Dental Laboratory Technician

Dental laboratory technicians design and create crowns, bridges, dentures, and other prosthetics from impressions taken of a patient's mouth. Using molds supplied by dentists, these technicians shape wax teeth that will be used as a model to cast a metal framework for the prosthetic device.

The majority of dental laboratory technicians learn their craft on the job. Some courses may be available at vocational schools and community colleges. The necessary qualifications are manual dexterity, good vision, and the ability to recognize fine differences in color and shape.

Most dental laboratory technicians never meet the patient who will use their creations. But their skill at doing their jobs directly affects not only the physical and dental health of another person, but also that person's confidence and self-esteem. And that makes this a special job indeed.
