Dental Laboratory Technician jobs

FAME Dentistry | Glasgow Southside

Job Type: Permanent, hours to be agreed

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

An exciting opportunity to help shape a modern dental laboratory!

FAME Dentistry is a new, purpose-built private dental clinic in Glasgow's Southside, bringing together advanced clinical dentistry, digital technology, dental education and an in-house laboratory.

We provide a wide range of treatments, from cosmetic and restorative dentistry to complex implant rehabilitation and guided implant surgery.

As we develop our laboratory services, we're looking for a skilled, enthusiastic and versatile Dental Technician to join us and play an important role in shaping this exciting part of our business.

About the role

This is a varied and hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical and creative aspects of dental technology.

You'll work closely with our clinicians, contributing to high-quality restorative and prosthetic solutions, with the opportunity to be involved in both conventional laboratory techniques and digital workflows.

Our clinical services encompass everything from single crowns and veneers to complex implant-supported restorations and full-arch rehabilitation.

We're particularly interested in someone with a broad understanding of dental laboratory processes, rather than someone who works exclusively within one discipline.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Producing high-quality crowns, bridges, veneers and other fixed restorations.
• Ceramic work, including finishing, staining, glazing and aesthetic characterisation.
• Fabrication, adjustment and repair of removable prosthetics, including dentures.
• Supporting the production of implant-supported prosthetics, from single-unit restorations to more complex cases.
• Using CAD/CAM technology and digital workflows, including our CEREC system.
• Supporting digital implant planning and the production of surgical guides, where appropriately trained.
• Working closely with clinicians to discuss case requirements, materials, designs and technical solutions.
• Maintaining excellent standards of accuracy, quality control, laboratory safety and documentation.
• Helping to develop efficient laboratory systems and workflows as the service grows.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their craftsmanship, enjoys variety and is keen to continue learning.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A recognised dental technology qualification and current GDC registration.
• Practical experience in dental laboratory work, with a good understanding of fixed and removable prosthetics.
• Experience in ceramics, crown and bridge work, and/or implant prosthetics.
• An understanding of modern digital dentistry, including CAD/CAM processes.
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing consistently high-quality work.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to collaborate directly with clinicians.
• An organised, proactive approach to managing cases and meeting deadlines.

It would also be advantageous to have experience in:

• CEREC and digital restoration design.
• Exocad, 3Shape or similar dental design software.
• Implant-supported restorations and full-arch prosthetics.
• Digital implant planning and surgical guide production.
• 3D printing, milling and other digital manufacturing techniques.

We don't expect every applicant to have experience in every area. We're equally interested in hearing from technicians who have a strong foundation in one or more disciplines and are keen to broaden their skills.

Why join FAME Dentistry?

This is an opportunity to be part of something new, rather than simply stepping into an established laboratory routine.

At FAME, we're developing a collaborative environment where clinical expertise, technical craftsmanship and modern technology come together.

You'll benefit from:

• A modern, purpose-built clinical and laboratory environment.
• The opportunity to work alongside clinicians delivering a wide variety of restorative, cosmetic and implant treatments.
• Exposure to advanced digital dentistry and complex clinical cases.
• The chance to contribute ideas and help shape the development of our laboratory.
• Opportunities for professional growth and skills development.
• A supportive, ambitious team that values quality, collaboration and innovation.
