What Are the Advantages of Visiting Your Clinical Dental Technician?
Clinical dental technicians are denture experts, and they have a special interest in this area, unlike many general dental practitioners. Liaising with the technicians that are making your dentures direct gives the patients a unique opportunity to have truly bespoke, natural looking dentures. Everyone is different, with different things expected from their dental prosthetics. Dealing with the technician directly ensures that you get what you need, and that nothing is lost in translation between clinic and laboratory.
