Bachelor of Dental Technology

This degree is ideal for students who like to work behind the scenes creating and manufacturing dentures, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. It suits students who enjoy working with their hands, with an attention to detail, who prefer not to work directly with a patient. This is the only internationally benchmarked dental technology degree in Australia. In the first year, you’ll learn foundational skills in health science, be introduced to prosthetics and develop skills in the dental laboratory. Second year applies knowledge of dental materials to dental laboratory practice. Laboratory experience is continued through all years with an emphasis on work-integrated learning in your third year. You will learn and work alongside dentistry students in our state-of-the-art dental clinics and pre-clinical laboratories. You will also expand your hands-on experience working with registered and experienced dental technicians in our commercial laboratory and through professional practice placements. You'll work with industry-standard equipment including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) in both subtractive (milling) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing CAD/CAM facilities. An exciting learning experience awaits with this first internationally-benchmarked dental technology degree in Australia.
