Any concerns can be conveyed and resolved before the final process to ensure that each patient is completely satisfied with their final appliance. Clinical Dental Technicians can also help with existing removable appliances. They can carry out denture repairs, relines and make adjustments.

A Clinical Dental Technician is registered with the General Dental Council and is therefore required to comply with their strict, ethical guidance, including awareness of all regulations pertaining to the practice of dentistry.
