Become a Dental Lab Tech in 2021? Salary, Jobs, Education

I have a few years of 3d hard surface modeling and sculpting experience and it landed me a job as a removable CAD tech with no dental experience.

i am cad cam technician from india

Where can i study this diploma??

I’ve been looking at jobs for this on indeed and I’m seeing hourly rates of 40-50 an hour, so I don’t understand all the comments stating this field doesn’t pay.

Y que tal en español. Hay cursos bilingües o alguien que necesite un ayudante para el área de san Francisco o la bahía.

As a current technician of 30 years,,,, I can honestly tell anyone that will actually take the time to read this to go become a registered nurse,,,, x ray technician,,,,,anything medical related.
Crown and bridge is over! Dentures are really getting close to becoming straight digital across the board.
I am in the tail end of my career,,,, but under no circumstance consider getting into this field.
I am not being negative. I just really want people to really be aware that the time it takes to learn to set up dentures and learn to contour and build porcelain,,,, you could take that same amount of effort and education and become a nurse and be making a great living.

How to get jobs in other countries ?

Any vacancy here? I am 4years experienced

I have a degree in Graphics Design and Motion Graphics and I just got hired as a Dental Lab CAD/CAM tech. Can someone tell me what this position is about and is it tedious or boring?

Also....it depends where you decide to work. Salaries are most payable inside a dental office.

Become a Clinical Dental Technician after a couple of years working as a Techie. If you can be self employed even better, u can earn as much or as little as u are satisfied with. I'm self employed and get to spend time with my son and wife on a daily basis instead of being stuck in a 8-5pm job.
I've done my time working hard thankless low paying hours for other ppl, never again.
It is a profession ideal only for ppl who love working with their hands. U can get top marks for your assignments and written tests but the real test is when you at the bench or in the Clinic.
There are better paying professions out there though. There's always a balance, passion is 1 thing but the $ must be right.

I recommend getting a job as an apprentice. That’s what I did. I’ve been a tech for 6 years now.

Dentures is probably the next growth wave as he said. Baby Boomers will lose teeth and need Dentures not crowns and bridges.
On the job training is probably your best bet and I highly recommend visiting laboratories and talking off the record to technicians that are working there at the lab producing the work. Print up general contact information business cards and discreetly give to worker bees to talk away from the lab environment.
PS
This is demanding production work and not glamorous at all.
But very fulfilling if you have artistic and mechanical talent.
My life for 25 years.

I am a retired Master Certified Dental Lab Technician/Owner with an AS Degree. All of those with high tech skills were replaced first by Overnight Shipping and Overseas Labs. They made a crown at a 65+% discount and quick returns due to their Labs running in 3 shifts. Next, computer 3D robot milling and 3D printing have taken at least 80% of the Laboratory Technician positions. Computer technicians are now designing crowns on 3D computer programs. I tried to get a part time position designing crowns and I was told that I was a Dinosaur and only computer tech grads were filling those positions.
Pretty Bleak unless you are a Computer Tech Grad.

Sir please make a video on radiation oncologist

Really interested in this field, what's the quickest way to get certified?

This was very informative! Thanks for your help!

Is dental ceramist a good job

Awesome work!!

Dental lab tech's salary mostly change depending on what department you are and I think depending how long you've been working

Im a graduate dental tech,former working Armed forces Hospital in Saudi Arabia fo r 10 years. I need your help please help me how can i work in canada.thank you ser.

Hi bro can technician do job in other country

Great video! Hope that you will offer information over polysomnographic technologists (sleep techs)!

I work maintenance in a dental company that lets you be a trainee for this and they teach you this, of course you need to know Proficient English and have a GED or high school diploma.

Anyhow the only downside is that you get paid by the quantity of work instead of hourly.

But it's a great opportunity to make money and not have much education. But it's a stressful and fast paced invironment. Of course actual experience in the department prior to being employed gives you more money.

I can vouch with the jobs decreasing, atleast for now, due to me seeing more machines making it easier but in return requiring less people

Can you do radiology technician

I wonder how future doctors decide if they wanna pursue this and that specialisation in medicine. I mean those who are in colorectal surgeons and urologists. 😁
