Aptitude and Attitude

dental technicianWhat does it take to be a dental technician? There are several indicators as to whether someone would make a good dental technician through dexterity and personality tests. It takes a special skill and mindset, or attitude to do the artistic and intricate work necessary in a dental lab. There are schools around the country that help train and educate those who meet the criteria. Once a technician finishes their schooling the real work begins of building years of hands-on experience in a dental lab, honing their craft.

Superior Standards

The CDT designation is a great achievement and demonstrates a significant mastery of both the knowledge and the applied skills needed in dental technology. A CDT must undergo a series of evaluations and pass three extensive tests within a four-year period. Once a CDT passes all tests, he or she must complete 12 hours of continuing education every year to keep skills up-to-date and to retain their certification status. TDL CDTContinuing Education is an integral part of our business and every year we send our technicians to training around the country to hone their skills by some of the best dental experts in the world.
