Did you know that a typical visit to a dentist for a new denture would usually involve the dentist sending your denture mould off to be made at a dental laboratory, with no clinical interaction between the dentist and technician, and no consultation between the technician and the patient?
One of the problems with this is communication enabling you to get exactly what you want from your new dentures. Perhaps you want the natural aged look? Perhaps you want a Hollywood white smile?
There is a huge selection of denture teeth available to choose from from round teeth, square teeth, triangular teeth old, young and anything in between… Unless you are given the full opportunity to discuss exactly what it is that you want it’s difficult to actually communicate this to the technician.
The logical next step for quality dentures
In years gone past a clinical consultation with the dental technician, the person actually making your new dentures, was not legal in the UK. But dental technicians can now undergo additional training to become a clinical dental technician (CDT) allowing them to register with the General Dental Council (the body which regulates the dental profession in the UK).
This change in the regulation, training and law has allowed direct contact between the person making your denture and you, thereby allowing you to express your concerns, talk in detail about your dentures and enjoy the best quality denture that looks and feels great.
