What are dentists licensed to offer?
Dentists are trained professionals who help care for the teeth and mouth. Regularly seeing a dentist can help you to maintain a good level of oral health, which may have a direct impact on your overall well-being. They offer services such as cleanings, x-rays, dental exams, cavity drilling, dental fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, dental implants, tooth extractions, preventative dentistry and among many other services. When it comes to denture services, it is not a part of their core business and dentists can assist their patients but they will act as a third party. Dentists will typically hire a denturist to come into their clinic to service these patients on their behalf.
What are denturists licensed to offer?
A Denturist is a denture specialist who directly serves the public by providing denture care. These professionals examine patients who have lost some or all of their teeth and possess the skills to design, construct, repair, and modify removable dentures. Your dentist may offer denture services at their practice, however, they can only provide impressions and measurements of your mouth. When it comes time to make the new dentures, they require the expertise of a denturist in order to design, construct, fit and modify those dentures. Some denturists own their own dentures labs where they have a team of technicians that will make the dentures in-house, which can speed up the delivery times.
According to the College of Denturists of Ontario, denturists can:
- Design a treatment plan for the patient
- Measure patient’s jaws to determine size and shape of dentures required
- Take impressions
- Design and construct full and partial dentures
- Fit and modify new dentures
- Reline and rebase dentures
- Repair and alter dentures
- Fabricate removable prostheses over implants
- Fabricate mouth protectors
What is a Mobile Denturist?
A mobile denturist is a denture professional who performs in- home consultations and assessments for all your denture needs; at your convenience. Mobile denturists will assess your needs & concerns and also take impressions of your teeth & mouth in the comfort of your home. Many people need the services of a mobile denturist because of mobility concerns or simply don't have the time to commit to scheduling an appointment at a clinic or dental practice. Having a mobile denturist can help you save time and money because you are going straight to the source for your denture needs; helping you save money on lab fees, dental consultations, additional visits to the clinic and exams fees.
Choosing what's right for you
There are many differences when choosing a dentist over a mobile denturist and the main reasons are flexibility with your schedule, cost of the dentures, and the amount of time saved from not having to visit the clinic. If you are specifically looking for dentures, then it would make sense to go straight to the source and choose a mobile denturist who is licensed and is an expert in the field with the skills to design, construct, repair, and modify removable dentures.
