Welcome to the Public Interest domain of our Website!

 

This page has been specially designed to stimulate interest from denture wearers, consumers and the public at large into the field of denture delivery and to provide relevant information to all stakeholders concerned. In the first file, Dental Care Providers, a compact overview is given of all the different Oral Health Professionals to explain their training, responsibility fields and professional expertise. Intertwined into all this is the matter of denture delivery as a most basic dental service and the various options of professional expansion of different categories to best serve the public in this rehabilitation service. The next file about Denturist services explains the various services Denturists provides in different parts of the world and how this service would impact on South African consumers. 

In the file about Consumer Perspective the focus is moved to the perspective as experienced by denture wearers themselves, and the restricted services available to them in South Africa. Visitors may view a slideshow on Making Dentures that illustrates the difference between the conventional clumsy procedure and the proposed efficient specialization. FAQ provides some answers to consistent questions that consumers have about their dentures.
