What does a dental lab do? Make false teeth? So you carve false teeth or what? If that is the case, I think it will be within your life time that this type of work is replaced by a computer with a coordinate measuring system and rapid prototyping. Why? Because it would be less costly, quicker, non-skilled labor (How many Rob's are there?) and profitable for the owner.

Since you are good with your hands and like art, have you tried sculpture? You seem to have the temperament for it.
