Jennifer loves to give the gift of a new, complete smile with dentures. In 2008, she received a diploma in Denturism from George Brown College. She finds it very rewarding to help patients regain their confidence and eat with ease. And nothing compares to their reaction during a big reveal! For every patient, Jennifer’s philosophy is that a prosthetic needs to not only fit and function well but also look natural.

When she isn’t creating picture-perfect smiles, she likes to spend time at home with her family, friends, and standard poodle named Tula. She is a board member of the Denturist Association.
