If you have experience with denture setups — or you’re a skilled removable tech ready to specialize — this position offers structured workflows, modern digital tools, and a supportive environment where craftsmanship matters.

Key ResponsibilitiesFull‑Arch Denture Setup \& Esthetics

  • Set full‑arch dentures (upper and lower) using proper occlusal schemes and esthetic principles
  • Arrange teeth for try‑ins, wax setups, and final processing
  • Evaluate midline, occlusal plane, vertical dimension, lip support, and phonetics
  • Collaborate with leadership to maintain consistent esthetic standards across cases

Case Management \& Workflow Execution

  • Review prescriptions, impressions, scans, and case notes for accuracy
  • Follow established step‑by‑step workflows for full‑arch removable cases
  • Communicate case needs, missing information, or clinical concerns

  • Participate in hybrid workflows involving printed bases and analog setups

Quality \& Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain a clean, organized workstation
  • Contribute to workflow improvements as the lab scales
  • Participate in ongoing training to refine removable and full‑arch skills

Qualifications

  • Experience in denture setups (full arch or partial)
  • Understanding of occlusion, esthetics, and removable prosthetic principles
  • Strong manual dexterity and attention to detail
  • Ability to follow structured workflows and maintain consistency
  • Experience with wax, acrylic, and removable tools
  • Digital experience (3D printing, digital trays, model work) is a plus but not required
  • Reliable, organized, and able to work independently within a small team

What We Offer

  • Four‑day workweek (Monday–Thursday)
  • Clear, documented workflows that reduce stress and errors
  • Training and development for full‑arch specialization
  • Modern, calm, organized lab environment
  • Opportunities to grow into hybrid, digital, or advanced removable roles
