Dental hygienist at Downey Modern Dentistry and founder of Amplify AI Marketing—combining a passion for patient care and innovative marketing to make a meaningful impact.
At Downey Modern Dentistry, I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient — using the latest tools and techniques for a healthier smile.
Targeted irrigation therapy to flush harmful bacteria from periodontal pockets, reducing inflammation and supporting gum tissue healing.
Advanced soft-tissue laser treatment that decontaminates the gums, eliminates harmful bacteria, and stimulates blood clot formation to promote natural healing — helping the gum reattach to the tooth for improved periodontal health with minimal discomfort.
Site-specific antibiotic placement below the gumline to combat localized bacterial infection and support periodontal therapy outcomes.
Professional-grade whitening treatments for a brighter, more confident smile — safely applied and monitored by a licensed hygienist.
Thorough charting, x-ray review, and risk assessment to catch gum disease early and create a personalized prevention plan for each patient.
A breakthrough peptide-based treatment that reverses early signs of tooth decay and promotes natural enamel regeneration — with no drilling, no filling, and no injections. Curodont works by remineralizing and rebuilding tooth structure at the earliest stage of decay, preserving your natural tooth.
I've been proud to practice here since June 2023, working alongside ethical dentists who prioritize patient well-being above all else.
With Marie since June 2023
I believe patients deserve honest, evidence-based care — not unnecessary procedures. The dentists I work with share that philosophy. You'll always know exactly what you need and why before any treatment begins.
I'm a Registered Dental Hygienist with a passion for two things: helping patients achieve optimal oral health, and helping businesses grow through smart digital marketing.
In the clinic, I bring precision and genuine care to every patient — from routine cleanings to advanced periodontal therapies. Outside the clinic, I've spent the past 5 years building my marketing expertise and founding Amplify Ai Marketing, backed by a team with over 15 years of collective experience.
What connects both worlds? A commitment to doing things the right way — whether that means recommending only the dental treatment a patient truly needs, or building only marketing strategies that deliver real, measurable results.
A team with 15+ years of experience helping businesses get found online — led by Marie with 5 years of hands-on marketing expertise.

I am currently a Registered Dental Hygienist at Downey Modern Dentistry in Downey, CA — a position I've held since June 2023. I work alongside ethical dentists who prioritize patient health and honest, transparent care.
I provide a full range of dental hygiene services including: professional dental cleanings, bacterial decontamination with irrigation, laser therapy, subgingival antibiotic placement, and professional teeth whitening.
This is a specialized therapy where we irrigate the periodontal pockets (the spaces between your teeth and gums) with antimicrobial solution to flush out harmful bacteria. It's especially beneficial for patients with gum disease or persistent gum inflammation.
Dental laser therapy uses focused light energy to treat gum disease, remove infected tissue, and promote healing — all with minimal discomfort and a faster recovery than traditional methods. It's a precise, minimally invasive alternative.
Yes! In addition to my work as an RDH, I'm the founder of Amplify Ai Marketing. I've been learning and practicing marketing for approximately 5 years, and my team brings 15+ years of combined expertise in digital marketing, SEO, and AI-powered strategies.
The best way to schedule is to contact Downey Modern Dentistry directly and request Marie Hernandez as your dental hygienist. You can also use the contact form below and I'll point you in the right direction.
