Bachelor of Dental Prosthetics
TAFE Queensland - South Bank
Overview Admissions Criteria Student Profile Career Possibilities
Course outline

Dental prosthetists work independently to provide complete and partial dentures, dental appliances, and mouth-guards to the public. This course is suitable for both students wanting to take their existing oral health qualification to the next level, and students with no prior dental experience wanting to forge a new career path with a clinical qualification. Students learn to issue, maintain and examine dental prosthetics, insert and try-in dentures, take impressions, and undertake production and technical work. This is a highly technical course, with units providing broad and coherent knowledge in pathophysiology, pharmacology, radiology, and clinical skills.
