How it Started
One of the founding fathers in the legalization of Denturism in the state of Oregon in the late seventies, Ken Holden, played a major role in changing the law as to who can treat denture patients. Having to fight to get his license, Ken finally was allowed to practice as a denturist and opened Alpha Dental in 1981 in Corvallis and Eugene. In the late 90’s Ken began talking with his son-in-law Todd Young, who was the Director of Development for Elmer’s Restaurants at the time, about exploring the field of Denturism.
New Generation
After taking the time to investigate the business and see what Ken did on a daily basis as a Denturist, Todd knew that he had found his calling. He loved the fact that he could impact people’s lives on a daily basis by providing them with a new smile. While getting his denturist license at George Brown, Todd worked under Ken’s guidance for two years before taking over the practice in 2000. The business added locations in Roseburg and Salem, and most recently a location on the coast in Florence.
