Dentures in Perth

A Dental Prosthetist is a qualified dental technician

Dental prosthetists originally train as dental technicians and then undergo further training and specialisation. A Dental Prosthetist is qualified to provide diagnostic, preventive and fabrication services for partial and complete dentures, as well as mouth guards.

Dental Prosthetists have Technical and Clinical skills

Dental prosthetists are trained in a wide range of technical and clinical skills pertaining to protecting or replacing tooth function and are highly knowledgeable about the appropriate methods of constructing oral appliances from a variety of materials.

Dental Prosthetists must be Registered by the AHPRA

All qualified dental prosthetists in Australia are required to be registered by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency before setting up practice. You can only obtain registration to practice as a dental prosthetist on submission of proof that you have successfully completed an accredited post-graduate course in Dental Prosthetics, for which you will first need to have completed a course in Dental Technology. Once granted, registration needs to be renewed every year.

AHPRA registration is mandatory

Working as a Dental Prosthetist without obtaining registration from the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency is an offence. An unregistered dental prosthetist can be convicted and/or fined for illegal practice and their licence can be revoked.
