Illegal Dentures – What Should I Look Out For?
When it comes to dentures, it’s important to make sure you go to a professional dentist. There are a lot of illegal denture makers out there who don’t have the proper training or experience. This can lead to a lot of problems down the road, including infection, pain, and misalignment. Illegal dentures also don’t usually come with a warranty, so if something goes wrong, you’re on your own.
To avoid all of this, just make sure to visit a professional dentist for all your denture needs. Not only will you get a high-quality product, but you’ll also be able to ask any questions you have and get professional advice. It’s worth it to invest in your smile!
Is it Necessary to see a Dentist or can I see a Clinical Dental Technician (or both)?
A Clinical Dental technician can directly treat, create and fit a complete set of dentures for patients who have experienced total tooth loss. If you are looking for partial dentures, as you have some of your natural teeth remaining or you have had a dental implant, you must first be seen or referred by your dentist before treatment can begin. This can be arranged for you.
Patients presenting with natural teeth will be advised to visit a dentist for an oral examination/check-up where an appropriate treatment plan can then be formulated in conjunction with the Clinical Dental Technician.
Can You See a normal Dental Technician for New Dentures?
The answer is, no. Dental technicians can only make dentures via a dentist. This means they cannot make dentures for you directly they can only legally provide them to a dentist or Clinical Dental technician. The dentist or clinical Dental technician takes the impressions and fits the dentures.
- Dental technicians
Dental technicians make the dentures in the laboratory on the prescription and impression from a dentist or a Clinical Dental Technician and return to them to fit in the patient’s mouth. It is illegal for dental technicians to make your dentures direct.
- Dentists
Provide the prescription and impressions for the dental technicians to manufacture the dentures in the laboratory and fit the dentures for the patient.
- Clinical Dental Technicians
Can provide a prescription for complete dentures and partial dentures with a prescription from a dentist. They can take impressions, manufacture the denture and fit dentures.
