College Diploma - Dental Technology

This nationally recognized program provides a wide range of training and will give students the skills necessary to make full or partial dentures, repair crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. Students will learn the art and science of creating corrective devices for natural teeth and tissues.

A dental technologist is a master of their craft and an essential member of the dental-health team. To be successful, students will need to display meticulous attention to detail and an equal combination of technical skills and artistry.

Hands-on, industry-relevant training

Throughout the program, students will recreate the appearance of natural teeth in fixed restorations such as crowns and implant restorations using porcelain, metal alloys and ceramic materials. For corrective devices like orthodontic appliances, students will learn the physical and biological forces of handling waxes, wires and acrylic materials.

Students will have an individual workstation in the dental lab, complete with the latest industry-standard equipment, like:

• press ceramic furnace • digital laboratory scanner • acrylic injection system • pressure thermal-forming machine
