Message from the Program Coordinator

Cindy Rotman, BSc., DD

I am excited to welcome you to the Denturism Program at Oxford College. Denturism is one of the most unique and highly skilled health care professions. Denturists are independent professionals, licensed and trained to provide removable denture prosthetic services directly to the public. You will be able to provide your patients with a beautiful smile and the ability to chew their food, which will enhance their quality of life.
This is an exciting time for new students who want a fresh beginning. Our faculty endeavours to train students so that they will gain the knowledge and skills to become a well-rounded denturist.   I encourage you to learn more about our Denturism Program at Oxford College.

Train in a Fully-Equipped Dental Laboratory

The fully-equipped dental laboratory will provide you with the chance to learn in facilities that are similar to what you will encounter when you enter the working world. Training with actual equipment means you will already have bridged any potential knowledge gap when you pursue work as a Denturist. You’ll be familiar with the equipment and procedures, and that confidence will be apparent to your employer, coworkers, and clients.

Get Certified and Become More Employable

Oxford College’s Denturism Program is recognized by the College of Denturists of Ontario (CDO), and the curriculum emphasizes laboratory expertise and treatment planning.

Upon successful completion of the Denturism program, you will be eligible to write the provincial licensing examination with the CDO, which students must enroll for upon graduation.

Successful completion of the program and the provincial licensing exam will permit students to register with the CDO, in order to practice Denturism in Ontario.

Countless Career Opportunities

With the ageing baby boomer population, more people will start needing dentures. What’s more, insurance policies are becoming more comprehensive, so more people will have coverage for dentures. Since Denturism is a specialized career, the field is less saturated than many other ‘generalist’ professions.

This means there will be a steady stream of clients coupled with strong employer demand, which makes for a great career outlook for you.

Many Denturists choose to run their own Denture clinic or practice in the following settings:

  • Private Practice
  • Denture Clinics
  • Dental Clinics
  • Dental Laboratories
  • Community Health Centers
  • Hospitals
  • Educational Institutions
