Dental Lab Technician Education

Dental lab technicians are artists whose creations make people smile. Dental lab technicians, also called dental technicians, use plaster, wax, metal, and porcelain to create crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental prosthetics. If you are an artist with a strong practical side, dental lab technician education can help you start a fulfilling career.

Dental Lab Technician Education

You can begin your dental lab technician education at a community or junior college, vocational-technical school, or a 4-year college institution. As of 2006, there were 20 programs in dental laboratory technology accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and the American Dental Association. Your training should include both classroom studies and hands-on laboratory work. Your initial lab work will involve pouring plaster into impressions; eventually you will learn to make porcelain crowns and bridges. Your classes should include:

  • Dental materials science
  • Oral anatomy
  • Fabrication procedures
  • Ethics
If eventually you would like to open your own dental technology lab, you should include courses in business and bookkeeping.

Dental Lab Technician Job Prospects

According to the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job opportunities for dental lab technicians are favorable, largely because so few people complete dental lab technician education programs. The small numbers entering the field partly reflect a limited public awareness of the job. To increase your opportunities and potentially your pay, consider becoming certified through the National Association of Dental Laboratories' National Board for Certification. Other than in 3 states, certification is voluntary.
