Amy Varshock, LD, DPD
Amy Varshock, LD, DPD, is a licensed denturist in the states of Washington and Arizona. She received her formal education in New York and worked as an organ procurement technician for the Albany Lions Eye Bank and the Organ Donor’s Network before moving to Washington State to pursue a denturist career. After receiving her degree from Bates College in denturism, she moved to Arizona where she became the first female denturist to be licensed in the state. She loved her work there, but wanted to have her own practice; so she soon found herself moving to Washington State to open an office in Mount Vernon. Amy creates all dentures by hand, on-site, and personalizes each one to the individual who is to receive the denture. She has built the foundation of her practice around educating her patients as much as possible about their choices and the products they receive as well as the benefits of proper denture care and upkeep. Starting in 2014, Amy opened a second office in Silverdale, where she continues to work single-handedly on dentures for patients in the Kitsap area. Amy strives to incorporate the best parts of modern technology with educational information so that her patients have both the resources and foundation for a successful time adapting to dentures.
