At HyMy Village oral health services, you will be met in an unhurried and professional manner by dental hygiene students from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The services are supervised by our instructors, who are healthcare professionals.
We treat patients of various ages who have been referred by the dental care services of the City of Helsinki. You will need a referral from your local municipal dentist.
Once you have received a referral from the Helsinki City Oral Health Services, it will be sent electronically to our teaching clinic, and a dental hygiene student will call you to book your first appointment. Treatment is free of charge for Helsinki residents.
• At your first appointment, we will perform a comprehensive oral examination, including caries and periodontal (gum and supporting tissue) assessments. The supervising instructor will review any findings together with the dental hygiene student.
• During the appointment, you will also receive instructions and, if necessary, guidance on oral self-care.
• Together, we will create a treatment plan based on your symptoms and agree on any necessary follow-up appointments.
• Any required procedures will be performed during your follow-up visits.
We also offer private oral health services, for which you can book an appointment directly by phone without a referral. These services include, for example, tartar removal, stain removal, tooth whitening, and the application of dental jewelry. Private oral health services are fee-based. Treatments provided by students are not covered by Kela reimbursement.
An appointment is required for consultations. You can book an appointment for private oral health services by calling our customer service. For non-urgent matters, you can also use our chat service. Private oral health services are low-threshold services and do not require a referral.
If you are a patient of the Helsinki health center dental care, you will need a referral from your local municipal dentist. Once we have received the referral, a dental hygiene student will contact you.
