    Dental courses focus on training dentists to diagnose, treat, and manage oral health issues, including surgeries and complex procedures. They combine clinical practice with theory in oral medicine, orthodontics, and preventive care.

    Dental technician courses, however, are more lab-oriented. They teach students to fabricate dental prosthetics, crowns, bridges, and other appliances. Technicians work under dentists rather than treating patients directly.
