Bringing it home one bite at a time
Sun, 03/22/2015
What time do you go to the dentist? ..Tooth hurty and that’s no joke. Now you don’t have to go out in some instances as you have an option.
Paul Robbins, D.P.D., is a Denturist. Webster’s says: “a dental technician who makes, fits, and repairs dentures directly for the public”.
Since 1999, this state has licensed denturists and is one of only six states nationally to allow the practice.
Originally from Idaho, where his dad was a physician, Paul eventually settled in Salt Lake City to ply his trade. Now he practices here. He is board certified with extensive training.
What makes that unique and why don’t you just see your favorite dentist? Paul makes house calls. He comes to your home at your request. A novel concept for busy people or those who don’t have transportation.
With a great smile of his own Paul visits you on your appointment. Briefs you on your dental health and explains how dentures will help you feel and look better. It’s less expensive, is covered by most insurance and you never have to leave home. It takes three or four visits to take and fit your new dentures and all of the visits are covered.
Dentures, flippers or partials; it’s all made in a lab regardless of whether you use a dentist or a denturist. Paul can have your new dentures fitted and ready to go much faster than most dental offices.
Years ago porcelain was the desired material but, as Paul explained “it was beautiful but very brittle and would crack or chip too easily.”
Today all of the dental appliances and crowns use blended materials, less prone to chipping while keeping their brightness.
If being home is a necessity, either taking care of kids or having no transportation and you need a new smile, Paul Robbins can be at your door with a phone call.
Now that is something to chew on. Paul can be reached at 206-579-6858.
