Our story
Why This Practice Exists
Fort Myers has no shortage of dental offices, but plenty of them are corporate chains where a different dentist greets you every six months, your history lives in a database instead of a person's memory, and every visit seems to surface a new procedure. Dental Hygiene Centers was built to be the other thing. The practice is locally owned and sits at 5995 South Pointe Blvd, right off College Parkway, and the goal is simple: the same familiar doctors see your family visit after visit, so they actually know your history, your kids' names, and what "normal" looks like for your mouth. Because it is locally owned, when you need something handled differently you are talking to the people who make the decisions here, not a policy manual written at a headquarters in another state.
- Conservative treatment. Only the procedures a patient actually needs get recommended. If watching a tooth instead of treating it is the honest call, that is what you hear, not a sales pitch dressed up as a diagnosis.
- Transparent pricing. Costs and reasoning are explained before treatment starts, so nothing shows up as a surprise bill weeks later. The front desk verifies insurance ahead of your visit for the same reason.
- Relationships over volume. The practice would rather keep a smaller, steady patient base that it knows well than churn through new faces every appointment. That is the whole difference between this office and a chain.

Who You Will See
That continuity shows up in the reviews more than anywhere else. Patients do not just say the practice is friendly, they name the people: Jen at the front desk, hygienist Shawna, Dr. Hunter Williams, Dr. Yandy Orozco, and Dr. Rodriguez. A rotating-dentist chain cannot earn that kind of review. A small, stable team can.
Dr. Hunter Williams, Dr. Yandy Orozco, and Dr. Rodriguez are the dentists who treat patients here, and reviews describe them as patient, thorough, and unusually good at explaining what they are doing and why before they do it. Dr. Williams is a Fort Myers native and third-generation Floridian who earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Florida and his DMD at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, and he is a member of the American Dental Association and the Florida Dental Association. You can read a fuller profile of each dentist on the our doctors page.
Jen Brown, the office manager, is often the first person a new patient talks to, and reviewers consistently mention how she puts people at ease from the first phone call. Shawna Doyle works alongside the doctors chairside and is named repeatedly by patients for gentle, careful care during cleanings and procedures.
It is a small team on purpose. Every one of them is a name a returning patient recognizes, which is exactly the relationship a corporate chain cannot offer. If you are choosing between staying with a rotating-dentist office and switching, that continuity, backed by a 5.0 rating across 92 Google reviews, is the case for switching.
Insurance and How Paying for Care Works Here
