What is a dental prosthetist?
A dental prosthetist has completed a qualification in dental prosthetics and is registered with the Dental Board of Australia through Ahpra. They assess patients and make, fit and maintain removable dentures.
What a dental prosthetist does
- Impressions, making and fitting of full and partial dentures
- Denture relines, adjustments and repairs
- Sports mouthguards
How they differ from similar roles
Dentists provide full check-ups and treatment and can make dentures too. Dental technicians make dentures in a lab but don't see patients. Dental prosthetists see you directly and fit your dentures themselves.
When to see a dental prosthetist
- Missing several or all of your teeth and wanting dentures
- Dentures that are loose, rubbing, cracked or broken
- Old dentures you'd like replaced
How Extras usually pays
Typical price $220–$320; Extras typically pays $120–$250 (per check-up & clean).
（Estimate only — your insurer has the final say）
Dentures are usually paid under major dental, and some insurers have a separate dentures limit. You usually need mid or top Extras, often with a 12-month waiting period. Repairs and relines may be claimed as separate items; how much each insurer pays varies.
Qualifications and registration
Dental prosthetists must be registered with the Dental Board of Australia through Ahpra as a dental prosthetist — you can check on the Ahpra website. To claim, they also need a provider number with your insurer.
Good to know
- Before new dentures, ask for a quote with item numbers and check with your insurer what it will pay and whether your waiting period has passed.
- New dentures usually need a few adjustment visits — ask whether these are included in the quote.
