To Give Dentists the Tools They Need to Thrive at Every Stage of Their Career as They Shape the Future of Dentistry
Our
History
The Colorado Prosthodontic Society (CPS) is the longest running dental society in Colorado. We have been an integral of Colorado’s dental history and advancing dental education since 1887. Originally part of the Colorado State Dental Association, our society grew from a merger of two Denver dental groups into the Denver Dental Association in 1897. This era saw significant educational strides under the leadership of G.V. Black at Northwestern University, fostering a tradition of knowledge enhancement that led to the inception of the Mid-Winter Clinic in 1905, now known as the Rocky Mountain Dental Convention.
Post-World War I, the revived local study clubs culminated in the formation of what is now the Colorado Prosthodontic Society in 1919. Starting with groundbreaking lectures on dentures by Dr. Rupert E. Hall, the society set benchmarks in prosthetic dentistry. Today, it continues to serve as a critical educational resource, offering seminars on a wide range of topics from materials to practice management, committed to unbiased, comprehensive education. Its Board of Directors upholds this legacy, ensuring the provision of current, relevant content for dentists in all specialties.
