Not a fit / obtain specialist advice

What to prepare before you issue it

  • the digital and physical production systems

Day-to-day operating brief

What Dental Technician work looks like in practice

A dental technician manufactures and repairs crowns, dentures, orthodontic appliances or other devices from prescriptions and digital or physical impressions. The contract should cover registration, device and material traceability, patient data, laboratory equipment, remakes and limits on direct clinical contact.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Manufacture appliances to authorised prescriptions.
  • Verify patient and case identifiers throughout production.
  • Record materials, batches and processing stages.
  • Operate laboratory equipment within competence.
  • Inspect work before authorised release.
  • Protect prescriptions, scans and patient information.

A realistic working scenario

A digital prescription lacks material details and conflicts with the scanned design. The technician holds production and obtains clarification from the prescribing clinician.

Outputs to agree

  • devices made to prescription and specification
  • traceable materials and processes
  • documented quality checks and remakes

Records and evidence

  • Prescription and design file.
  • Material lot and process.
  • Quality inspection.
  • Query, remake and dispatch.
  • Work records.
  • Handover notes.

Reporting relationship

Typically reports to Principal Dentist or Practice Owner. Confirm the employer's actual reporting structure in the builder.

Authority and escalation

  • The technician may design or manufacture within the prescription and competence; changing the clinical specification or providing unauthorised patient treatment requires the prescribing dental professional.
  • Obtain approval before committing expenditure, changing contractual commitments or making regulated or staffing decisions outside the assigned role.

Workplace context

  • Practice reception, clinical administration areas and approved patient-facing areas.

Training and certification

  • Complete employer-required safeguarding training.
  • Complete employer-required health and safety training.

Contract priorities

Information the employer should prepare
