meet Your Hygienist

Hello, I’m Jillian!

But almost everyone calls me Jill 🙂 I was born in Singapore in ‘93 (and an Aries, in case you wanted to know). I’ve worked in private practice in Langley since graduating from UBC with a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Science in Dental Hygiene in 2014. I opened Risette in 2024 with my sister, Jerry, who took a permanent hiatus in 2026. (Please let me know if you’re looking to get in contact with her. I’d miss her, too!)

I currently live in Walnut Grove with my husband, Joo. We love to travel, though I admit it is mostly to eat delicious food! My hobbies are baking, gardening, amateur interior home design, and I adore dogs and animals. My greatest talents are sleeping in well past noon and a drycleaner-like ability to get stains out of things 🙂

As a hygienist, I strive to be gentle, attentive, and evidence-based – and make your appointments as enjoyable as possible! I love to chit-chat and like to hum to the music, but totally get it if you just want to listen to a podcast or nap. I take your comfort seriously – please let me know how I can help you love dental visits and your smile 🙂

Thanks for joining us at Risette. I can’t wait to meet you!

I had the BEST dental cleaning experience of my life here. I was shocked how painless a scaling treatment can be. Plus, they are super educational! Taught me everything I need to know to keep my teeth healthy and prevent cavities the CORRECT way. No gimmicks! Also, they forwarded my x ray images to my dentist so I didn’t have to book a separate visit for my dentist. And lastly, the place is super clean and beautiful!

My dental experience with Risette Dental Hygiene has been nothing short of amazing. If I had experiences like that in my childhood, I would not be so anxious going as an adult! Wow! Who knew a dental cleaning could be so comfortable and stress free? They were so gentle cleaning my teeth. It really helped keep me calm. Their friendly and personable demeanour lets you relax in their chair while they work so effortlessly on you. A positive dental experience. So glad I found this clinic!!

I had the pleasure of getting my teeth cleaned and whitened at Risette and I had the most wonderful experience. The whole process was very comfortable and easy and I couldn’t recommend them more! They were extremely thorough with everything which I appreciated because I have felt rushed and not fully taken care of at dental appointments in the past. If you’re looking for a place that will not only do a wonderful job on your teeth but also make you feel welcome and comfortable then Risette is your place! Thankyou again girls 🙂
Rachel
Today I visited Risette Dental Hygiene in Latimer Village. Their service was so good that it's hard to put into words. Also, I was grateful that they sent me a reminder message via email and phone. It was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep while receiving dental cleaning, and polishing. I am very satisfied with the results of the treatment, and I appreciate the professionalism and kindness throughout the service process and highly recommend them.
LEVI
I had an outstanding experience at Risette Dental Hygiene for both teeth cleaning and whitening. Jill and Jerry were professional, warm, and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The clinic itself was spacious, clean, and inviting.

I've never been a fan of getting my teeth cleaned, but Jerry's friendly, thorough, and gentle approach made the experience surprisingly pleasant. It didn't feel like a typical dental cleaning. As for the teeth whitening, being my first time, Jerry provided a clear explanation of the procedure and patiently answered all my questions. The large TV in each room made the waiting time during the whitening process enjoyable and relaxing.

Visiting a regular dental office has never given me such a relaxing and satisfying experience. I am absolutely thrilled with the results.

Thank you, Jill and Jerry!

I had such a lovely experience at Risette Dental. My cleaning with Jillian was fast, comfortable, and very thorough. My mouth felt spotless! I decided last minute to get a whitening treatment and the girls at Risette were so kind to accommodate. My teeth are significantly brighter and I've had no sensitivity afterwards. I've never left a dental office feeling such a drastic difference in my smile.

I've never felt so comfortable at a dental appointment before! I used to dread having to get a cleaning, but Jillian was very patient and made the appointment easy and relaxing. The clinic itself is very welcoming, and you can tell that the hygienists value and focus on patient centered care. I am ecstatic to have found a clinic in an accessible location in Langley with flexible availability. Would highly recommend.

I recently got a dental cleaning done and Risette and I am so happy I found them! Jerry and Jillian’s approach to creating a stress-free and welcoming environment is truly what intrigued me! I’ve never felt so comfortable and at ease while getting my teeth cleaned. On top of that, as a small business owner, it’s so convenient to have a budget friendly dental bill. I can’t wait to be a regular client! Thanks again!

