DENTAL TECHNICIAN

A Diploma in Dental Technology is a program that trains individuals in the fabrication and repair of dental prostheses such as dentures, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances. Students in this program learn various techniques for working with dental materials, including ceramics, metals, and plastics. They also gain knowledge of dental anatomy, occlusion, and patient communication. Graduates of dental technician certificate programs typically work in dental laboratories, where they collaborate with dentists to create custom-made dental appliances to restore oral function and improve patients' smiles.
