Dental Laboratory

A dental laboratory is a full-service laboratory, dedicated to providing the highest quality products. A dental laboratory's top priority is their patients' oral health. Currently, there are about 60.000 active dental laboratory technicians in the U.S.A. A competent dental laboratory technician possesses skills in using small hand instruments and the attention to minute detail.

A dental laboratory is usually very small averaging between three and five technicians. Most dental laboratory technicians design, fabricate and repair crowns, braces and dentures on the written order of their client, the dentist.

Dental laboratory technicians must have a high school diploma before starting dental laboratory training and beginning their career.
