Prosthodontists

Get a part-time or summer job in a prosthodontist's office to learn more about the day-to-day work involved in this field. Conduct an online search for job listings and also ask your school's career services office for help with finding employment opportunities. An informational interview with a prosthodontist is a great way to get the inside scoop on this career. Create a list of questions first before meeting with the prosthodontist, to make sure you get the advice needed to determine if this is a good job fit for you. The American College of Prosthodontics offers helpful information on the career section of its Web site, https://www.prosthodontics.org/careers/careers-in-prosthodontics. Read publications on prosthodontics to keep up with the techniques, tools, and materials used and current best practices in the field. Some publications will require membership to the association that publishes them, such as the ACA's Journal of Prosthodontics.
