HLT55115 Diploma of Dental Technology

Yorke Institute is the only provider offering training in a commercial Dental laboratory

Yorke Institute has partnered with one of a leading dental laboratory in Victoria to offer a unique form of training for the HLT55115 Diploma of Dental Technology course.

The partnership with a premier commercial dental laboratory enables our students to be trained by some of the most experienced and skilled technicians in the industry. All practical training will be conducted in a commercial dental laboratory, not a classroom.

The HLT55115 Diploma of Dental Technology has been superseded by HLT55118 - Diploma of Dental Technology . Yorke will transition students enrolled in the HLT55115 as of 1 January 2018 into the new HLT55118 - Diploma of Dental Technology course.

Work experience

Yorke Institute Dental students will be given opportunities to work with our partnering dental labs.

Our students who have progressed to a satisfactory academic and skill level will be placed on a work experience rotation at the dental laboratory.  They will work side by side with experienced and skilled technicians and dental prosthesis on various commercial tasks. They will learn commercial practices through the use of current and advanced technology.

Technology

The dental laboratory possesses every piece of equipment expected of a world-class Laboratory including the most advanced CAD-CAM facility in the Southern Hemisphere. Students will learn how qualified CAD-CAM technicians operate these machines to produce accurate and high quality work in real commercial environment.

The dental laboratory is complete with a separate scanning and milling room where two of the most technologically advanced Milling machines by Wieland Zeno and iMES operate round the clock.

Students will learn how Crown & Bridge frameworks and copings are designed and cut using 3Shape scanners and milling machines by iMES and Wieland Zeno.

The dental laboratory is a pioneer in 3Shape Trios Intra-Oral Scanner. With Intra-oral scanning, impressions taken by dentists can be sent via email instead of courier. The dental laboratory’s state-of-the-art milling machines are used to design and manufacture Crowns whilst the models are printed by a 3D printer.

This training is delivered with Victorian and Commonwealth Government funding. People with disabilities are encouraged to apply
