Our Team
Markus Fischer
Registered Denturist, Registered Dental Technician, Provincial Instructor Diploma
Markus focuses on implant-denture, complete denture, and relines cases. Other appointments/cases are assigned to his son-in-law, Zach.
Markus was born and raised in Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1986. He has been actively involved in the dental field for the past 20 years and began his career as a dental technician in 1993. He worked in a commercial dental lab as well as an in-house lab technician for several orthodontists.
In 1999 he accepted a part-time position as an instructor in the dental technology program at Vancouver Community College and in 2002 he became once again a full-time student at VCC to become a denturist.
Markus retained his position at Vancouver Community College until recently where he worked as a clinical instructor in the denturist program. He is uniquely qualified to be registered both as a denturist (RD) as well as a dental technician (RDT); in 2012 he also completed the Provincial Instructor Diploma.
Markus has attended many courses over the years and has received the following certifications:
- BPS Precision Dentures
- EPIC Partial Denture, Complete Denture and Implant Provider
- Dr. Abe Suction Efficient Dentures (SEMCD)
This additional training allows him to advance and hone his knowledge and practical skills in order to give you the best possible denture care.
Markus is very active in the community. He resides with his wife and seven children in Mission and you may meet him and his family at various community and school events. Markus is a member of the Mission Rotary Club and he regularly presents at various wellness events supporting his community. Make sure to say hi if you run into Markus at 6 am at the Leisure Centre during an AquaFit class.
Please give us a call and find out why a “Denturist is a Denture Specialist!”
Zach Martin
Registered Denturist
Zach does the majority of our partial denture cases. All consultations and denture adjustment appointments are done by Zach. Markus and Zach split up the complete denture cases equally.
From a young age, Zach had a fascination with dentistry and planned to become a dentist. Zach was doing his undergraduate degree at the University of the Fraser Valley when he began to intern at Fischer Denture Clinic at the invitation of his (now) father-in-law, Markus Fischer. Zach quickly found a love and passion for denturism and subsequently made the decision to switch out of his undergraduate studies at UFV and enrolled in the denturist program at CDI College in the fall of 2020.
Zach continued to work at Fischer Denture Clinic while in school, and gained invaluable experience learning from Markus during those years. Zach graduated his program in January 2023, completed his licensing exams, and received his denturist license August 2023.
Zach currently resides in his hometown of Abbotsford with his wife. Markus intends for Zach to take over Fischer Denture Clinic when he one day retires; in the meantime, we are privileged to have 2 wonderful denturists, so we can better serve the growing community of Mission.

FAQ
What does a denturist do?
Denturists are dental care specialists who provide specialized denture care directly to the public. They examine patients with missing or damaged teeth, and then design, repair, fabricate, and alter dentures, along with providing a number of other denture services and patient education.
