A denturist is an independent, licensed oral healthcare professional who is specifically trained and qualified to design, construct, fit, and adjust removable dentures (both full and partial) directly to patients, without the need for a referral from a dentist.

Key elements of a denturist’s role:

• Gerenral Assessment of oral and dental conditions related to missing teeth.

• Impression taking or Intraoral scan

• Design and fabrication of complete and partial dentures such as all removable dental devices

• Fitting and adjustments to ensure comfort, function, and aesthetics.

• Follow-up care and maintenance of prosthetic devices.

• Referral to other health professionals when needed (e.g., for oral pathology or surgical issues).
