About Us

Our Story
Village Denture Studio is led by Clinical Dental Technician Jimmy Chao, who brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in denture care and prosthetic dentistry. Jimmy began his career in 2010 and spent several years in Newcastle, Australia, specialising in both crown and bridge work as well as removable prosthetics. In 2014, he completed his clinical training and worked as a Clinical Dental Technician in Dunedin, where he built a strong reputation for his technical skill and patient-focused approach.
In 2021, Jimmy relocated to Christchurch and went on to establish Village Denture Studio a purpose-built, modern clinic and lab in Prebbleton, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Committed to making quality denture care more accessible, Jimmy also travels to Invercargill each week to provide treatment for patients at Tooth Works.
At the heart of Village Denture Studio’s services is Jimmy’s dedication to restoring not just smiles, but confidence and quality of life, combining clinical expertise, advanced digital tools, and genuine personal care.
