From one generation to the next…

Kootenay SmiLing Denture Clinic is a small, family-run practice owned by licensed Denturist, Michelle Ling.

Michelle grew up learning from her father, Randy Ling, who provided denture care in the Kootenay’s for over 40 years. Although now retired, Randy still shares his pearls of wisdom and supports Michelle as a Dental Technician.

Together, we carefully evaluate the needs of those who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. Every denture we create is planned and handcrafted to look natural, restore confidence, and provide comfortable function for everyday life.

We know how important a confident smile is, and we can’t wait to help give you yours back!
