About Us

Alex has been a denturist for more than 25 years. A Hamilton native, he started his career as a denture technician in his hometown. This positive experience inspired him to enroll in the denturism field in 1988. He received his diploma in denturism from George Brown College in 1991. Alex opened his first office in Burlington and has formed relationships with many dentists over the years. For clients who are in retirement homes and face mobility challenges, Alex still does old-fashioned house calls. Contact us directly to inquire about this service.

When he’s not helping complete patients’ smiles, Alex enjoys travelling, golfing, and boating
