With almost three decades of hands-on experience, Damien Hiorth is the founder and lead denturist at Dentures Direct, serving patients across Toronto and the GTA. Known for tackling even the most complex denture cases, Damien has become a trusted name in both traditional and implant-retained prosthetics.

Today, his primary focus is on digital dentures — offering patients impression-free solutions through the use of the latest technology, including intraoral scanners, CNC milling, and 3D printing. By embracing cutting-edge workflows, Damien ensures patients receive more accurate, efficient, and comfortable results than ever before.

In addition to his clinical expertise, Damien has played a key role in the advancement of denturism education in Ontario. He served as a Clinical Professor in the Denturism Program at Georgian College and as Head Clinical Instructor in the Denturism Program at Oxford College, where he mentored the next generation of denturists and shared his expertise in both clinical care and laboratory innovation.

Damien has also contributed to the profession as a member of multiple committees at the College of Denturists of Ontario (CDO), including Quality Assurance (Panel B), Registration, and Patient Relations.
