We like to keep pricing as clear as possible. Danton Smiles follows the current Ontario Dental Hygienists’ Association (ODHA) Suggested Fee Guide, and the final cost depends on the services and amount of time your individual care requires. We’re always happy to discuss expected costs before treatment so there are no surprises.

Yes, a mobile fee may apply when we bring the clinic to you. The fee varies depending on the city and location of your appointment. Just ask us when booking and we’ll let you know exactly what applies to your visit !

Yes! We work with many private dental insurance plans and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Direct billing is available when permitted by your plan. Every insurance policy is a little different, so coverage can vary, and any portion not covered by your plan remains the patient’s responsibility. If insurance makes your head spin, don’t worry we’re happy to help you understand what we can!

Not usually. Registered Dental Hygienists in Ontario can provide dental hygiene care independently, so you can book directly with Danton Smiles. In some situations, your medical history may mean that clearance from a physician or dentist is needed before treatment, and we’ll let you know if that applies to you.

That’s the beauty of mobile care — we come to you. Appointments can be provided in private homes and senior-living communities, including retirement residences and other care settings. If you’re unsure whether we travel to your area, send us a message. We’ll happily check.

Absolutely. When appropriate, dental hygiene care can often be provided right in a resident’s room. This can be especially helpful for individuals who are bedbound, have mobility concerns, are at risk of falls, or simply find travelling to a dental office difficult. We work with the resident, family and care team to make the appointment as comfortable as possible.

That’s okay, care does not have to look the same for everyone. We can adjust positioning, take breaks, work at a gentler pace, or recommend shorter appointments when needed. Some days we accomplish a lot; other days comfort and building trust are the priority. We meet people where they’re at.

Our goal is always to keep you comfortable. You may notice some sensitivity if there is inflammation or heavier buildup, but please tell us if anything feels uncomfortable. We can slow down, take breaks and adjust treatment along the way.

It depends on your mouth! Some patients need a fairly straightforward cleaning, while others may have heavier tartar buildup, gum concerns, sensitive teeth or several years between appointments. In those cases, treatment may take longer or be divided into more than one visit. We’d much rather provide the time you need than rush you through an appointment.

There isn’t one perfect schedule for everyone. Your recommended frequency depends on things like gum health, tartar buildup, medications, dry mouth, medical history, dental history and how easily you’re able to care for your teeth between visits. After your assessment, we’ll recommend a schedule that actually makes sense for you.

We’ll talk you through what we see and explain the next step. If something needs to be assessed or treated outside the dental hygiene scope of practice, we’ll recommend seeing the appropriate dental or health-care provider. When appropriate and with consent, clinical information or photographs can also be shared to help with the referral process.

Of course. We regularly communicate with families, caregivers and substitute decision-makers when coordinating care. We can help with appointment arrangements, consent requirements, treatment updates and billing so everyone knows what is happening — especially when the person receiving care needs a little extra support.
