A family-run denture clinic in Hamilton for over 50 years

Michael Battell, BA (Hons), DD, Owner

I’m Michael Battell, owner of Battell Denture Clinic, proud Hamilton resident, and second-generation Denturist. I am honoured to carry on the tradition my late father, Denturist Ken Battell, began in 1975.

For 50 years, our family practice has been serving the incredible Hamilton community from our office at 409 Concession Street. As a child, I remember watching my father skillfully set teeth for dentures while gently guiding new denture wearers through the process. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the impact he was making on people’s lives—but I knew I wanted to be just like him. In many ways, you could say I was born to be a Denturist.

I bring enthusiasm, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to exceptional, compassionate care. I have proudly served as 2nd Vice President on the Denturist Association of Ontario’s (DAO) Board of Directors and remain an active supporter of the DAO and the profession. Since becoming licensed with the College of Denturists in 2006, I have continued to expand my knowledge by regularly attending seminars and professional development opportunities.

Outside the clinic, my greatest happiness comes from my love, my family, my friends, my dog, theatre, music, concerts, and travel. I love smiling, laughing, sharing kindness, and bringing smiles to those around me.
