What we offer

I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist since graduating from Camosun College in 2007, and more recently became qualified as a Dental Hygiene Practitioner in 2021.

With a couple of moves within the lower mainland, I have worked in various traditional dental offices. I have also worked as a clinical instructor with UBC’s dental hygiene degree program. Throughout my many years of experience, in various settings, I have been able to analyze what works well and what could improve in providing optimal patient care, and how to achieve this in an ethical way which aligns with my high standards of practice. This is what inspired me to further my education by completing my Bachelor of Science in Oral Health Promotion in 2015. After starting my family, I set out to complete the PLAR program through Thompson Rivers University in order to qualify as a Dental Hygiene Practitioner registrant, with the hopes of eventually opening my own independent dental hygiene practice. Fortunately, my colleague and business partner Namrita, felt the same way and we embarked on this journey together. 

Stephanie

I graduated from the Canadian Institute of Dental Hygiene in 2006 and then further expanded my education at Thompson Rivers University. 

I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2006 and uphold a high standard of care by continually updating my skill set through continuing education courses and study clubs. I am involved in various volunteer initiatives in my local community and hope to continue dental focused volunteering through Haven. My spare time is spent with my family and friends who have been huge supporters of this venture. I look forward to welcoming you to our warm and client centered clinic.

Namrita

We are committed to going above and beyond each client’s expectations in order to optimize their oral health and subsequently their systemic health.

Commitment & Consistency

We will work with our client’s individual goals and budget to assist them in accessing the dental care they deserve

We are dedicated to helping various charitable efforts within vulnerable and impoverished populations with a passionate focus on underserved children, at-risk women, and those suffering economic inequity.

We plan to support local charities with donations of oral care items.

Our Favorite Things

We strive to cater to our client’s wishes. Some client’s may request fluoride free products while others may require a higher concentration of fluoride in their toothpastes. We will carry various options to choose from. We will carry some of our personal favorite products that will include a natural, hydrating lip gloss.
We are fortunate enough to be accepted as a retail partner with Sahajan skin care, a natural skin care brand that has values aligned with ours. We will carry the Lip Karma lip gloss and the very best part is that with every tube of lip gloss sold, a girl in a developing country will attend one day of school!
