Orchid Dental Care is providing dental sealants!!

This is a non invasive treatment to cover the deep grooves of your back teeth to prevent the risk of cavities.

It consists of a flowable white resin filling material that bonds to your tooth without the need to drill and remove enamel.

This can be done starting at 6 years old and older.

Most private dental insurances, CDCP, Healthy Smiles and Ontario Disability Support Program cover it. The cost ranges from $34 for the 1st molar in each corner of your mouth, and $17 for each additional tooth.

If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment, please contact by text messaging or emailing to:

My name is Joanne Shiaman and I have been providing Dental Hygiene Services for 25 years in private practice both in general dentistry and periodontics. Since moving to the Westport area, I felt ready to move ahead with my dream of opening up my independent Dental Hygiene Clinic to help serve my c....

Orchid Dental Care’s goal is to provide a dental hygiene service for anyone looking for a professional dental cleaning closer to their home without needing to travel far.

With the shortage of dental hygienists, many are on a 6-7 month wait time for an appointment. I am seeing many people who were overdue for their dental visits and the discomfort they have been having with their teeth and gums.

Independent dental hygienists like myself are starting dental hygiene clinics in small towns to help bridge this gap.

To help prevent dental cavities and gum disease, a detailed intake of your health, medications, diet and dental home care help to customize a dental cleaning frequency that will help keep your teeth and gums stable and healthy.

Dry mouth is a huge factor that contributes to higher cavity rates, gum irritation and high levels of tartar accumulation for many. Prescription medications, over the counter medications, mouth breathing from sinus issues and sleep apnea masks are just a few of the examples that cause these symptoms.
Let your dental hygienist know if this is an issue for you and we will provide guidance to help you manage it.

Coming soon to Orchid Dental care, take home whitening treatments. Thinking of brightening your smile and remove unwanted yellow stains inside your enamel. This whitening system is fluoride free, animal cruelty free and vegan friendly and made in Canada. 11% hydrogen peroxide, which enables the gel to work in 20 minute sessions each day at the comfort of your own home.

Hello community !! Just some information for you to know.

The federal government has launched a Dental
Coverage Program called the CDCP(Canadian Dental Care Plan). Since March 2024, Canadians have been able to receive dentistry treatments, such as exams, cleanings and dental work (fillings , dentures )etc.. It’s not free but it helps decrease the dental fees. This is assessed by the government according to your net family income of $90,000 or less. They may have mailed you a letter saying you qualify. Please reach out to them and sign up.
Presently, they have stopped mailing these qualification letters, and you will have to inquire yourselves. It’s worth it. Look into it.

If you have family members who are 18 and younger and 65+, these are the age groups who can use the coverage. Please talk to them and let them know. Not everyone is connected with social media.

19- 64 years of age , the government is waiting until 2025.

My clinic Orchid Dental Care has signed up with the CDCP program to provide dental cleanings. Please connect with me if you have any questions.
