Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Denturists

Denturists are dental professionals who specialize in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of dentures, which are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. They work in collaboration with dentists and other dental professionals to provide patients with a full range of services related to dentures. Denturists typically have specialized training in the fabrication and fitting of dentures, and are qualified to take impressions, make models, and construct dentures. They are also responsible for making any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit and function of the dentures. Denturists also play an important role in educating patients on the proper care and maintenance of their dentures, as well as providing ongoing follow-up care. Denturists are able to provide a more personalized, cost-effective, and efficient service than general dentists who are not trained in dentures.
