We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Dental Prosthetist to join our dental laboratory or clinical support team. In this role, you will design, fabricate, adjust, and repair a wide range of dental prosthetic devices, including crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers, implants, and orthodontic appliances, based on prescriptions and specifications provided by dentists, prosthodontists, or other oral healthcare professionals. The ideal candidate combines strong technical craftsmanship with a deep understanding of dental anatomy, materials, aesthetics, and laboratory safety standards.
As a Dental Prosthetist, you will work with impressions, digital scans, molds, and advanced dental manufacturing equipment to produce high-quality restorations that meet functional, aesthetic, and comfort requirements. You will be expected to interpret work orders accurately, select appropriate materials such as ceramics, acrylics, resins, waxes, and metal alloys, and ensure that each prosthetic device is produced to precise measurements and quality standards. Attention to detail is essential, as even minor inaccuracies can affect patient comfort, oral function, and treatment outcomes.
This position requires close collaboration with dentists, dental assistants, hygienists, and laboratory technicians to ensure timely delivery of prosthetic solutions and to resolve any fit, shade, or structural issues. You may also contribute to process improvements, maintain laboratory equipment, document production steps, and support compliance with infection control, health, and safety regulations. Familiarity with CAD/CAM systems, 3D printing, and digital dentistry workflows is highly valued, as modern dental prosthetics increasingly rely on technology-driven production methods.
Successful candidates are organized, patient-focused, and committed to producing durable and aesthetically pleasing dental appliances. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where deadlines, precision, and consistency are critical. A strong understanding of occlusion, bite alignment, tooth morphology, and color matching will help you succeed in this role. Whether working in a private dental lab, hospital, specialty clinic, or manufacturing setting, you will play an important role in restoring patients’ oral function, confidence, and quality of life.
This is an excellent opportunity for a professional who takes pride in craftsmanship, values teamwork, and wants to contribute to high-quality dental care through technical expertise and innovation. If you are passionate about dental prosthetics and committed to excellence, we encourage you to apply.
