About The Position

A small, established full-service dental laboratory in South Jersey is seeking an experienced Denture Technician / Lead Removable Technician to join its team. This is a hands-on role for a technician who can confidently take denture cases from start to finish with minimal supervision. The laboratory has a close-knit team environment and is looking for someone who can step into a key role within the removable department. The ideal candidate will have strong traditional analog denture skills and the ability to manage the denture workflow independently. Digital denture experience is a plus, but not required.

The Denture Technician will be responsible for handling start-to-finish denture production, including setups, processing, finishing, repairs, and related removable work. This person will serve as the primary denture technician within the lab. While there are other team members who can assist with certain steps such as custom trays, bite blocks, and some repairs, the new hire must be able to independently complete full denture cases and support the department’s daily production needs. The lab currently has digital denture equipment available, but most denture work is still completed using traditional analog methods. A technician with digital denture knowledge would be welcomed and could help guide the lab as it expands that workflow, but the top priority is strong start-to-finish analog denture experience.
