Preparing students for a lifetime of making beautiful smiles!
Dental Technology is one of the core dental health professionals supporting the practice of dentistry along with Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene. By definition, it is the art and science of fabricating corrective devices and replacements for natural teeth.
The Dental Technology Program believes:
*An individual desires knowledge to improve talents and skills that will improve their life.
*Education should be desired, challenging and enjoyable to have a lasting lifetime impact.
*A proper sequence of order in instruction ensures development in competencies of basic skills, which places the keystone of higher learning.
*Communication skills, professionalism, and ethical standards are essential to succeed.
We also believe that your dental technology education begins at Kirkwood Community College but will continue throughout your professional career. As you progress through the program the faculty will assist you to fulfill your potential but the ultimate responsibility will always remain with you.
