Replacing your natural teeth is more than trusting
someone with your smile. Your appearance and your
entire image are at stake.
Your Denturist is an expert, a specialist in the design,
construction, fitting and adjustment of complete and
removable partial dentures, as well as overdentures on
implants.
Denturists have the professional designation “DD”
(Diploma in Denturism). The literal meaning of the
word Denturist is “one who makes dentures”.

WHY A DENTURIST?
Denturists study the clinical and technical aspects of
removable dentures and general health
longer than any other oral health-care practitioner. The College
of Denturists of Ontario acknowledges that Denturists are
“Denture Specialists”.
Anyone can consult a Denturist without a referral from
another health-care professional. Denturists provide the most cost
and time effective denture treatment. Most Denturists’ laboratory
work is performed on the premises by the Denturist who sees
you. This ensures quality of care is consistent and personal.
Your Denturist’s expertise and professionalism make him or
her the best possible choice to help you derive the maximum
benefit from the most advanced denture technology.
Most Denturists’ fees are covered by dental plans, Veterans
Affairs, Social Services, NIHB, and other private insurance
companies. If you have a dental plan, ask your Denturist to assist
you in determining what specific services are covered.
If you do not have a regular dentist or need a referral to an
oral surgeon, your Denturist will be happy to refer you to the
appropriate practitioner.
Some Denturists will make special arrangements for home or
hospital visits.
If your dentures are more than five years old, make an
appointment to talk with your Denturist. You can improve your
looks, self-confidence and possibly your health with quality
replacement dentures.
