Well Trained Dental Technicians are Key in Helping Dentists to Grow Their Practice

The National Association of Dental Laboratories (NADL) recently launched a new campaign titled “What’s in Your Mouth?”  The goal of this campaign is to communicate the role and value of a trained and educated dental technician as part of the dental restorative team.

According to the NADL, poorly-made dental restorations – whether made in America or abroad – can lead to a range of health consequences for patients, and in turn, legal consequences for dentists. Growing demand for dental work in America has created a market that features both high-end and economy-priced work. Dental restorations increasingly are being imported from countries like China, India and Vietnam. Depending on the country, those dental laboratories may not be subject to the same scrutiny that domestic laboratories receive from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Domestic labs remain unregulated in more than 40 states. To ensure better outcomes for safe dental restorations, it is extremely important that dentists and patients have a full understanding of where their dental restorations are coming from and what materials are used in the process.

Dental professionals strive to deliver a high standard of care.  This level can be achieved and even enhanced by working with a formally educated and well trained and/or certified dental technician.  Dental technicians bring to the table invaluable experience and subject matter expertise in the areas of dental materials, the latest technology, shade verification, and implant dentistry.  This is true partnership and key to helping dentist grow their practice.
