Realize Your Dream
The dental technology program offers a challenging career for those individuals interested in applying artistic and creative talents in a health care laboratory situation.
Training for Excellence
Dental laboratory technology is the art of fabricating corrective devices and replacements for natural teeth and tissues. The dental laboratory technician is a craftsperson who is an essential member of the dental health care team. The technician, working to the prescription of a qualified practitioner, is responsible for the construction of dental appliances and devices including crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances.
Training for the Future
Our school is aiming to bring up the dental technicians who could respond to the remarkable development of the latest dental technology.
