book appointments back-to-back for parents and children. One of the best parts about mobile visits is the convenience. Kids can have their teeth cleaned while parents get things done around the house, like cooking dinner or helping with homework. It makes dental care easier and less stressful for the whole family.
Absolutely! Children are always welcome to come along. I’m happy to provide colouring activities to keep them occupied, and if you’d like, I can even include your child in the care so they feel comfortable and involved.
