Bates is the only college in Washington State to offer a denturist training program. Denturists are licensed specialists who make, fit and repair complete and partial dentures for the public, and must obtain training at an accredited college to qualify to sit for the Washington or Oregon denturist’s license examination. The curriculum includes anatomy, physiology, microbiology, ethics, medical emergencies, office management and clinical and laboratory techniques as they apply to denture practice. Students receive clinical experience in Bates’ denturist clinic.
