If you are not planning to practice effective April 1, you have two options:
Non-practising
As a non-practising denturist, you will not be permitted to practise denturism. You may apply to reinstate to a practising status any time. The reinstatement process does not require a new criminal record check. A denturist who holds non-practising status is not required to have active malpractice coverage.
Note: Denturists may hold non-practising registration indefinitely but must meet the Quality Assurance Program (QAP) requirements to transfer back to practising. Denturists will also need to reactivate professional liability insurance coverage. Certificates/Letters of Standing from all jurisdictions a denturist currently hold/previously held registration(s) in may be required.
If you want to reinstate from non-practising status to practising status, please email registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
Unrenewed Registration
If you don’t renew, your registration will expire. If your registration expired and you wish to regain practising status, you must:
If you have questions or require further information, please email registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
The non-practising registration category is for denturists who can hold a registration as a full denturist registrant or limited registrant but do not plan to practise for a period of time. Non-practising denturists are not permitted to practise.
Note: As a denturist, you may hold a non-practising status indefinitely. However, if you want to regain your practising status, you must meet BCCOHP’s quality assurance requirements.
If you are resigning your denturist registration, please send your notice of resignation to registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
The QA program requirements include an annual completion of the following:
In addition, QA program requirements include engaging in a minimum of 675 hours of denturism practice for every three years of active registration.
The QAP cycle for denturists typically follows a one-year cycle and was previously in progress from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. To comply with the BCCOHP bylaws that came into place upon amalgamation of oral health regulatory colleges, QAP cycles must align with the calendar year. To adjust for this, the QAP cycle has been temporarily changed as follows:
As of January 1, 2025, the QAP cycle will revert to its standard one-year period, running from January 1 to December 31, 2025, and will return to the previous 20 CE credit requirement.
Please note, QAP requirements still include engaging in a minimum of 675 hours of denturism practice for every three years of active registration.
Quality Assurance requirements, including Continuing Education Credits, the QA Checklist and the QA Tool, are not required for the upcoming renewal deadline of March 31, 2024.
To update information on your corporation, please complete the corporation section in the online renewal form. There will be a renewal fee per corporation.
Permits are valid from the date of issue until the following March 31 and must be renewed for the next fiscal year starting on April 1.
You will be prompted to renew your HPC permit(s) at the conclusion of your renewal process and the appropriate fee(s) will be included on your invoice.
Registrants must undergo a CRC every five years. Registrants who are required to apply for a new CRC should have received a notice from BCCOHP with instructions on how to complete your criminal record check. If you are not sure when your CRC expires, please email registration@oralhealthbc.ca.
Criminal record checks cannot be completed at a police or RCMP station and must be done online through the Criminal Records Review Program website using the access code provided by BCCOHP.
Note: If your CRC is not current, your annual renewal will not be completed.
