Welcome to SMYLE essentials, your trusted dental hygiene practice in Hayward, California.
SMYLE essentials was founded by Stephanie Gordillo and Cynthia Dillon, both Registered Dental Hygienists in Alternative Practice (RDHAP). With years of clinical experience, they are dedicated to providing high-quality preventive dental care in a comfortable and patient-focused environment.
Their journey began in 2007 when they met in college and shared a passion for preventive dentistry and patient education. Over the years, they built their experience in clinical settings while developing a vision to create a more accessible and personalized approach to dental hygiene.
In 2020, during the pandemic, they took the opportunity to advance their careers and become licensed RDHAP providers. This allowed them to open their own independent dental hygiene practice focused on delivering affordable and convenient care to the community.
Today, SMYLE essentials offers professional teeth cleanings, preventive dental services, and patient-centered care designed to support long-term oral health. Their mission is to make dental care more accessible while maintaining the highest standards of quality and comfort.
At SMYLE Essentials, patients can expect a calm, welcoming environment where education and transparency are a priority. The goal is not only to provide excellent care, but also to help each patient better understand their oral health and feel confident in maintaining it.
