Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that can bring about the biggest smiles. A kind word, a funny joke, a heartfelt compliment. We are all capable of making someone smile. But to actually craft a smile – that is a specialized talent left to the professionals, like Dadswell Denture Clinic in Collingwood.
Kim Dadswell has been a Denturist since 1996, and is the owner and operator of Dadswell Denture Clinic at 72 Pine Street in Collingwood. Alongside her support team, Kim provides a full slate of services for clients in need of complete, partial, implant-retained and immediate dentures.
After graduating with honours from George Brown College, Kim accepted a position as Associate Denturist at a clinic in Collingwood. In 1998, Kim purchased the clinic and opened Dadswell Denture Clinic. “This began the next level in my career and has allowed me to provide some of the more advanced denture skills and techniques to my patients”, explains Dadswell, who shares a deep appreciation for her clients, and the community she now calls home.
“I love that Collingwood has most of the things that a larger city has in terms of services, and we're not too far away from Toronto, but it still has a small town feel. It is a great place to raise a family.”
Dadswell Denture Clinic professionally repairs, maintains and custom-build the highest quality dentures in their modern in-house lab. This also allows the staff to create products that meet the very specific needs of each client. It also allows them to get to know each patient, answer their questions and dispel many of the myths surrounding dentures:
Q: Why should I see a Denturist?
DDC: Dentures are a removable appliance and each is different from one person to the next; in order to get the comfort and beauty in each custom fit, we personalize every step to satisfy our clients and help ensure their confidence and self-esteem.
Q: Do I need a referral?
DDC: Anyone can consult a Denturist without a referral from another health care professional. Denturists provide the most cost- and time-effective denture treatment and at Dadswell Denture Clinic most lab work is performed on premise by Kim and her team.
Q: I’m nervous how life might change. Can I still enjoy my favourite foods?
DDC: Dentures replace painful, loose or missing teeth. So, professionally crafted and properly fitting dentures can actually improve your ability to bite and chew foods. Add this to the confidence and pleasure of showing off your new smile and yes – your life can change, for the better.
Q: Can you work with my Benefits Administrator?
DDC: Yes, we are happy to assist you with submitting the paperwork, for both claims and predetermination, to your insurance company on your behalf. For predetermination, this service allows you to know which specific services are covered by your plan, and how much they will pay.
If you have been considering partial or full dentures, it’s natural to have questions. Kim Dadswell welcomes clients to call or visit the clinic to learn more about the many options available. “I really enjoy interacting with old and new clients and learning who they are, and how I can help them improve some aspects of their life. I try to build a relationship with each one and keep everything very personalized,” says Dadswell, stressing that each person and smile is different and a "cookie cutter solution" is not the best answer for everyone.
“Seeing a denturist is part of getting individualized care for each person's needs, wants and situations. For some people, it’s a matter of simply replacing missing teeth. For others, it’s an entire makeover and dream. One of my clients last week said: "I have waited 62 years for straight teeth and now I finally have them!"
