Registered Dental Technician
Hi, I’m Diana Almendarez, a proud Registered Dental Technician (RDT) with over 9 years of experience in crafting high-quality dentures and creating smiles that last. After graduating with honors from CDI College’s Dental Technology Program in 2016, I achieved my RDT certification in 2018 under the BC College of Oral Health Professionals.
My journey in the dental field has been both rewarding and diverse. I've worked closely with implant specialists, gained extensive expertise in digital denture fabrication, and pursued specialized training, such as the Lower Denture Suction Course in 2017. I’m also honored to have contributed to the profession as an assessment marker for RDT performance exams (CADTR).
In 2025, I joined the team, where I bring my passion for delivering personalized care and precision to every patient. I genuinely love working in the dental field and take pride in helping people rediscover the joy of a confident smile.
