Mr Thomas Vezina

Thomas Vezina was born and raised in Timmins Ontario, and has had an interest in denturism from a young age. Back in 2010, Thomas’ interest in the industry peaked after accompanying his grandfather to an appointment at Collins Denture and Implant Centre. Following this, Thomas wrote a letter to Mr. Keith Collins inquiring to see if he could observe the procedure of denture creation, and in exchange, he would shovel the steps at the office. Mr. Collins happily obliged and allowed Thomas to come in after school to learn as much as he could about the profession. From here, Thomas completed his high school job shadowing programs as well as his CO-OP education course offered through Timmins High and Vocational School at Collins Denture and Implant Centre under Mr. Collins’ guidance. Following this, Thomas was given the opportunity to become part of the team as a summer student at the office. After high school, Thomas decided to pursue his career dreams and applied to the Denturism program at George Brown College in Toronto, ON. With years of experience under his belt, a glowing recommendation letter from Mr. Collins and an in-depth interview with the college, Thomas was accepted into the program straight out of high school, something very few people accomplish. After graduating in 2015, Thomas returned home to Timmins and began his professional career. Today, he has a catalogue of his own patients for which he completes clinical appointments as well as the accompanying laboratory work and full fabrication of their dentures. Additionally, Thomas completes Mr. Collins laboratory work to help reduce his workload. Thomas quickly fell in love with the denturist profession at a young age as it allows him to express himself artistically, all while being part of the health science industry and changing people's lives for the better.
