1. Aspen Dental will reimburse dental technicians 100 percent of the costs linked to the application process and exam fees once they pass.
2. The program will also pay technicians for their annual renewal fees.
3. National Association of Dental Laboratories, the American Dental Association and the American College of Prosthodontists recognize and support the CDT designation.
