Dental Technician

Dental technicians construct and repair dentures (false teeth) and other dental appliances including crowns and bridges. Dental technicians work closely with dental prosthetists and dentists in the construction, modification and repair of dentures and other dental appliances.

They are non-registered professionals who work from a written prescription and direct communication with the dental prosthetist, dentist, or specialist dentist.

Services will include:

Restoring natural teeth (crowns, inlays/onlays, veneers)
Replacing teeth (bridges, partial and full dentures, dental implant prosthesis)
Replacing oral soft and hard structures (aesthetic reconstruction)
Moving, retaining, and protecting teeth (orthodontics: mouthguards, splints, trays, stents)
Aligning the jaw position (orthognathics: TMJ, sleep apnoea, etc.).

Note: Dental Technicians work purely in a lab setting with no patient contact or treatment and will not require sterile instruments.
