Triton is looking for artistically talented students that have the ability to work with small hand instruments and pay attention to minute details. We want students who can work with the dental professional and can take the responsibility as a professional person working in the health care arena. Triton is the only accredited school in northern Illinois that teaches this specialized area of expertise. We have both a certificate program and a two-year degree program. Classes are offered during the day and evening.
All credits are transferable to many universities and colleges towards a bachelor's degree.
A graduate of the DLT program can work for dentists, dental laboratories, hospitals, be technical representatives for dental companies, teach in schools like Triton, or they may operate their own dental laboratory. Many of our graduates have laboratories in their own homes. Some of our graduates have used the training they received at Triton to go on to dental school. Trained dental technicians are in great demand and they can work worldwide. Triton is accredited by the American Dental Association, endorsed by The National Association of Dental Laboratories, and is affiliated with the Illinois Dental Laboratory Association.
