Asking for a friend...a friend of mine is looking to specialise in being a denturist / clinical dental technician. There are courses offered in the UK which allow for qualified dental technicians to study this, which is great. However, they are looking to understand the thoughts of this role in the community to help make a decision if it's worth going for. Does anyone know much about it? Do any dentists rate it or have / would consider the role in their practice? From what I've heard it does sound like a good additional career path and supportive of dentists (i.e. allowing dentists to have their patients treated by someone with enhanced knowledge of dentures and means the dentist can focus on bringing other patients into the practice whilst the denturist/CDT handles their denture patients?) but it does sound quite new so wondering what others think? I've also not seen the role advertised much in terms of recruitment?
Thank you!
