Dental Technician Schools - Accredited Programs


Dental Technician Schools

Dental Technician programs provide the best way for an individual to become a lab technician. Studying in an accredited school provides a formal education based on the latest dental procedures and techniques. The schools on this list are responsible for ensuring all standards which apply to dental technicians are taught to prospective students and that they emerge as competent dental lab technicians. If you are an international student looking to become a dental technician in the US, see information on studying in the US.


The following list of dental techician schools for dental lab technicians in the United States. Graduates of these programs receive either an associate degree or a certificate. (Graduates of 2-year training programs may need additional hands-on experience to become fully qualified). There are also a few programs that offer a four-year baccalaureate program in dental technology. In most cases, a high school diploma or its equivalent is needed to apply to an accredited dental lab technician program.


The overall quality of education provided by all U.S. accredited dental schools on this list is high. While there are publications which provide ranking information for dental technician schools, this information can often be misleading and is therefore, unreliable for most individuals. One of the best measurements of a dental technician school’s academic performance is through its accreditation status.


The Commission on Dental Accreditation has developed accreditation standards for dental technician programs which are reviewed periodically and revised as necessary. The Commission expects that one of the goals of a dental technician school is to prepare qualified individuals. Accredited dental technician schools must design and implement their own outcomes measures determinants in order to fully assess if the goals and objectives of the program is being met. Results of theses ongoing, documented assessment processes must be used to evaluate the program's effectiveness in meeting its goals, to improve program quality and enhance student achievement. Unless noted, all programs listed on this list of dental technician schools have adequately satisfied the requirements set forth by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and are given the accreditation seal of approval.

The decision depends on many factors; career goals, personal interests, financial considerations, etc. For this reason, use diligence when evaluating a program on this list of dental technician schools. Seek advice from health care professionals and career advisers. While the goal is to be accepted into a dental technician program, the objective is to get into a program that compliments your goals, your abilities, and expectations. This involves doing research, interviewing the prospective dental technician schools, and submitting all required materials such as transcripts and references, as well as the "dreaded" essay.
