Ocularist

Did you ever wonder what happens when somebody loses an eye? Usually, they get surgery and then an ocularist comes in and gets measurements and customizes artificial eyes that will fit perfectly into your eye socket. These people are so good at what they do that most people wouldn't even notice an artificial eye if they saw one. It is not as hard as you think though.. Since no two eyes look exactly the same. Artificial eyes use to be made using glass but now they are made of acrylic plastic.





Prosthodontists

Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in replacing teeth using things like bridges, crowns, and dentures. Prosthodontists do everything that a normal dentist does as well. Dentists do things such as looking at your teeth, determining if your teeth need any work done to them, fill teeth, put on caps, and remove decay.
     The only differences that separate a prosthodontist from a dentist is that they do measurements and model for dentures, repair fractured teeth, and even do surgery on gums.

Requirements:

  • Get a degree from an accredited dentist school
  • Apply and receive a license for the state which you plan to work in
  • Pass a specialized exam


Salary and Future Outlook:

Prosthodontists make on average anywhere from $110,300-$196,000 a year.
People believe that this job will increase around 28% by the year 2018.


Personal Experience:

My friends dad does this as a career and they have a nice house and they don't have to worry about paying their bills.
