Where do Dental Lab Technicians work…?
Dental lab technicians work in the dental laboratories. They assist the doctors/dentists with their job and have a limited contact with the patients. Their duties include the handling of dental lab equipments like dental scanners, dental milling machines, and working with care while using them. They even clean the instruments and look at their maintenance.
Dental technicians generally work in clean, well-lighted, and well-ventilated laboratories. They have limited contact with patients or the public. Technicians on occasion wear goggles to protect their eyes, gloves to handle hot objects, and vacuum units or mask to avoid inhaling dust. They spend a great deal of time sitting at their own work bench, which can be equipped with bunsen burners, carvers, brushes, grinding and polishing equipment, and hand-held instruments. Some dental technicians have computer-aided equipment to assist them with creating artificial teeth.
