Dental Laboratory Technician - Implant Prosthetics (Digital Workflow)

The Implant Center

511 SW 10th Ave, Suite 1102, Portland, OR 97205

About us

The Implant Center is a specialist dental implant practice in downtown Portland. We focus on full-arch reconstruction — All-on-X and 3-on-6 — and we run our lab in-house so we control quality and turnaround end to end. This isn't a high-volume crown-and-bridge mill. Every case matters, and the lab is central to the outcome.

The role

You'll own the digital prosthetic workflow from scan to finished appliance. That means designing, printing, and milling implant-supported prosthetics and working shoulder-to-shoulder with our surgeon on case planning and post-surgical adjustments. You're the person who turns a treatment plan into a prosthetic that fits and lasts.

What you'll do

Design implant prosthetics in CAD (exocad, 3Shape, or equivalent) — provisionals, try-ins, and final restorations
Run 3D printing for surgical guides, models, and provisional appliances
Operate milling equipment for PMMA and zirconia full-arch prosthetics
Handle pre-design planning for All-on-X cases and post-surgical PMMA adjustments
Manage your own QC — verify fit, occlusion, and finish before delivery
Maintain lab equipment and keep the digital pipeline running clean
Coordinate directly with the surgeon and clinical team on case timing

What we're looking for

Hands-on experience designing, printing, and milling implant prosthetics — full-arch experience strongly preferred
Fluency in at least one major CAD platform (exocad or 3Shape)
Comfort running mill and printer hardware without supervision
Sharp eye for fit and finish; you don't pass work you wouldn't be proud of
Someone who wants ownership of a lab, not just a station on an assembly line

Why this role

We're a growing practice with a clear direction. The lab tech who lands here gets autonomy, modern equipment, and the chance to build the lab function as we scale — not inherit someone else's mess.
