Dental Mechanics are professionals who work behind the scenes supporting the dental doctors to give the patients perfect dental prosthesis such as dentures, crowns, bridges, eye prosthesis, ear prosthesis, nose prosthesis and other dental appliances.
During the two year course, the students acquire laboratory skills through hands on experience. They acquire knowledge and skills needed to fabricate dental restorations including metal, ceramic crowns and bridges, complete dentures ceramic crowns and bridges as well as computer aided milling for fabrications of Dental prostheses as well as use of intraoral scanners for fabrication of prosthesis .
