The Denturist Technology diploma equips students with comprehensive knowledge, practical skills, and hands-on training for evaluating, creating, and fitting both full and partial dentures.
NAIT's three-year Denturist Technology curriculum combines two years of classroom instruction with one year of clinical practice. Students gain experience using advanced equipment in NAIT Dental Clinic's nine specialized treatment rooms. Typical weekly commitments include: 32 hours of classroom time per semester, 10-12 hours for coursework and assignments, with additional hours in later years dedicated to patient coordination - clinical responsibilities increase while study time gradually reduces.
This oral healthcare profession demands meticulous precision and quick decision-making for intricate adjustments. Practitioners must demonstrate innovative problem-solving abilities while maintaining effective patient communication in demanding clinical settings.
