This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Josie Schmitz-Burchartz, a denturist from British Columbia, who shared her inspiring journey and insights into the world of denturism. Josie's passion for dental care began at a young age, influenced by her father, who has been a denture technician for over 30 years. This early exposure led her to explore the field of denturism, where she found her calling.

Josie’s story is not just about her career; it’s about the relationships she builds with her patients. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the emotional aspects of denture work. For many patients, receiving dentures is a life-changing experience, and Josie strives to ensure they leave her practice with smiles on their faces. Her approach is patient-centered, focusing on long-term treatment plans rather than quick fixes.

Throughout the episode, Josie discusses the challenges she faced while establishing her practice, SB Denture Clinic. She opened her office just before COVID-19 hit, which brought unexpected hurdles. However, her determination and passion for her work helped her navigate these challenges successfully. She highlights the significance of teamwork in her practice, where she has built a strong team of professionals dedicated to providing quality care.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Josie's work is her commitment to using traditional methods in an increasingly digital world. While many are moving towards digital dentures, Josie believes in the value of hands-on techniques that allow her to connect with her patients and provide personalized care. Her dedication to quality over quantity is evident in her meticulous approach to dental impressions and patient consultations.
