Our Story
What’s Powering Smile Blanc
Thank you for your interest in Smile Blanc. For those of you whom I have not yet met, my name is Leah Verstraete and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, and the Owner of Smile Blanc.
My passion in dental hygiene grew from an enjoyment of visiting the dentist as a child, but I would never have thought that my career path would be based on something so simple.
In 2010, I attended the Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries; I remember being a fresh High School graduate crying at the airport, apprehensive of attending school away from home, and branching out towards a goal almost unattainable to me at the time. I often look back at this time in my life as a reminder of how far I have come – from a young 18-year-old with fears about the future, to 10 years later, opening my first hygiene location, Smile Blanc.
My time at school taught me patient compassion; one my favourite memories was cleaning the teeth of people faced with homelessness. This experience provided me with Smile Blanc’s guiding principles; to always treat people with kindness, empathy and dignity. Our new clinic will focus on ensuring patients feel comfortable with their services such as comfortable hygiene and patient confidentiality.

OUR MISSION
Smile Blanc was first conceptualized when I found myself becoming interested in the natural side of teeth whitening. The clinic I was working with at the time did not provide teeth whitening services to patients and I took the initiative to pitch the idea of after hour whitening services. Because of my motivation to provide clients with the ultimate experience with regards to teeth whitening, Smile Blanc saw an increase of over 200 patients. This demand made me realize the needs of the services I could provide, and the potential of a privatized dental hygiene clinic.
Starting February 2021, Smile Blanch will offer patients a full-hygiene service without the additional costs associated with seeing a licensed dentist. Dr. Mostafa who is a licensed dentist and orthodontist will be providing overarching support to the clinic with affordable Invisalign, and Dr. Palmer providing Injectables. Should you require any restorative dental work, Smile Blanc can refer you to one of our partners to ensure you are getting the care required or you can seek the dentist of your choice.
I would like to thank my existing clients for their positive feedback over the years and encouraging me to take this leap into the next phase of my career.
