Community Initiatives
Low Cost Denture Program
W
isconsin residents who have no remaining teeth are eligible to become
participants in the annual denture program offered by Marquette University’s
School of Dentistry. Second-year dental students work in teams to
fabricate and custom fit a complete denture set for each patient. The
program is open to all edentulous (toothless) patients regardless of their
economic status for the low cost of $200.
The goals of the program are to: provide hands-on clinical training to dental students early in their dental education, provide dental students the opportunity to develop their communication skills while working with older patients, and provide full dentures (prosthetics) to Wisconsin residents at very little cost.
Community Partners:
- Marquette University School of Dentistry (Lead Organization)
- Michael Waliszewski, Clinical Assistant Professor
- Wisconsin Geriatric Education Center
- Julie Murphy, Deputy Director
- Milwaukee County Department on Aging
- Alice Kowalski, Community Outreach
