York Mobile Dental Hygiene

FAQs

  • Are dental hygienists able to work independently without a dentist?

    • In 2007, when Bill 171 was passed, dental hygienists were given the freedom to work independent of a dentist. This means that self-initiated dental hygienists are able to open their own practice or bring their services to a client’s place of residence.

  • How do your fees compare to that of a general dentist’s office?

    • Independent dental hygienists follow the fee guide set out by the ODHA (Ontario Dental Hygienists’ Association). These fees are 5% – 20% less than the fees set out by the ODA (Ontario Dental Association) fee guide.

  • Will my insurance company reimburse me for your dental hygiene fees?

    • Yes. Most insurance companies will reimburse dental hygiene fees depending on your plan. If you are covered, a claim form will be completed at the end of the appointment, which can then be sent to your insurance company for any reimbursements.

  • Will you be able to refer me to a dentist?

    • Yes, of course! York Mobile collaborates with dentists as well as other health care professionals in order to ensure effective and complete care. We would be happy to refer you to a dentist or other health care specialist.
