The role of the Clinical Dental Technician (CDT) sits somewhere between that of a dentist who would usually take the patient’s impressions and that of a dental technician who would receive the impressions from a dentist and then make the dentures (usually for patients they have never actually seen themselves). The CDT does both roles, takes the impression, and makes/fits the dentures. To construct aesthetically pleasing dentures with comfort and function is one of the hardest tasks in dentistry. We are not only replacing lost teeth but also compensating for bone loss and very often sunken facial profiles, which can age patients up to 10 years prematurely. Careful, calculated consideration of each individual’s anatomy is essential for outstanding results to be gained in this delicate area. It is, however, illegal for regular dental technicians to offer this service and anybody who has dealt with a dental technician direct for the provision of dentures, should seek an oral examination as soon as possible from a suitably qualified and registered dental care professional as your health could be at risk.