I recently visited Risette Dental Hygiene in Latimer Village to get my teeth whitened. Jill and Jerry were so welcoming as soon as I arrived and made me feel comfortable instantly. Their clinic was also spotless and spacious, with plenty of natural light.

Given it was my first time with teeth whitening, I was slightly nervous but Jill did a fantastic job explaining the procedure and answering my questions in detail. It was such an easy, painless, and relaxing process that I fell asleep! There was even a large TV situated above me which provided some entertainment while I waited during the procedure. From start to finish – it felt like a premium dental experience. I’ll definitely be back for a cleaning next time.

Thank you Jill & Jerry!

I had an exceptional dental cleaning experience at Risette. The hygienist used a combination of hand scaling and power tools, which made my teeth feel incredibly clean. She was meticulous, checking everything 2-3 times, which I really appreciated. I will definitely go back for future cleanings and highly recommend Risette to all my friends.
Jessica
Jerry and Jillian are both excellent hygienists. Their relaxed yet professional approach to their craft, have helped me overcome my anxieties at dental visits. I highly recommend their services without hesitation.

The ladies at Risette Dental are amazing!!! The care and precision they show in their work is unmatched. I have never enjoyed or felt more relaxed during a dental cleaning more than at Risette! Book in immediately with them!
Jermaine
I have pretty bad dental anxiety but Jerry and Jill are always so comforting, quick, and gentle! I also have a 4 year old son who is autistic and has adhd and they’re able to keep him entertained and happy throughout his appointment. I’d highly recommend!

My teeth have never been so clean and healthy in my life, (I’m 68 years old), since I starting going to Jill and Jeri. They have been cleaning and caring for my oral health for over five years. In every aspect, these professionals do an incredible job cleaning my teeth and caring for my oral health.

They are very professional and very personable. They talk to me in terms I can easily understand about my dental care and oral health They make me feel comfortable and pain free during every cleaning. They are very gentle and very thorough. They succeeded in getting me to floss my teeth daily where no other hygienist or dentist had been successful. This has resulted in a remarkable improvement in the health of my gums.

I cannot speak highly enough about my family's experience with Jillian and Jeraldine. Their welcoming smile and warm demeanor make every dental visit a pleasant one.

They pay meticulous attention to detail during cleanings. They take time to thoroughly explain each step of the process. Their gentle yet thorough approach leaves our teeth feeling incredibly clean and refreshed. Beyond technical skills, Jillian and Jeraldine go the extra mile to educate us about proper oral care practices, providing helpful tips and recommendations tailored to our individual needs.

My family and I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian and Jeraldine to anyone in search of a knowledgeable, caring and skilled dental hygienist. Your smiles will be healthy and bright!!

If you want to get the picturesque smile before a trip, this is where you go. Went in for a whitening, and it turned out much much better than anticipated.

Amazing Experience! My family and I have been seeing Jerry and Jillian for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier! They are super friendly, explain everything, and make you feel really comfortable. My teeth have never felt cleaner, and the office is modern and spotless. Highly recommend if you want great care and a stress-free visit!

Amazing Experience! For the first time in my life, I look forward to my dental cleanings because of Jillian. Her cleanings are extremely thorough and meticulous, and my teeth have never looked better since seeing her. She is extremely well-educated, friendly and professional, and always gives me great tips to keep my teeth healthy and clean. The office is clean and inviting, and there is an amazing space for children. I’m definitely a lifelong client!
Lorraine
I have a bit of an anxiety going for dental work but my cleaning with Jerry was the most relaxing part of my day! The entire apt didn't feel so "clinical". Sunday evening was quiet, never felt rushed. Jerry answered questions, gave me feedback on my at home dental care. I don't have dental plan so she did what was necessary without compromise, no upselling, just a great cleaning! Great care and I will be certain to be back and recommend to friends and family. I would feel comfortable with either Jerry or Jillian, they both have a degree in Dental Hygiene have lots of experience and this first impression made me very at ease. Thank you Jerry!
Thuy
Jill was amazing at her craft! I felt really comfortable and I love that she was able to educate me on what was happening during my teeth cleaning. She was gentle during the process as well.
Philip
I've been getting my teeth cleaned for over 20 years, but always hated the thought of it because of how painful it was and I was told it was normal. But this was not the case here and the best experience by far! With the perfect amount of pressure and checking in to see if I was okay. My teeth feel and look excellent. 10/10 recommend.

We’d love to hear from you
