You’ll be instrumental in shaping the team, workflows, and technology, with long-term potential to evolve into an Operations or General Manager role.

What You’ll Do:

Technical & Production Duties:

• Perform hands-on fabrication of crowns, bridges, implants, removables, and All-on-X cases (approx. 80% bench work initially).
• Guide team members on complex cases, troubleshoot clinical and technical issues.
• Implement and oversee quality control procedures to ensure consistent case outcomes.
• Support continuous improvement of lab processes and new product integration.

Team Leadership & Lab Management:

• Hire, train, and mentor technicians to build a cohesive and skilled team.
• Manage lab operations including scheduling, production timelines, and supply budgets.
• Monitor workflow from case intake to delivery, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and on-time completion.
• Partner with doctors and the internal business team to deliver high-quality service and strengthen client relationships.
• Track KPIs and contribute to strategic decisions based on performance metrics.
• Ensure full compliance with OSHA regulations, safety standards, and lab best practices.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of hands-on dental lab experience, with expertise in fixed restorations, implants, and All-on-X protocols.
• 2+ years in a supervisory or leadership role, ideally managing a team or department.
• Solid understanding of CAD/CAM design , with working knowledge of 3Shape or Exocad.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills—comfortable interacting with clients and internal stakeholders.
• A proactive leader who enjoys developing talent, optimizing processes, and supporting growth.
• Local candidates preferred, but relocation support is available for the right fit.

Why Join Us?

• Play a key role in launching and shaping a cutting-edge dental laboratory.
• Work closely with industry leaders and a dedicated business development team.
• Grow into a leadership role with expanded operational responsibilities.
• Be part of a team that values quality, innovation, and career development.
