Professional Hygiene Cleaning in the Heart of Kitsilano
A professional hygiene visit is the only way to remove tartar that brushing physically can’t reach. Plaque can begin hardening into tartar within 24–72 hours and is largely mineralized within about two weeks.

When my wife’s veneer came off we weren’t even their patients yet. I called around 11 in the morning — they got the doctor on the phone and ended up staying after hours to fix everything. You really feel like they care about you as a person, not just as a patient.

Dr. Siew examined my teeth carefully and provided a comprehensive treatment plan. After four crowns, several cavity fillings, and a custom-fitted night guard, my jaw pain and toothaches have stopped. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Common Concerns
We’ve heard it before. Let’s address it.
“I haven’t been to the dentist in years and I’m embarrassed.”
We don’t keep score. Roughly 1 in 3 young Canadian adults haven’t been to the dentist in over a year, and many of our patients arrive after a long gap. You’ll get the cleaning you need — not a lecture.
“Will I be upsold once I’m in the chair?”
No. You get a written estimate before the visit — including any small co-pay or extras — so there are no surprises. We recommend conservative care first.
“What if I don’t qualify for CDCP?”
We check at booking. If you don’t qualify, we’ll tell you the hygiene visit fee plainly — no bait, no obligation to proceed. You decide from there.
“I have dental anxiety.”
You’re not alone — about 7 in 10 adults report some fear of the dentist. Tell us at booking and we’ll adjust the pacing, take more breaks, and let you signal anytime to pause.
“What about my kids?”
CDCP covers eligible children too. Family appointments are welcome — we’ll verify each family member’s eligibility when you book.
“I’m busy — can I get a Saturday appointment?”
Yes. We offer Saturday appointments and evening hours Tuesday and Wednesday. Tell us your scheduling constraints at booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Canadian residents with an adjusted family net income under $90,000, no access to private dental insurance, and a filed tax return for the most recent year. Eligibility is determined by the federal government, not by us. We verify your status at booking using the information you provide.
CDCP covers a comprehensive hygiene visit — scaling, polishing, exam, x-rays as clinically required, and fluoride — on the standard schedule the federal program defines. Frequency and units of scaling are set by the plan; we’ll explain what’s included for your specific case when we verify eligibility.
You won’t qualify for CDCP, but we’ll quote you the hygiene visit fee plainly so you can decide whether to proceed. Many patients in this position book anyway because we’re transparent on price and they’ve been putting off a cleaning for too long.
Usually within a single phone call or short web-form exchange — about two minutes of your time. We then submit a pre-determination to Sun Life (the CDCP administrator) before your visit so your estimate is firm.
Yes. CDCP covers eligible children, and we welcome family appointments. We’ll verify each family member’s eligibility when you book. Children’s hygiene visits follow the same covered-services list.
CDCP eligibility uses the most recent tax year on file with CRA. If you have a recent return on file, you’re fine. If you’ve missed the most recent year, file it as soon as you can — we can still book you a visit at the published hygiene rate and reassess CDCP coverage once your return is processed.
If you’re already enrolled in CDCP, bring your benefits card or member number. If you’re not yet enrolled, we can walk you through the federal application during booking. A piece of ID and your provincial health card are helpful but not required to book.
