Denturists work with partial and complete dentures.
Denturists are those that work with jaw impressions, dentures and aligning the teeth. Denturists typically work in Canada and some parts of the United States. In the United States, dental technicians are another name for denturists. To work as a denturist, students must attend an accredited denturist school and have a license. Licenses are usually provided by the state or province in which the student lives.
