The Dental Technology Bachelors Degree at Trinity College Dublin is designed for aspiring professionals interested in the intersection of art, science, and healthcare, focusing on the precise planning, design, and fabrication of intra-oral appliances. You will gain expertise across four key areas: fixed prosthodontics, complete denture technology, removable denture technology, and orthodontic technology. This programme is ideal for students with an interest in oral health, strong manual dexterity, and a creative, scientific mindset, preparing you to become an integral part of the dental team.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning experience will be highly hands-on, primarily based in the state-of-the-art facilities of the Dublin Dental University Hospital. You will work alongside Dental Science students, gaining practical experience in the teaching laboratory and later in a production laboratory environment, offering direct patient and clinician service. In your final year, you will complete a dissertation and a practical case portfolio, with opportunities for external laboratory placements or an Erasmus exchange. You will graduate with a competitive advantage, ready for roles in dental laboratories or further study, such as the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology.
