Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled High-End Anterior Ceramist to join our dental laboratory team. This position is ideal for a ceramist with exceptional artistic ability, advanced knowledge of dental ceramics, and a strong commitment to creating natural, highly esthetic anterior restorations.

The ideal candidate understands that high-end anterior dentistry requires more than technical accuracy—it requires an eye for form, proportion, texture, translucency, value, color, and natural characterization.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and fabricate premium anterior restorations, including:
• Porcelain veneers
• Full-contour and layered anterior crowns
• Lithium disilicate restorations
• Zirconia-based anterior restorations
• Implant-supported anterior restorations
• Minimal-prep and no-prep veneers where appropriate
• Perform advanced ceramic layering, staining, glazing, and characterization.
• Reproduce natural tooth morphology, surface texture, translucency, opalescence, fluorescence, and incisal effects.
• Interpret clinical photographs, scans, digital designs, shade information, and dentist prescriptions.
• Collaborate closely with dentists and the clinical team to achieve predictable esthetic outcomes.
• Evaluate shade, value, chroma, and form and make appropriate modifications when necessary.
• Maintain exceptional marginal integrity, contacts, occlusion, emergence profiles, and overall fit.
• Participate in complex anterior cases and smile-design workflows.
• Communicate effectively with clinicians regarding case planning, material selection, preparation design, and esthetic expectations.
• Maintain a consistently high standard of quality while meeting agreed-upon case deadlines.
• Stay current with advances in ceramic materials, digital dentistry, CAD/CAM, photography, and esthetic techniques.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience as a dental ceramist, with a strong focus on high-end anterior esthetics.
• Advanced hands-on experience with ceramic systems and anterior layering techniques.
• Strong understanding of dental anatomy, occlusion, morphology, and color science.
• Exceptional attention to detail and artistic ability.
• Ability to work from clinical photography and digital records.
• Strong communication and case-planning skills.
• Ability to independently manage complex anterior cases from start to finish.
• Consistent track record of producing highly esthetic, natural-looking restorations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-end cosmetic and full-mouth rehabilitation cases.
• Experience working directly with cosmetic dentists and prosthodontists.
• Strong digital dentistry/CAD-CAM experience.
• Advanced knowledge of photography and shade communication.
• Experience with implant aesthetics and customized anterior emergence profiles.
• A portfolio demonstrating high-level anterior ceramic work.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on complex, high-end cosmetic cases.
• Collaborative environment with experienced clinicians and laboratory professionals.
• Access to advanced materials, technology, and digital workflows.
• Opportunities for continuing education and professional development.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and demonstrated skill.
• A quality-focused environment where craftsmanship and esthetics are highly valued.
• 
  

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a craftsperson, artist, and technical expert who takes pride in producing restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. You should be passionate about anterior esthetics, comfortable handling challenging cases, and committed to delivering exceptional results rather than simply meeting minimum technical requirements.

Portfolio of anterior cases is strongly encouraged.
