A few months ago, I had a pretty rough experience at a new dental clinic. I walked in thinking I was getting a routine cleaning but left feeling more like I’d participated in one of those extreme makeover TV shows—except my gums were bleeding, and I was in a lot of pain.
Since then I’ve been careful about who I let work on my dental hygiene. I had some help from the rest of the Best in Edmonton team to look for a better dental hygienist, not just for me but for every Edmontonian out there.
After speaking with various dental hygienists and their patients, we finally found the ones who don’t just give you a clean mouth, but also peace of mind. Here are the best dental hygienists in Edmonton that you can trust will help you maintain a radiant smile!
How much does it cost to see a dental hygienist in Edmonton?
It costs at least 100 CAD to see a dental hygienist in Edmonton. This is just an estimate and the final cost will vary depending on what dental services you get and the hygienist’s personal rate.
How We Chose

Jasmine’s holistic approach of combining modernity while being planet-friendly sets them apart. And it’s not just because of the bamboo toothbrushes and coconut floss goodies. They use digital solutions for almost everything, so there’s zero paper clutter.
They offer a wide range of services, from regular checkups to mobile dental hygiene. They also screen for oral cancer and take care of scaling, root planing, and sealants.
And when it comes to more serious stuff like periodontal disease treatment, many have said their soft tissue laser reduces discomfort and promotes faster healing.
Other patients commented on the desensitization and needle-free anesthesia. Those who used to dread cleanings aren’t as anxious now.
Many of their patients also really appreciate that every cleaning comes with free teeth whitening.
People also rave about not having to pay upfront because Jasmine Dental deals directly with insurance companies.
Explains every single thing about your teeth health
“Elzara is awesome hygienist who I met in Edmonton. She explains every single thing about your teeth health. She speaks english, russian, turkish and uzbek. Kids loves her. My kids opened their mouth at first time in their cleaning visit. She even has a treasure chest for kids. I highly recommend the place to visit if you care about your teeth to much lol. The place is super clean and she put my kids their favorite shows on TV while they were in waiting room. Price is very affordable. Thank you again Elzara!”

Elzara is the kindest hygienist I have ever met
“Today, I went for my tooth gem and Elzara is the kindest hygienist I have ever met. She is very warm to talk to and will explain everything of what she does. I will definitely go back to her for my teeth whitening and more gems to add on my teeth. I am glad I found her clinic very close to my house. I highly recommended Jasmine Dental Hygiene Clinic, and they do mobile clinic too, so check out their website and give them a call! 👍”

Radiographs, checking for early tooth decay, and even help for obstructive sleep apnea—Grin Dental does it all. And they are fully wheelchair accessible, making it easy for everyone to get their dental care without hassle.
From what we’ve gathered, the dental hygienists at Grin make patients feel at ease the moment they sink into the chair. People love coming here because they can enjoy their favourite Netflix shows while they get their teeth cleaned.
The hygienists here even offer you warm blankets if you’re a little cold while sitting in the dental chair.
Others also love that the clinic is quiet. There are no loud drilling sounds to freak you out—just a peaceful environment. Not to mention, the enclosed operatories help with privacy and those wanting to socially distance themselves to avoid catching an illness.
However, some people did mention that because there are only two operatories, there can be a bit of a wait.
She is very knowledgeable, friendly
“First time I have used a hygienist outside of my dentist’s office. And, I can’t say enough about the professional premises, cleanliness and above all Holley the owner operator. She is very knowledgeable , friendly and provided me with good information and direction on how best to take care of my teeth. A good location with available parking.”

Her bedside manner is top notch
“Okay listen up if you’re a young person with anxiety who hates over stimulating interactions, Holly’s is the place to be. She let me watch my youtube videos, her space is comfortable, private, and her bedside manner is top notch. Grin’s Dental makes me want to go to the dentist as self care.”

Floss Bosses aren’t just about cleanings and check-ups. They offer a wide range of services—gum disease treatment, myofunctional therapy, and even laser therapy.
Everyone raves about the complimentary teeth whitening. Not to mention, their fees for treatment are lower than the Alberta Dental Fee Guide—with treatments as low as 30 CAD.
But what really stands out is that they have one day each month just for autistic patients. Several parents with autistic children told us their children never felt more at ease going to the dentist because of it.
And if you’re someone with dental anxiety, many people praised how their dental hygienists handle nervous patients.
Others also raved about the thoroughness of their dental hygienists during the actual cleaning. Not a single person had left-over food in between their teeth by the time they left the dental chair.
That said, we’ve heard a few people complain about the slow customer service over the phone.

If your little one needs dental care and you’re looking for experts who are patient, skilled, and equipped with the latest tech, Clean Smiles Dental Hygiene Clinic is worth a visit.
Parents absolutely love the free consultations. They offer just about everything you’d need for your child’s dental care—from comprehensive screenings to fancy laser treatments for sensitive teeth. They also do teeth whitening!
Parents like how the professional, yet warm, approach of their dental hygienists makes the experience so much less scary for their kids. They also appreciated that the dental hygienist explained what they were doing during the cleaning in a way that was easy to understand.
They even have a large selection of toys for the kids to choose from when their appointment is over.
The only complaint we’ve heard about them was that depending on what insurance you have, their dental treatments might not be covered. This means you’ll have to pay out of pocket.
Friendly, educated and professional staff
“Best cleaning ever! Friendly, educated and professional staff. Dr Anila & Dr Mehran were both gentle, walked us through every step of the process and even made some recommendations that we truly appreciate. Exceptional service and overall experience. Definitely recommend!”

5. LYT Oral Care
Title | Info |

WEBSITE | http://lytoralcare.com |
ADDRESS | 12970 97 St NW #202, Edmonton, AB T5E 4C3, Canada |
CONTACT DETAILS | +1 (780) 540-8305 |
OPERATING HOURS | Tuesday and Thursday - 10 AM to 6:30 PM
Wednesday - 10 AM to 6 PM Friday - 10 AM to 4:30 PM Saturday - 10 AM to 5 PM |
If you’re in the market for less painful dental visits, give Lytoral Care a try.
They provide exceptional guided biofilm therapy (GBT). It’s a way to clean teeth that’s gentler and more effective than traditional methods. Plus, it helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
People like that before they do anything, they review your dental history and take the time to address any concerns you have. They do everything from taking digital x-rays to giving your gums and jaws a detailed evaluation.
From what we’ve gathered, the cleanings are efficient. They do scaling, polishing, and even some root planing if needed. And if you have sensitive teeth, they use Crystals desensitizer to help keep your teeth pain-free for months.
Others also liked how they handled anaesthetics. They don’t use needles. Instead, they use a special mouthwash called Dyclonine that numbs your gums for an hour, so there’s no discomfort at all.
However, some people complained about the time it took to be seen by the hygeniest. If you’re looking for a quick in and out, this might not be the place for you.
My hygienist Suzanne always does a great job
“Fantastic experience at LYT! Beautiful and clean clinic, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Susan and her team make you feel welcome and all services were explained in detail! My hygienist Suzanne always does a great job during my cleaning even with my sensitive teeth, and gives me tips for cleaning at home. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this dental clinic to all friends and family!”
