Program Description
The Dental Technology program will prepare you to work in the field of dental technology. If you want to work in the dental industry but don’t necessarily want to engage directly with client care, consider this profession. We recommend that you have an eye for detail, enjoy working with your hands and have good hand-eye coordination.We’ll teach you to use a variety of tools to create oral devices that are prescribed by regulated dental practitioners (often a dentist). You’ll learn how to use specialized hand tools, moulds and the latest technology to make oral devices that are as unique as the individuals you will be creating them for. You’ll practise your skills in our on-site high-tech dental labs as we teach you to create:- full dentures
- partial dentures
- crowns
- bridges
- implant-regulated restorations
- orthodontic appliances
- other speciality items
- Graduates of this program are eligible to apply to take the Canadian Alliance of Dental Technology Regulators (CADTR), Dental Technology Entry to Practice Assessment (DTETPA) and apply to the College of Dental Technologists of Ontario to obtain a Certificate of Registration. (Note: Additional fees apply.) Without a certificate, graduates may work as a lab technician under the supervision of a Registered Dental Technologist. See cdto.ca for further information about registration with the College of Dental Technologists of Ontario.
Your Field Education Options
As this is a very hands-on profession, in-class practical laboratory assignments play an important role in helping to prepare students for the real-world work ahead.In preparation for the external field component in year three, students will learn and practise skills in all areas of the dental laboratory, from introductory skills in model work to advanced digital dentistry procedures.During semester 6, students will spend two days a week in class and three days per week off-site (approximately 21 hours per week) at an external professional laboratory. This experience provides students with a professional networking opportunity and the chance to practice their consolidated skills in a real-world setting.PLEASE NOTE: Students are required to complete the pre-placement health form and organize their own external lab experience, and must have program approval prior to starting.Interested in this program but need more competitive marks?
