Job Overview

The premier Prosthodontic office in Southeast Wisconsin is growing and looking to add full-time removable dental laboratory technician(s) on-site. We make realistic, ideal prostheses. Low volume, high effort, exceptional quality is our everyday standard.

You would be working directly with the owner and his associates. We use, and will continue to use, traditional acrylic processing techniques for the majority of our cases. Experience with Ivocap processing and custom staining of acrylic prostheses would be ideal, but is not required. Managing cast fabrication, tooth arrangements, waxing, and other associated steps with removable prostheses will be necessary. Many of our removable prostheses involve dental implants, but hands-on experience with them is not required. Fixed prosthodontic experience is appreciated as well, but currently we are focused on adding or training for removable skills.

Training by our prosthodontists and staff will be part of the transition and should be anticipated regardless of the experience level. You would be joining our team prior to the construction of a new on-site laboratory space for you and the team to work in.

The laboratory aspects of this job are available to an interested and motivated individual as their own independent business, running along-side our prosthodontic practice. For those interested, a large volume of work is already guaranteed and a profitable business opportunity awaits. Outside cases from our large circle of colleagues, also working at our high level, would further supplement an active dental laboratory. The 'offered' hourly pay listed here is therefore not indicative of the true income opportunity.

For experienced laboratory technicians this is an opportunity to work in a low-stress, productive, engaged, appreciated, and lasting environment. This environment is the anti-thesis of the current corporate run laboratory industry where all teeth look the same and the general dentist partners don't appreciate the difficulties of the laboratory. Just think, you could actually see and meet the patients you helped restore! In addition, your cases will be seen in lectures (we lecture and publish our cases), take a look at our facebook page and website.

Responsibilities & Requirements

Proven laboratory experience in traditional removable dental prosthesis fabrication
Cooperative and for the collective good
Be willing to accept critique
Have the drive to be constantly improving
Have the hand skills / ability /commitment to deliver high quality results

As noted above, the specific arrangement of this position could be for someone who wants to stay an employee and be hourly/salary. Or it could be for someone looking to run their own high end boutique removable prosthodontic laboratory.

All options are on the table for the right person. Contact us if this sounds interesting and your tired of the daily clock driven corporate lab culture.
