Certificate
The Advanced Prosthodontic, Implant and Maxillofacial Program is a unique
program that trains dental technicians in the art and science of Advanced
Prosthodontic Devices, Dental Implant Technology and the delicate art of
making prosthetic replacements for the human face and head. Successful
completion of the Dental Technology Associate or Certificate Program is
the prerequisite for selection into the Advanced Prosthodontic, Implant and
Maxillofacial Program. The Advanced Prosthodontic, Implant and
Maxillofacial Program, requires that the candidate spend a week shadowing
a current student followed by an oral interview conducted by the UCLA
program director and faculty. The program consists of the art science and
technology of implant restorations, full mouth reconstructions and
replacement parts of the human face.
