Job Description

About the Role

Patients know a removable appliance is successful the moment it enters their mouth. Our in-office laboratory is looking for an experienced Removable Technician who takes pride in creating high-quality dentures and partials that fit flawlessly, function comfortably, and look natural from day one.

In this role, your craftsmanship directly impacts patient outcomes. You won't just be working a general bench—you'll be working closely with our clinical team in a specialized environment where precision, quality, and artisan detail are valued over high-volume assembly lines.

What You Will Do

• Full-Scope Fabrication: Produce complete dentures, cast partials, and flexible removable appliances meeting exact prescriptions for fit, occlusion, shade, and contour.

• Esthetic Try-Ins: Mount cases, set teeth, and wax-up with high precision so clinicians can evaluate fit and aesthetics with minimal chairside adjustments.

• Processing & Finishing: Process, trim, and polish appliances to strict standards of border accuracy, surface finish, and tissue adaptation.

• Quality Assurance: Catch setup, articulation, or processing discrepancies at the bench to minimize remakes and ensure clean deliveries.

• Turnaround Management: Maintain steady workflow schedules without sacrificing craft or quality, proactively communicating any timeline risks.

• Prescription & Record Review: Accurately interpret clinician notes, bite records, and models; reach out directly to clinicians to clear up any ambiguities before fabrication starts.

• Detailed Documentation: Maintain clear case tracking, material usage notes, and technical records for seamless team continuity.

Work Environment & Culture

You will operate in a fully equipped, collaborative in-office lab alongside dedicated clinicians and experienced peers. You will have access to quality processing systems, articulation tools, shade-matching resources, and premium materials.

Why Join Us?

• Specialized Focus: Concentrate on removable prosthetics without having your craft diluted by unrelated lab tasks.

• Direct Patient Impact: See how your handiwork transforms smiles, speech, and chewing function in real-time.

• True Collaboration: Work side-by-side with clinicians who value your technical judgment and input.

• Pride in Ownership: Enjoy a culture focused on low remake rates, accurate deliveries, and work you can stand behind.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Proven hands-on experience fabricating complete dentures and partials (flexible and cast metal)—including setup, wax, process, and finish.

• Technical Precision: Demonstrated skill reading prescriptions, mounting cases, reproducing midlines, and achieving proper occlusion.

• Material Expertise: Strong understanding of acrylic resins, denture teeth, clasps, and appropriate material applications.

• Track Record: A history of low remake percentages and consistent on-time delivery in a clinical or production lab setting.

• Communication: Ability to communicate clearly with clinicians when additional records or adjustments are needed to ensure a successful outcome.

• Lab Standards: Meticulous habits regarding infection control, model preservation, and workspace organization.
