When getting dentures or dental implants, a good deal of the process takes place out of the dentist’s office at a dental lab. The lab is where the prosthetic devices are fabricated. Trained technicians follow the dentist’s instructions and specifications via the patient's prescription.
The technician is highly skilled in color matching; following materials, type and design specifications; identifying defects on the impression received from the dentist; and controlling the handling of the appliance during delivery to reduce the possibility of infection.
Dental lab technicians must pass a state board examination as well as participate in continuing education to stay abreast of the newest in materials and procedures. Diligent dental groups will select dental labs based on the expertise of their lab technicians, working hand-in-hand with their lab partners to stay abreast of quickly evolving technical information about design or material makeup of the prosthetic appliance prescribed.
