About denturists

Denturists are health care professionals who provide denture care either directly to the public or as part of a dental health team that may include dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians and oral surgeons. Denturists perform a variety of intra-oral procedures and other activities related to the design, construction, repair and alteration of dentures.Reference 1

Denturists typically work in independent clinics which have in-house laboratories where dentures or other dental prostheses are fabricated. They may also practise in a variety of settings including community health centres, hospitals, dental offices and educational institutions.
