Lisa Mandel - Registered Dental Assistant Level 2 with a Preventive Dentistry Module
Hi, I am Lisa Mandel. I grew up east of Olds on a hobby farm. I graduated from High School with full Esthetics and after graduation furthered my studies as nail technician. I attended College of New Caledonia in Prince George BC and graduated as a Registered Dental Assistant with my Level 2 (meaning I could practice all certified Skills) I also took one year of university studies towards a Dental Hygiene program. I then stayed for three years and moved back to Alberta. I did aesthetics and nails out of a salon after my regular dental work day. I have always had a keen interest in both Dental and Aesthetics. Over the years I have been able to work in various fields of dentistry and have taken many courses to further my education in related fields. I graduated from SAIT with my Preventative Dentistry module and was asked to come back and help teach. I also teach piano and make custom jewellery. I Love sharing the knowledge I have with other people. I now have over 10 years in the dental field and even longer in Esthetics.
I came up with the concept of a Dental Hygiene Spa many years ago, but it wasn't until recently that Dental Hygienists were able to practice their skills in private practice that this became a reality for me. Over the years patients were always telling me I can’t relax in here with all these dental noises and smells. I really took into consideration what everyone was telling me and now you can have a relaxing, professional dental cleaning, covered by benefits, that is in a totally different environment and you can relax! Patients can have a combination of dental and spa treatments together or one after the other!
The feedback that our office has already received from patients makes it all worth it. I am so excited about what we have to offer you! Please feel free to drop in, have a coffee, have a free consultation and we’ll show you around the office.
Dusty McDougall - Registered Dental Hygienist
Hi! My name is Dusty McDougall and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I have been in the dental field for 19 years -- that is a lot of teeth!
I started my career as a Dental Assistant in Edmonton and then took my training in London, England 13 years ago to become a Dental Hygienist.
I am very excited about the recent advantage of being an Independent Dental Hygienist -- this allows my creativity to soar! Being a Dental Hygienist in a relaxing spa environment is one way to capture a very unique, customized and refreshing approach to your dental hygiene visits. It is exciting to know that you can have a massage, sauna and dental cleaning all in one place. You couldn't ask for anything more revitalizing!
I take great pride in forming a trusting friendship with all my patients and strictly ensure that each patient feels comfortable and safe. I want you to be able to ask questions and gain knowledge about your dental health and I promise to work with you to help you attain optimum oral health.
With my extremely gentle manner and friendly approachable attitude, you will definitely have a unique and peaceful experience at Soothing Smiles!
I look forward to meeting you!!
