Why some dentists no longer perform Dentures

At Denture Rescue our licensed dentist has over 45 years of experience with Dentures and more!

However, while dentists are trained to provide a wide range of dental treatments and services, making dentures requires specialized knowledge and skills. Many dentists no longer perform dentures in their offices.

Therefore, it’s generally recommended that dentists who are not trained or experienced in denture fabrication should avoid making dentures.

Here are a few reasons why:

1. Complex process: Making dentures involves a complex process that requires precise measurements, detailed impressions, and careful consideration of various factors such as the patient’s oral anatomy, bite, and esthetic preferences. Dentists who are not trained in this process may not be able to achieve the same level of quality and precision as experienced denture specialists.
2. Risk of complications: Poorly fitting dentures can cause a range of complications such as sore spots, irritation, difficulty eating and speaking, and even damage to the underlying bone and tissues. Dentists who lack experience in denture fabrication may not be able to diagnose and address these issues effectively.
3. Time and resources: Making dentures requires a significant amount of time, resources, and specialized equipment. Dentists who do not specialize in denture fabrication may not have the necessary resources to produce high-quality dentures in a timely and cost-effective manner.
4. Legal and ethical concerns: Dentists have a legal and ethical obligation to provide safe and effective treatments that meet the standards of care in their field. Dentists who are not trained or experienced in denture fabrication may be at risk of providing substandard care, which can lead to legal and ethical complications.

In summary, while dentists are capable of providing many dental services, it’s generally recommended that they avoid making dentures unless they have received specialized training and have sufficient experience in denture fabrication. Patients who require dentures should seek out experienced denture specialists who can provide high-quality, safe, and effective treatment.
