Dental Laboratory Technology

The Dental Laboratory Technology program prepares individuals to fabricate dental prosthetic appliances that replace or repair natural teeth to help patients eat, chew, talk, and smile as well as, or better than, they did before. Dental technicians work collaboratively with dentists by following a written work authorization that details the type of prosthesis needed. Dental technicians do not have direct contact with the patient but instead use stone models made from impressions of the patient's teeth and surrounding soft tissues.
The dental laboratory technician has many employment options including commercial dental laboratories, dental offices that have their own laboratories, dental sales and manufacturing firms. Graduates may also choose to own a laboratory, state laws permitting, or seek a teaching position at a dental technology education program.
Dental Laboratory Technology students completing two years of the curriculum will earn an Associate Degree in Applied Science which will prepare graduates for employment as technicians and graduates are eligible to take the National Board for Certification Recognized Graduate Examination and the Certified Dental Technician exam.
