Colorado Prosthodontic Society (CPS)

The Colorado Prosthodontic Society was founded in 1919 and has grown from a small group of practitioners to over 400 general dentist members. It has a rich and distinguished heritage of which its members can be proud. The CPS is the oldest continuously-operating prosthodontic study club in the United States.

Mission Statement:
The mission of this society is to provide continuing education for all members in order to increase their skills and knowledge in the delivery of prosthodontics, restorative and implant dentistry for the good of their patients and the profession. Members are committed to the support of the dental profession by sponsoring programs that benefit both members, and the dental community as a whole.

History:
The Colorado Prosthodontic Society’s goal is providing high quality continuing education for all providers of dental care. The Society’s history is closely tied to the history of organized dentistry in Colorado which began with the formation of the Colorado State Dental Association (CSDA) in 1887. The thirty-three dentists that were serving the Denver area population of approximately 79,000 people decided they could learn from the presentation of papers and clinical demonstrations.
