Welcome
This website is designed for the benefit of the public and for all members of
the dental profession. Patients are now able to have a look at the laboratory
side of dentistry and hopefully gain more insight into laboratory manufactured
products. Our members commit themselves to the dental profession by being a
member of this association. In this exciting and fast changing world of new
products and techniques, our members are encouraged to attend continual
professional development courses held in this country and abroad.
Ultimately it is the patient who benefits from high standards of workmanship and
choices from a vast range of custom made laboratory products.
In the Republic of Ireland all dental laboratories are legally obliged to be
registered with The Irish Medicines Board. We are continually audited to ensure
legislation compliance including safe working practices and all products are
manufactured using products which are traceable.
Our members are encouraged to produce a 'Certificate of Conformance' to be given
to the patient by their Dentist when they have a dental appliance fitted. This
is primarily to show the patient who the manufacturer is and that what they have
been given is manufactured under the strict relevant legislation. Patients may
also wish to contact the laboratory directly for any queries. You can see the
list of members in the 'Members database' and who is registered with the Irish
Medicines Board.
