Prosthetic Dental Technician jobs

Experienced Prosthetic Dental Technician – We're Expanding!

The Hive Dental Laboratory | Bournemouth, Dorset

Salary: £28,000–£40,000 per annum, depending on experience and ability to work independently.

We're expanding our team at The Hive and are looking for an experienced Prosthetic Dental Technician to join us!

We're an award-winning, independent dental laboratory in Bournemouth, working on a wide range of private prosthetic cases, from conventional dentures through to complex implant restorations.

With our own onsite dental clinic, a growing team and continued investment in new technology, there's always something interesting going on.

We're passionate about producing excellent work, but equally keen to create an environment where people enjoy what they do, share ideas and have the opportunity to develop.

What will you be doing?

You'll be joining our prosthetics department, working on a varied range of cases and taking responsibility for your own work.

Your role will include:

• Denture tooth set-ups, processing and finishing.
• Acrylic and chrome removable prosthetics.
• Implant-retained and implant-supported prosthetics.
• Taking ownership of cases, working independently to troubleshoot technical challenges, identify solutions and ensure consistently high standards.
• Managing your own workload, carrying out quality control checks and meeting agreed deadlines.
• Communicating directly with dentists to discuss cases, resolve queries and offer technical advice.
• Getting involved with digital workflows and new techniques as we continue to develop.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who enjoys being a dental technician, takes pride in their work and wants to keep getting better at what they do.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Good experience in denture set-ups and finishing.
• A sound understanding of denture fabrication, dental anatomy and occlusion.
• Experience with chrome and implant prosthetics, or an interest in developing these skills.
• The confidence to work independently, make technical decisions and solve problems without constant supervision.
• A good eye for detail and the ability to produce consistently high-quality work.
• Good communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.
• A positive attitude and willingness to contribute to the wider team.
• An interest in learning new techniques and developing your career.

Digital experience would be great, but it's not essential. We value traditional technical skills just as much as digital ones, and there's plenty of opportunity to learn.

We're not expecting someone who knows absolutely everything. We're much more interested in someone who has a good foundation, uses their initiative, asks questions when needed and wants to improve.

Why join The Hive?

Award-winning laboratory

We're proud to have been recognised as the UK's Best Implant Laboratory, and we work on some genuinely interesting and challenging cases.

More than just a laboratory

With our own onsite dental clinic, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with clinicians, discuss cases directly and see the results of your work beyond the bench.

Traditional meets digital

We work with both conventional and digital techniques, including CAD/CAM, 3D printing and digital denture workflows. There's plenty of opportunity to expand your skills.

We encourage learning

Courses, further training and professional development are something we actively support. We're always learning ourselves, and we want our team to do the same.

A good place to work

We're a friendly, hardworking team who take pride in what we produce. We support each other, share knowledge and believe there's always room for a laugh during the working day.

Plenty of variety

From everyday dentures to complex implant prosthetics, there's a good mix of work and plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself.
