We’re Happy You Asked

Why choose Fostering Smiles for dental hygiene services?

At Fostering Smiles, you get more than just a cleaning. You receive care that’s personal, consistent, and stress-free. With one dedicated hygienist, you’ll always see the same friendly face who knows your dental history and what works best for you. Our space feels calm and welcoming, making your visit something to look forward to. If you value a relaxed experience and personalized care, Fostering Smiles could be the right fit for you.

Does Fostering Smiles direct billing to my dental insurance provider?

Yes. We offer direct billing to a wide range of insurance providers. To confirm whether your plan is eligible, contact us with your coverage details. We’re happy to help you navigate the process.

Does coming to Fostering Smiles replace my dentist?

Not at all. At Fostering Smiles, we work collaboratively with your dentist and other healthcare providers to support your overall oral and systemic health. We’re here to complement your existing care, not replace it, so you can continue seeing your dentist as usual while benefiting from independent hygiene services. Don’t have a dentist and need a referral? Fostering Smiles can help with that too!

How are dental hygiene fees determined at Fostering Smiles?

At Fostering Smiles, our fees are guided by the BCDHA Fee Guide. You’ll find a general cost breakdown on our services page, but total treatment costs can vary based on individual needs. For a more accurate estimate, we encourage you to contact us directly.

How does Fostering Smiles address dental anxiety?

Dental anxiety is real and we take it seriously. Fostering Smiles is a dedicated dental hygiene clinic with no drills, no needles, and no dentists. We’ve created a calm, client-centered environment that includes stress balls, fidget tools, weighted and non-weighted blankets, ceiling entertainment, personalized audio, and a quiet atmosphere. Every detail is designed to help you feel at ease.
