Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
 The restorative dental hygienist is an experienced graduate dental hygienist who performs restorative procedures in addition to traditional preventive duties.
Applicants must be registered to practice dental hygiene in Ontario and have at least one year of experience as a dental hygienist.
The restorative dental hygienist, in compliance with the standards of practice approved by the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario, places amalgam, composite and temporary restorations, takes final impressions, cements temporary crowns and performs orthodontic procedures.
Learning takes place in co-ordination with Dental Technology, Denturism and Dental Assisting students. Students practice various procedures on a manikin, after which they work in our on-site clinic, performing restorative and cosmetic procedures on clients.
Note: Students must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take 6 to 8 weeks. To see those requirements go to georgebrown.ca/preplacement
Students must submit proof of a satisfactory medical examination upon entering the program.
This program is unique in Ontario.
 Vered Kadashev always knew that she wanted to be a health-care professional. After completing both nursing and dental hygiene, she had finally found her passion in health care.
Vered has been practicing as a dental hygienist since 2006; prior to this she had graduated from nursing in 2004. She realized that her passion in health care was in the dental field, and decided to go that route. Vered is always looking to grow in the dental hygiene profession, and therefore decided to do the restorative dental hygiene program at George Brown College.
With all the knowledge Vered already had, it just urged her to expand in the profession she had already loved.
"I couldn’t think of a better learning facility for the restorative dental hygiene program. The clinical instructors and dentists are extremely knowledgeable and are always there to teach with great pleasure. I am especially thankful to have had such amazing instructors in all aspects of the program. The program co-ordinator did such a great job in putting together quite a complex course, and made it simple and enjoyable for us. In completing the course, I feel comfortable with the knowledge that I now have to go out there in the real world and put my skills to work."
