About the College

Dental Technicians are health care professionals who fabricate
dental appliances which are prescribed by a dentist or requested by a
denturist.
Their complete scope of practice is set out in the Dental Technician Regulation (in PDF format, 8K).
Dental Technicians must be registered with their regulatory
college and may use the reserved title of Dental Technician (DT),
Registered Dental Technician (RDT) or Certified Dental Technician
(CDT).
The College of Dental Technicians of British Columbia is established by Regulation under the Health Professions Act.
The College's primary purpose is to serve and protect the public by regulating the profession of dental technology.
