Dental Technician


A dental laboratory technician is a vital component of your oral health care team. In most instances the laboratory technician is the unseen player in the successful restoration of your mouth. All restorative dentistry hinges on the skill and knowledge of this key team member. If you are having a restoration on an implant or a tooth; if you are receiving crowns (caps), bridges, inlays, onlays, partial or complete dentures (plates), nightguards or orthodontics appliances, you have been helped by this valuable individual who is dedicated to restoring the beauty and function of your mouth.

Combining the artistic skills to fulfill your esthetic needs, the laboratory technician needs knowledge of the myriad number of dental materials used in the manufacture of your dental restorations. This requires special education and training. The utilization of quality materials, dictated by prescription from your dentist, is paramount in insuring a long lasting, esthetic and functional restoration. As with all professions that are responsible for the health of the public, it requires a high level of knowledge, skill and integrity.

Committed to the esthetic restoration of teeth including bridges, crowns/caps, dental implants, dentures, partial dentures, teeth whitening and veneers.
