Dental Technician — Digital Dentistry & Design
We're not hiring for a back-room lab job. We're looking for someone who wants to sit chairside with doctors, design smiles digitally, and watch their work walk out the door on a real patient the same day.
At Smile House, the technician isn't hidden behind a mill in a separate building — they're part of the treatment team. If you're ambitious, technically sharp, and want a career built around digital dentistry rather than a decade of designing crowns for a large outside lab, this role is designed for you.
The Opportunity
Doctor + Technician + Digital Dentistry + Patient + Design — working together, in the same room, in real time.
You'll be embedded in a modern, technology-forward practice where your design decisions shape real patient outcomes, not just production quotas. This is a chance to help build the digital lab of the future from the inside, with real room to grow into a bigger role as the practice's digital capabilities expand.
What You'll Do
- Design and mill restorations using a modern chairside CAD/CAM workflow
- Build digital smile designs and wax-ups that doctors and patients can review together
- Apply your understanding of occlusion and anatomy to functional, natural-looking results
- Bring a genuine eye for esthetics to every case
- Use 3D printing as a core part of the fabrication process
- Work directly with doctors chairside — not just handed a prescription, but part of the conversation
- Grow into new responsibilities as the digital workflow and the practice expand
Must Have
- Digital background — hands-on experience with a digital scan/design/mill workflow
- Dental background — working knowledge of occlusion, anatomy, and restorative fabrication
- Digital smile design / wax-up experience
- An excellent, trained eye for esthetics
- Hands-on 3D printing experience
- Willingness and desire to work chairside with doctors
- Ambition — you're looking to grow, not just clock in
Nice to Have
- Analog experience — traditional waxing, analog articulator work
- Ceramics and porcelain work
- Acrylic experience
- Implant restorations
- Knowledge of Roland mill machines
- Photography and shade matching
- Comfort communicating directly with patients
