What is a Dental Prosthetist?

Dental prosthetists work as independent practitioners in the assessment, treatment, management and provision of removable dentures, and flexible removable mouthguards used for sporting activities.

Dental prosthetists are registered nationally with the Dental Board of Australia, the same board that registers dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, dental and oral health therapists and dental specialists. They are subject to the same registration requirements, guidelines and codes of practice as other members of the dental team.

Dental prosthetists have been active members of the oral health workforce for many years, and are engaged in the public and private sectors. They also often work as part of the wider dental team alongside general dentists and dental specialists such as prosthodontists, encompassing referral arrangements for the treatment and manufacture of implant retained overdentures, immediate dentures and splints and anti-snoring devices.
