This bill amends the Wyoming Dental Practice Act to formally include denturists within the scope of dental professions recognized by state law. It introduces definitions for "denturist" and "denturitry," clarifying the roles of denturists in providing removable oral prostheses under the supervision of licensed dentists. The legislation also modifies the definition of "proprietor" to include those who employ denturists and expands the duties that dental hygienists and denturists may perform. Additionally, it establishes that denturists must complete their work based on written prescriptions from dentists and outlines the qualifications required for practice, such as graduation from an accredited program and passing relevant examinations.

Furthermore, the bill creates a volunteer certificate for dentists, dental hygienists, and denturists, enabling them to offer services at nonprofit health care facilities to low-income, uninsured individuals without payment. It details the requirements for obtaining and renewing this certificate, including proof of education and good standing. The legislation allocates $18,000 for administrative costs associated with its implementation and allows for the appointment of denturists to the board of dental examiners, ensuring their representation in the regulatory framework. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain provisions becoming effective immediately upon passage.
