For the 12th installment of “Ask The Denturist”, we ask a basic but common question about visiting a denture professional.

Q. Why should I see a Denturist?

A. When you go to a doctor to have your hip replaced, usually you go to a doctor who specializes in hips. When you are evaluating whether to get dentures you should see a specialist who has gone to school and trained to specifically to do oral prosthetics. In today’s world to become a Denturist you need to have a diploma from a school of Denturism, performed over 1000 hours of clinical work and pass the written and oral exam for Denturism. Denturists work directly with their patients to provide the best possible care, and at Natural Dentures & Implant Center we help you coordinate your treatment (such as dental implants or natural tooth care) with our in-house dentist when necessary.
