Our Team

Alisha is currently in her third year of practicum as a Denturist in training with the First Impressions team.  She's had the opportunity to expand her knowledge and dexterity treating patients in the Denturism program and in our practice. Alisha believes that her attention to detail paired with her love of interacting and getting to know the patients is the driving force behind her chosen career path. Outside of the clinic, Alisha enjoys trying new foods, travelling, and spending time with her loved ones. Her absolute favourite colour is teal, and you will often find her wearing her teal scrubs at the clinic.
