| I want to thank
you for taking the time to explore denturism, a profession with a
long international history and one that has been serving Oregonians
since 1978. Our roots can be traced to the dental laboratory, where
many of us worked as lab technicians, designing and manufacturing
dentures and partials for dentists. As denturists, we are trained
not only to make dentures, but to work directly with patients in order
to ensure that the full or partial dentures we make meet patient needs
and expectations. Our goal is to provide quality products and prompt service at an economical price. Please go to the About Denturism page to learn more about our profession. On the links page you will be directed to the web sites of other denturist-related organizations across the United States and Canada. Throughout this web site you will find information of value to the current or future denture wearer. On the Consumer Info page you can learn about how dentures are made and how to correctly care for a denture to ensure that it serves you long and well. You can also get answers to some of the most common questions that people ask about dentures. Of particular interest to the person who may be seeing a denturist for the first time is the Finding a Denturist page, which is dedicated to helping you find the nearest qualified denturist. The Patient Testimonials page will give you an idea of how patients feel about their denturist experiences. If you are considering denturism as a profession for yourself please visit the Becoming a Denturist page. Here you will find information on licensure requirements and a list of Oregon schools that offer accredited denture technology courses and programs. This page can also link you to the Oregon Health Licensing Agency, the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating our profession in Oregon This web site is sponsored by the Oregon State Denturist Association, the organization that works to ensure that member denturists are well trained and that the profession remains a vital health care option for consumers.
