Dental Laboratory Technician Working Conditions
Dental laboratory technicians generally work in clean, well-lighted, and
well-ventilated areas. Technicians usually have their own workbenches, which
can be equipped with Bunsen burners, grinding and polishing equipment, and
hand instruments, such as wax spatulas and wax carvers. Some technicians
have computer-aided milling equipment to assist them with creating
artificial teeth.
The work is extremely delicate and time consuming. Salaried technicians usually work 40 hours a week, but self-employed technicians frequently work longer hours. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2004-05 Edition
