The Dental Technology Undergraduate Diploma at George Brown College equips you with the specialized skills to design and fabricate essential oral prosthetics. In a field where precision and artistry meet, you will learn to create custom solutions like dentures, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances, prescribed by dental practitioners. This program is ideal if you possess a keen eye for detail, enjoy intricate manual work, and have excellent hand-eye coordination, preparing you for a vital role within the dental industry without direct patient interaction. You will master the use of both traditional tools and cutting-edge technology, including CAD/CAM systems, to produce unique devices tailored to individual patient needs.
You will study this program full-time on campus over three years, immersing yourself in practical laboratory work that mirrors real-world dental technology processes. The curriculum progresses from foundational skills in model work to advanced digital dentistry techniques. In your final year, you will undertake a significant field placement, dedicating three days a week to an external professional laboratory. This hands-on experience will allow you to apply your consolidated skills, network with industry professionals, and prepare for your career. Upon graduation, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the College of Dental Technologists of Ontario, opening pathways to becoming a Registered Dental Technologist (RDT).
