Why choose to study Dental Technology?

A dentist cannot work alone. Behind every crown, orthodontic appliance, or denture that transforms a smile is a dental technician—the specialist who turns a clinical prescription into millimetre-precision work. If you enjoy building, working with materials, and combining science with manual skill, this is the specialization for you.

UVVG’s Dental Technology program operates within the Faculty of Dentistry—the first structure of its kind established at our university back in 1991, with direct roots in the Post-Secondary School of Dental Technology founded in Arad in 1956. This means you study just a few metres from dental medicine students, in the same building, with access to the same laboratory infrastructure and the same teaching staff made up of active practitioners.

The three years of study provide comprehensive training: dental prosthetics (fixed, removable, and composite), orthodontics, and oro-maxillofacial surgery. You do not learn from a single perspective—you learn to think like a specialist who understands what the doctor does, what the patient wants, and how to build the piece that meets both needs.

Upon graduation, you receive the Diploma Supplement in English—opening access to the European labour market. A border county with a multicultural profile, Arad is a starting point with far more opportunities than you might imagine.
