Smile Blanc

Smile Blanc is a dental hygiene clinic located in downtown Calgary, Alberta, that specializes in preventative oral care and teeth whitening. The business uses Swiss technology and AI charting to provide gentle, science-based teeth cleaning services. It is designed for patients seeking comfort and wellness-focused dental appointments in the Calgary SW area.

The clinic operates on a comfort care menu designed to reduce anxiety, and it offers a complimentary Sonicare toothbrush to patients who receive x-rays and exams. This free item is part of their effort to create a spa-like environment that addresses concerns associated with dental anxiety.

Patients can add teeth whitening to any cleaning service for a fee of $300. This add-on is marketed as a way to elevate oral health and achieve a confident, healthy smile.

The clinic utilizes Guided Biofilm Therapy, which is described as the first such method in Calgary to eliminate the need for gritty polishing paste and uncomfortable scaling tools. This Swiss technology is used to ensure precision, comfort, and results during teeth cleaning.

The practice follows a guiding principle to always treat people with kindness, empathy, and dignity, a concept developed by owner Leah Verstraete. This approach was influenced by her experience cleaning the teeth of people faced with homelessness during her training.

The clinic is led by Leah Verstraete, a Registered Dental Hygienist who opened her first location after attending the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries in 2010. She conceptualized the business to deliver an exceptional teeth whitening experience after seeing high demand for after-hours services.

The team includes Karm, a Registered Dental Hygienist known for her gentle touch and friendly personality, as well as Hanna, an Administrative Coordinator who manages the schedule and welcomes visitors. Both staff members are highlighted for their roles in making visits stress-free.

Smile Blanc offers a variety of services including atraumatic restorative therapy, digital x-rays, tooth gems, and teeth cleaning. These treatments are tailored for sensitive smiles and are part of their preventative care focus.

The clinic is located at 620 10 Ave SW #130 in Calgary, AB, and can be reached by phone at (587) 577-5446. Office hours vary by day, with the clinic operating from Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Reviewers praise the clinic for its great equipment and the gentle, kind nature of the hygienists, such as Leah and Karm. Many visitors report feeling comfortable and barely experiencing discomfort during their visits.

The business claims to be the first dental hygiene clinic in Calgary to utilize Swiss technology and Guided Biofilm Therapy. This distinction is highlighted as a key feature of their practice.

The clinic focuses on preventative care to reduce the need for more invasive procedures like root canals, dental implants, and fillings. They believe regular cleaning contributes to holistic wellness and protects overall health.

The clinic was established after Leah Verstraete identified a gap in the market for privatized dental hygiene clinics with a focus on after-hours teeth whitening. This initiative led to a significant increase in patients and the eventual opening of the downtown location.
