Find a denturist in Ontario.
The College of Denturists of Ontario publishes a Find a Denturist register. This page links to it and works out the College’s March 31 renewal date. It does not search the register for you.
Short answer: Use the College’s Find a Denturist register for the record. Certificate of Registration renewal is due March 31 each year, including at least the first installment of the fee.
What the College publishes
The College describes the page as the public register of denturists registered with the College, with a Name of Denturist search field. The page read for this guide does not list other fields, so this guide does not either.
The College’s fees and renewal dates page states:
- The deadline for renewing a Certificate of Registration, including payment of at least the first installment of the renewal fee, is March 31.
- Online renewal begins February 15 each year.
- The second installment is due September 1.
- A $150.00 late penalty fee is applied to renewals (or payments) received after the deadline.
The page does not define the registration year. Confirm amounts and dates on the College’s page.

Why you’d check a denturist
People check the register when choosing a clinic, when a denture provider is new to them, or when a name on a quote or treatment record needs confirming. The College of Denturists is the regulator that publishes the register.
Denturist or dentist?
These are separate professions with separate regulators. A dentist is on the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario register; a denturist is on the College of Denturists’ register. If a name does not appear in one, the other may be the right place to look.
Before you search
- Use the name exactly as on the clinic website or paperwork.
- The register page offers a name search, so a partial name may help if the full spelling is uncertain.
- If nothing comes back, try variants and contact the College before drawing conclusions.
Installments and the deadline
The College lets members pay in installments, but the March 31 deadline requires at least the first installment. Whether a member has met the requirement is a status question for the register, not this page.
What a register result can and cannot tell you
A register entry reflects what the regulator holds on the date you look. It does not rate quality of work, and it is not a recommendation. If something looks wrong or out of date, contact the regulator.

Guide only — not a verification tool
This page does not check anyone’s registration, does not copy or proxy the register, and nothing you might type here is transmitted anywhere. The renewal calculator is date arithmetic on the dates the regulator published; it cannot tell you whether anyone has renewed. This page is not affiliated with or endorsed by College of Denturists of Ontario (CDO). Use the official register linked above, and contact the regulator if you have a concern. Information was read from the regulator’s public pages in October 2026 and may change.
