A denturist is a dental health professional who designs, manufactures and fits dental prostheses, such as dentures, bridges and implants. Unlike dentists who diagnose and treat oral health problems, denturists specialize only in making and fitting dentures for edentulous or partially edentulous patients. Denturists work closely with dentists to ensure comprehensive care of the dental health of their patients. They also have extensive training in oral anatomy, occlusion, and denture materials to provide high-quality dentures that meet the needs and preferences of their patients. People who need dentures can consult a denturist for personalized advice and quality care.
Dental health professional.
Denturist is the term used in Europe (it comes from the English word “ denturist ), but we more commonly say denturist. It is the only professional who simultaneously designs (with analysis and taking impressions of the patient), manufactures and installs removable prostheses, and carries out their repair. He intervenes when all dental care is completed, but he nevertheless has medical knowledge allowing him to identify and report a risk of pathology to refer the patient to the treating doctor or practitioner.
The profession of Denturist frees up practitioners' time to concentrate on medical and surgical procedures and to take care of more patients.
The Denturist is a professional from the field of dental prostheses, specializing in so-called removable auxiliary prostheses.
The Denturist is trained to work in collaboration with the dental surgeons who provide care and/or checks before it is possible to carry out the attached prostheses.
The role of the Denturist?
ACT on undernutrition among seniors.
Feeding problems should be given special attention.
These risks, often vital for the elderly, concern insufficient energy intake, the aggravation of existing pathologies or the increase in fragility inherent to old age.
The aging of the oral cavity and the pathologies associated with it lead to a reduction in masticatory potential.
The bolus, the first stage of digestion, is formed in the mouth by the chewing of food. However, the port of unsuitable prostheses, influences the type of diet of the elderly, with a impact on its qualitative and quantitative nutritional intake, comfort and well-being.
The Denturist, a complementary link in the chain of dental care, allows him to act more quickly due to his skills to control the possibilities or necessity of repair or renewal of prosthesis, thus freeing up time in dental offices.
When necessary, repairs or renewals of prostheses are taken care of immediately.
Mobility of Denturists, to provide services to people with disabilities.
ACT, with home travel, on the Isolation of people with reduced mobility.
Care at the place of life is a real solution to improve access to oral health for people living with a disability!
The Denturist is committed to helping people with disabilities, providing support from A to Z for the creation of prostheses. It participates in prevention and social integration.
Because nutrition and the smile have a significant impact on general health, social relationships with others, and on quality of life, support for dental appliances for people with disabilities allows to avoid “over-handicaps », it is a pillar of autonomy.
The results !
A new “Denture” requires at least 5 appointments, or 5 round trips…by Ambulance or Taxi from abroad for manufacturing?
- ACT on public spending, reduce health transport costs
Overall, expenses linked to care, medicines and patient transport amounted to 3 euros per French person in 350, according to DRESS data. Note that this indicator does not take into account permanent illnesses, only those linked to temporary treatment.
The consumption of outpatient medical transport amounts to 5,6 billion euros in 2021, or 17% increase, according to DRESS data.
A Denturist going to a nursing home can care for 5 to 6 patients in a day, so he can be a player in the public economy.
The Denturist also takes care of patients referred or not by busy dental practices.
Made-In-France Prostheses.
- ACT on the relocation of French know-how and manufacturing!
The Denturist is above all a highly qualified Dental Technician. His Denturist course provided him with medical/paramedical knowledge and his initial training in the artisanal or digital design of dental prostheses.
In a healthy mouth, it is technically capable of make a dental prosthesis from A to Z, from the impression to the installation, until the repair and complete adaptation, no additional cost, thanks to RAC 0 (Remaining charge 0)
Ecology!
Create and fit carbon-free dental prostheses…thanks to relocation.
- ACT in favor of the environment, with the creation of dental prostheses from A to Z
Although almost all of them swear to use French equipment, more and more dentists are in fact obtaining their supplies from laboratories at the ends of the world, mainly in China, but also in Thailand, Vietnam, Madagascar, Turkey and even in Morocco. Proof that the phenomenon is booming, around fifteen companies established in France today import this type of product “nearly one crown in two arrives from abroad” estimates the UNPPD.
With the Reste a Charge 0… it intensifies, we have to look for the margin elsewhere! Sometimes at the cost of an incomprehensible carbon footprint!
