Dental Assisting courses funded by the
Department of Training and Workforce Development

The four main skill areas of Dental Technology are:
•  Denture construction
•  Cast partial denture fabrication
•  Orthodontics
•  Crown and bridge

The programme contains a substantial practical element which is driven by our highly qualified and experienced Dental Technicians to take you through the practical elements in our own established Laboratories.
In the Dental Laboratory Field, this is where practically, materials and techniques are applied to assist the Dental Profession to provide patients / clients with accurate artificial dental appliances. The Dental Laboratory Technician is a vital, functional member of a Health Care Team. Without highly skilled Dental Technicians, the Dental Profession (Dentists) would not provide a service to the public.
