Denturist

Bates Technical College is the only college in Washington State to offer a denturist training program. Denturists are licensed specialists who make, fit, and repair complete and partial dentures, along with other non-orthodontic appliances like nightguards and whitening trays. In order to meet the requirements of the denturist profession, candidates must obtain training at an accredited college to qualify to sit for the Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Maine, or Arizona denturist’s license examination. Instruction includes anatomy, physiology, oral pathology microbiology, ethics, medical emergencies, office management, and clinical/laboratory techniques as they apply to denture practices. Students receive clinical experience in the on-campus denturist clinic which provides services to the public. New students may enter the program at the beginning of fall quarter and in some cases spring quarter. Please inquire to the program advisor or program faculty regarding specific enrollment quarters.
