What dental lab technicians make
Median
$49,610
Bottom tenth
$36,660
Top tenth
$76,940
The national median is $49,610 a year, the bottom tenth earn $36,660 or less and the top tenth $76,940 or more (2025 federal wage survey). This is the federal survey's own Dental Laboratory Technicians category, so it matches the job title. Bench technicians who own their own small lab are largely outside these figures.
