Cliff Kafka – Registered Denturist
Cliff Kafka is a registered denturist with 30+ years of hands‑on experience in denture design, fabrication, and fit. Over his career he has helped thousands of patients regain comfort, function, and confidence in their smiles with custom solutions tailored to each person’s features, bite, and lifestyle.
Cliff is known for his calm, personable chairside manner and for making a potentially stressful transition feel manageable. He regularly works with individuals who have postponed care due to dental anxiety, as well as patients affected by smoking, cancer treatment, traumatic injury, or long‑term tooth loss. His focus is to reduce discomfort, restore day‑to‑day function, and help patients return to the foods and routines they enjoy, often beginning with practical solutions such as relines or repairs when a full remake is not yet needed.
Cliff’s commitment to access is reflected in his support for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), which now assists eligible adults as well as seniors and youth. The clinic welcomes no‑charge consultations to discuss coverage and treatment pathways with patients who qualify.
Philosophy: Cliff believes the best outcomes come from listening first and designing together. By keeping every step under one roof and inviting patients into the process, he aims to deliver dentures that look natural, feel stable, and restore confidence in everyday life.
