Dental technologists are a very important part of the dental healthcare team. Their duties include fabrication and repair of prostheses, dental crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, as well as maxillofacial surgical and orthodontic appliances. These appliances aim to restore the lost natural teeth of patients by restoring their function, phonetics and aesthetics.

The Department of Dental Technology aims to produce dental technologists that not only have a strong command over the knowledge and technical skill required in this discipline but to also instill in them a sense of strong professional ethics and dedication to lifelong learning. Our graduates leave the institute with the capability to link their theoretical and technical learning with the ever changing needs of the advancing world of dentistry.

Associated Department in FMH College of Dentistry

Fatima Memorial College of Dentistry has a fully functional dental technology lab where all prostheses are fabricated under the supervision of highly trained dental professionals and technologists as part of students’ practical training.

Career Opportunities Upon Graduation

BSc. (Hons) Dental Technology program is designed to provide graduates with the foundation needed to assume leadership in the field of dental technology.
