A dental technician is part of the dental team who fabricates dental appliances dentures, crown and bridgework, removable prothesis and implants.
The technician will be skilled in working with gold, precious metals, dental porcelain, acrylics, and, recently CAD/CAM, in order to custom manufacture devices that will exactly fit a patient. Dental technology is changing rapidly, with new materials and techniques gaining clinical acceptance.
Dental technicians are educated to degree level at a post secondary facility. The profession attracts artistic, detail oriented individuals who have a flair for this unique combination of science, art, and digital dexterity.

There are Career Schools which teach this profession, as well as Jr. Colleges. Check out U.S. Labor statistics online (links through the Workforce Commission in your area). Also, income may be found on Salary.com.

Hahaha, I don't know if you meant to, but I laughed so hard the people sitting next to me must think I am some sort of nutcase or something.
