Thi Skwithe Mobile Denturist
Serving Southern Vancouver Island
Uy’ Skweyul — Warm greetings and welcome to Thi Skwithe Mobile Denturist.
It is my honour to provide on-site denture care to you and your community.
My name is Erika Colebank. I live in Quw’utsun, on the traditional territory of the Hul’q’umi’num People. I was raised in Prince George, on the land of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. My family comes from Slovakia, Sweden, and Norway. I feel deeply thankful to live and work on these lands, and to walk alongside the Elders and families who have cared for them for generations.
Since 2004, I’ve had the privilege of serving Indigenous communities on Vancouver Island with denture care. I am now continuing my path as a student in the Island Medical Program at the University of British Columbia, in Victoria. While I train to become a doctor, I remain dedicated to providing gentle, respectful, and reliable denture care for the Elders and Peoples of this beautiful island.

Dental coverage information is for Status First Nations in British Columbia.
Denture services are provided at your community health centre.
New Dentures
100% covered every 5 years
On-Site Denture Services
Over time, dentures naturally wear down from everyday chewing. That’s why your dental coverage includes a new set of dentures every 5 years—whether they’re full or partial dentures. I use high-quality, natural-looking teeth that are made to last and feel comfortable.
Relines and Rebases
100% covered every 2 years
Our mouths change over time—just like the rest of our bodies. To keep your dentures fitting well and feeling comfortable, your dental coverage allows for a reline or rebase every 2 years. This helps you keep chewing comfortably and smiling with ease.
Adjustments and Repairs
100% covered with no time limit
As your mouth changes—or when you're getting used to new dentures—small adjustments can make a big difference. They help stop sore spots and make your dentures feel more comfortable.
Repairs can fix broken dentures or add new teeth to a partial after extractions.
Mouth Exams
100% covered every year
Full mouth exams check to make sure your gums are healthy. Referally can be made to doctors or specialists if needed.
