Dental Lab Technician Jobs in Missouri

A Dental Lab Technician plays a vital role in the dental industry by designing and creating dental prosthetics such as dentures, bridges, crowns, and orthodontic appliances under the specifications provided by dentists. They use a variety of materials and high-tech equipment to craft these dental appliances, ensuring they are of high quality, precise shape, and size. Their job also involves repairing or adjusting these appliances as required. This profession requires excellent manual dexterity, technical skills, attention to detail, understanding of dental anatomy, and ability to interpret dental prescriptions.

In terms of qualifications, a high school diploma is mandatory, but those aspiring to be Dental Lab Technicians should ideally hold an Associate's Degree or certification in Dental Laboratory Technology. Certification from the National Board for Certification in Dental Laboratory Technology (NBC) can significantly enhance job prospects. In terms of career progression, one may start as a Dental Assistant or Dental Hygienist, gain practical exposure to the dental field, and then advance to the role of a Dental Lab Technician. Alternatively, experience in a manufacturing setting, especially where detailed, hands-on work is required, can also be a stepping stone towards this career.
