FAQs

If I already have a Dentist, am I able to get my teeth cleaned at your Dental Hygiene Studio?

~Everyone has the right to chose your Dental Hygienist.  You may chose any registered Dental Hygienist to clean your teeth just the same as you may chose a specific Dentist to fill you cavities and complete your check ups.

Do you take X-rays?

~Yes we have the most up to date equipment available which is used to assess your oral health and these images are shared with your Dentist if any concerns are noted.  X-rays are owned by you and may be transferred to any Health provider.

Why should I chose an Independent Hygiene Clinic over visiting my Dentist?

~We use a personalized approach to provide evidence based dental hygiene care for each and every one of our patients.  It is our focus to make patients feel relaxed and valued.  (A peaceful environment with no sounds of the drill!)  We put relationships first and strive to make your dental experience an amazing one.  Come see for yourself.

What is included in a hygiene visit?

~We offer a complimentary oral examination where all your teeth, gums, bone levels are evaluated.  X-rays may be recommended.  Individualized oral hygiene instruction is offered with visual aids.  We are the only clinic in Olds to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy with EMS airflow.  This provides cutting edge technology that is super comfortable.  Enjoy warm water while your teeth are cleaned.  It is very safe, less invasive on your teeth and soft tissues.  Traditional procedures are also available.  Fluoride is offered to assist with remineralization at the end of your visit.

How much does it cost to have my teeth cleaned?

~ Patient care is very individualized and cannot be pre packaged.  Depending on how long it has been since your last cleaning you may need more scaling to reverse years of buildup. 

 

Our fees are 7-10 %  below the Alberta Dental Fee Guide. 

 

Free cost assessments are available for an individualized estimate. 

At what age do you recommend a dental hygiene visit for children?

~ Age 3 is a great time to bring your child in for their hygiene appointment. A complimentary “Happy Visit” is offered to all our first time visitors.  This helps children get familiar with our team, studio, and to see what a visit is all about.  Chair rides, oral health assessment, toothbrush and home care instructions and of course a visit to our treasure tower. 

Are Dental Hygiene visits/cleaning covered by Dental Insurance?

~Yes they sure are.  Feather Dental Hygiene Studio is an independent dental hygiene clinic and can Direct Bill  your insurance plan.  Need help understanding your dental coverage?  Let us know and we can send in an estimate for you.

I have not had my teeth cleaned for a long time.  What can I expect?

~We provide a No Judgement Zone here!  We are here to help you get back on track to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.  It might take more than one visit and we offer pain management options if needed. 

When do I need to see a Dentist?

~ At your hygiene appointment here at Feather Dental Hygiene a complimentary oral examination will be completed.   Referrals will be sent to your existing dentist, listing any concerns we may have.  If you are seeking a new dentist we can assist you as well.

Annual dental check ups are recommended with your dentist.
