A specialist that specializes in dentures is known as a denturist or a denture specialist. While many stick to the blanketed term “dentist”, many dentists will continue on in their education and expertise in specialty areas of oral healthcare like dental surgeons, orthodontists, and denturists.   Denturists are specific professional dental healthcare specialists that focus on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of their patients' missing or surgically removed teeth. Unlike other specialists that work in the dental field, denturists stick to what are known as "mechanical solutions" to dental issues.   The bonus to being a denturist over other dental specialists is that you do not need a referral to see a denturist. They will be with you from the beginning to the end of your treatment with dentures, so you know you are in great hands.
