Year 12 students, Roni and Warzan recently attended an insight day at a local dental clinic, where they gained valuable first-hand experience of working in a dental setting after successfully securing the placement.

During the visit, they were shown how dental impressions are taken in preparation for crowns, as well as how modern 3D scanning technology is used to create digital impressions of the mouth. They also had the opportunity to interact with patients and observe how dental professionals communicate and build rapport in a clinical environment.

In addition, they observed a range of dental treatments, including root canal procedures, routine cleanings and dental implants. The day provided an excellent overview of both the clinical and patient-focused aspects of dentistry and offered a realistic insight into the profession. Both students are aspiring dentists and found the experience particularly valuable in supporting their future career ambitions.
