Meet the Denturist

Jason Ioannou was born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario.

He achieved his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto in 2005 and went on to earn his Denturism diploma from George Brown College, in Toronto, in 2008.

Since graduating from George Brown College, Jason has been practicing denture therapy in a busy private practice in the Kitchener downtown core, providing quality denture services directly to the public.

In October of 2023 Jason opened a new clinic - KW Dentures - and has been providing denture care from that location ever since. 

Jason is a member of the College of Denturists of Ontario, the Denturist Association of Ontario, the Denturist Association of Canada and the International Federation of Denturists.

Jason actively pursues any opportunity to further his knowledge by attending many continuing education courses and seminars throughout the year. This allows him to keep up with the most cutting edge methods and procedures which he applies to his practice to the benefit of his patients.

Out of the office, Jason enjoys spending his time with his wife, daughter and son, fishing, boating, taking day trips, playing with the dogs, traveling and relaxing at the cottage.
"Providing patients with dentures that fit good, look great and function well is my personal mission. Returning a patients self confidence and improving their quality of life is what motivates me every day to do my best with every patient that walks in the door."

"There’s something truly special about seeing someone light up when they see their new smile.  My profession gives me the privilege to blend skill with compassion, and that’s a responsibility I carry with pride every single day. Each patient I meet reminds me why I chose this path—to make a real difference, one smile at a time."

Since emigrating to Canada, Tatiana attended the dental hygiene program in Mississauga and has since found her calling in dental office administration working in various dental offices and clinics.   Greeting people with a friendly demeanor and a genuine care for those who need help is Tatiana's greatest strength in her role at the clinic.
