Master Anterior Dental Ceramist

Job Description

Job Description

Position Overview

We are seeking a master-level Anterior Dental Ceramist with an elite artistic eye and unmatched technical skill to join our high-end boutique laboratory.

In this role, you will be responsible for creating natural, life-like aesthetic restorations—focusing heavily on single central matches, complex anterior veneer cases, full-mouth cosmetic reconstructions, and implant-supported esthetic crowns. You will work in a patient-centric, low-volume/high-quality environment where hand-craftsmanship, depth of translucency, and natural surface texture are prioritized over production volume.

Key Responsibilities

• Artisan Stacking & Layering: Execute complex ceramic build-ups using Feldspathic porcelain, Lithium Disilicate (e.max), and layered Zirconia to match natural internal characterization, mamelons, halo effects, and incisal translucency.

• Single Central & Cosmetic Matching: Master difficult single anterior central matches and multi-unit cosmetic smile redesigns that seamlessly integrate with surrounding dentition.

• Shade Selection & Patient Interface: Perform custom chairside or digital shade evaluations, taking detailed photography to map value, chroma, hue, and surface morphology.

• Contouring, Texture & Polish: Hand-shape, contour, and texture restorations to replicate natural enamel surface anatomy, light reflection, and emergence profiles prior to final glazing.

• CAD/CAM & Digital Integration: Work with digital wax-ups, intraoral scans, and milled substructures (zirconia/disilicate) to perform cut-back and custom layering techniques.

• Clinical Collaboration: Partner directly with prosthodontists and cosmetic dentists to review diagnostic wax-ups, prep designs, shade maps, and try-in feedback.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: 5+ years of dedicated, high-end anterior ceramic experience in a boutique lab or elite clinical setting.

• Artistic Mastery: Deep understanding of tooth morphology, light dynamics, translucency mapping, and facial aesthetics.

• Portfolio Required: A strong portfolio showcasing anterior case work (single centrals, multi-unit veneer cases, before/after photos) is mandatory.

• Material Expertise: Proven proficiency with e.max, Feldspathic porcelain, layered Zirconia, stain/glaze systems, and ceramic characterization kits.

• Precision & Detail: Exceptional hand-eye coordination, magnification habits (loupes/microscope), and dedication to zero-remake quality.

• Communication: Ability to consult professionally with top cosmetic clinicians and articulate technical options clearly.

Why Join Our Team?

• Quality over Quantity: Focus on low daily case counts so you can devote full focus to high-value anterior craftsmanship.

• State-of-the-Art Bench: Access to high-end ceramics, digital equipment, photography setups, and premium materials.

• Collaborative Culture: Work with doctors who respect your craft and involve you as a true partner in treatment planning.

• Professional Growth: Sponsorship for advanced ceramic courses, hands-on masterclasses, and industry symposiums.
