Happy Anniversary to Us!!
Highland Heights is honoured to be celebrating 10 years of providing the highest quality of oral health care to our community.
10 years ago I had a vision - a dream of where I wanted my hygiene career to go, of the clinic I wanted to provide to the community I grew up in and continue to live in.....and those TEN years have easily been the most rewarding years of my career!
We’ve come a long way since our very first client walked through our doors - its a day I know I won't ever forget! It didn’t run as smoothly as I had hoped - finding out you ordered the wrong prophy angles while you are about to polish, is far from ideal, and seeing one client per week for months was a far cry from what I was used to - but I wouldn’t trade the past 10 years and it's lessons for anything in the world!!
The clinic has accomplished so much in 10 years, and I have grown immensely as a health care professional - but most importantly, I have the most amazing staff & clients - every single day my heart is full with friendship, laughter and pure joy - we truly have become a family. With every visit we look forward to your stories, your triumphs, your adventures. We are there through sorrows and tough times, and cheering you on when those hurdles are surpassed. Every single one of you has helped shape me into a better version of myself, as a business owner, and as a Dental Hygienist!
The past 10 years have been productive both inside and outside of the clinic walls - we have created partnerships with our local elementary schools - teaching students and parents the importance of good oral hygiene habits and nutrition - we have introduced oral health to local support groups, offered many MANY mouth guard clinics to our local hockey associations, and we have built trusting relationships with our local dental offices, health care clinics and specialist offices, allowing us to provide the highest level of quality care to our clients.
We opened our doors to our local high school, to provide opportunity for keen students to get a look into Independent Dental Hygiene - and have watched those students grow and flourish in their college careers and pursuing their path to a career in Dental Hygiene! Jillian has been with us since her Grade 12 year and continues to be an important part of our RDH family! Mikayla and Emma were Co-op students with us here at HHDH, and both are pursuing their DH college career!
Personally, the past 2 years have been full of extremely difficult challenges, discovering my strength and perseverance, and on occassion, the need to take some time away from the clinic. This time has shown not only myself and my family - but also our entire staff - how incredibly loyal and supportive our clients truly are. Our client family bond has grown much stronger over the past 10 years, and I will never forget the love and support and continual check in's we receive from all of you!
We have been blessed to continue to have our incredible receptionist Amber on our team! She is a fellow Georgian Graduate and has been an incredible addition to the clinic - I honestly am not sure how we managed so many years without her, but her expertise and knowledge is absolutely priceless, and this place would never be the same without her!
We’ve spent 10 years building relationships and working extremely hard (along with a few tears) and it has paid off - we have built an exceptional and trusted, professional clinic in our incredibly supportive community.
We are very much looking forward to what the rest of 2026 will bring - as we continue to grow, AND change is certainly on the horizon!
This year marks my 22nd year as a Registered Dental Hygienist! TWENTY TWO years of doing what I love!!! I am beyond fortunate that each and every single day I get to live my dream, my passion - and this would not be possible without the support of the most incredible family, friends, clients and mentors!! So THANK YOU, to each of you!!
Cheers to 10 years with my Independent Clinic and a 2026 full of growth, hope and continuing to provide Grey Highlands, and the surrounding communities, with the highest level of quality Dental Hygiene care!
