Meet Amie Banting Dental Hygienist
Owner and Founder of Heritage Dental Hygiene
​
Amie Banting’s passion for dentistry began at a young age, inspired by her late father, Dr. R.W. Banting, a dedicated dentist. Growing up in his practice, she developed a deep appreciation for compassionate patient care and the importance of oral health.
​
In 2003, Amie graduated from The Canadian Institute of Dental Hygiene in Hamilton, Ontario, and became certified through the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board. She later advanced her training by completing the Restorative Dental Hygiene program with honours at George Brown College in 2006.
​
In 2008, Amie founded Heritage Dental Hygiene in Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of Ontario’s first storefront independent dental hygiene practices. For over 16 years, she has proudly provided personalized, patient-centered care, helping individuals and families achieve healthy, confident smiles.
​
Beyond her clinical practice, Amie is recognized as a leader and advocate in the dental profession. She has served on the Independent Dental Hygiene Practice Advisory Committee and continues to lecture across Canada, mentor dental professionals, and contribute to advancing best practices in oral health care. Amie is also a Key Opinion Leader with HuFriedy Group and is currently pursuing her MBA, strengthening her expertise in health care strategy, business leadership, and innovation.
​
Her dedication to whole-person health extends beyond dentistry. Amie completed the Culinary Nutrition Expert program in 2013, reinforcing her belief in the vital connection between nutrition, systemic health, and oral wellness. As a breast cancer survivor, Amie leads with resilience and compassion. She raised $9,000 with her team “Amie’s Advocates” for the CIBC Run for the Cure and continues to support causes close to her heart.
​
When she’s not in the office, Amie enjoys spending time with her husband and her niece, Lilly, staying active, and exploring the Niagara Region.
