What is a CDT?
A Clinical Dental Technician is an individual who deals specifically with denture construction. Previously known as Dental technicians or Mechanics, CDT’s are a recent addition to the Dental Team.
CDT’s can undertake every step in the construction of a denture from the first impression through to the final adjustments. For patients who have lost all their existing natural teeth, this service is ideal as you will receive a one-to-one service with the person who will construct and manufacture your denture.
For those patients who have retained some of their natural teeth (partial denture wearers), a signed prescription from your dentist will be required. Alternatively this can be arranged with one of the number of dentists that I work with. This requirement is to justify the suitability of the remaining teeth for a partial denture.
