Josephine Schmitz-Burchartz

RD, DD, UBC BA PSYO
SEMCD Certified Clinician

Josephine is the owner of SB Denture Clinic Corp. and graduated from Denturism with Honours as her Class Representative.

She completed her practicum with certified Suction Denture teachers.

Throughout her career as a denturist, Josephine has worked with many renowned dentists and specialists within the British Columbia interior region. Josephine’s first business was in the food industry at the age of 19 which she sold at 24. Her experience and training with food and diet have helped her understand the incredible impact food has on quality of life. This understanding extends to an understanding of how properly fitting dentures can greatly improve quality of life by not only improving a patient’s confidence but also helping them enjoy the foods they love.

When Josephine isn’t at her denture clinic, she enjoys cooking, exploring outdoors, and spending time with her family and her dog, Ike. Originally from the Okanagan, Josephine looks forward to welcoming you to SB Denture Clinic and offering her services in English and German.
