Dental Technician – Quality Control Specialist

With 10 years of experience in dental laboratory technology, I specialize in quality control and final case evaluation. I ensure that every restoration meets the highest standards of precision, functionality, and aesthetics before delivery.

My expertise includes detailed inspection of crowns, bridges, veneers, and implant-supported restorations. I am highly skilled in margin verification, internal fit assessment, occlusion analysis, contact point evaluation, and shade matching.

I am passionate about maintaining excellence in every case and supporting both clinicians and technicians to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
