Dental Technician

A dental technician is a professional who makes dental appliances such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and braces. They work in dental laboratories, using a mix of handcraft and technology to create custom devices that help people eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental technicians follow detailed instructions from dentists to ensure that each appliance fits perfectly and looks natural. The job involves working with materials like metal, ceramics, and plastics, and often using specialised equipment such as 3D printers and computer-aided design (CAD) software. It is a great career if you enjoy practical work, have good attention to detail, and want to help improve people's health and wellbeing.
