Removable Department Lead

Removable Department Lead (Analog & Digital)

Location: Little Rock, AR.

Employment Type: Full-Time | On-site.

About the Opportunity:

A growing, relationship-driven dental laboratory is launching a Removable Department and is seeking an experienced Dental Lab Technician (Analog & Digital) to help build it from the ground up.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a foundational leadership opportunity for a technician who wants real influence, long-term upside, and direct alignment between their work and the department’s success.

If you enjoy craftsmanship, problem-solving, and helping shape systems—not just following them—this role was designed for you.

Role Overview

The Removable Department Lead will play a critical role in establishing, developing, and scaling a new removable service line with strong existing demand.

This position combines hands-on production with department development, offering the opportunity to influence workflows, materials, pricing, quality standards, and future team growth.

The right candidate is a builder mindset technician—detail-oriented, collaborative, and excited to help create something meaningful.

• Department Development & Leadership.
• Help design and implement removable workflows (analog and digital).
• Assist with selecting materials, equipment, and digital processes.
• Contribute to pricing strategy, turnaround times, and quality benchmarks.
• Partner with leadership to scale the department responsibly and efficiently.

• Wax-ups, tooth setups, processing, finishing, and polishing.
• Fabrication of full dentures, partials, bite splints, and other removables.
• Repairs, relines, and adjustments with precision and consistency.

• Manage digital portals and IOS cases.
• Design removable prosthetics using CAD software.
• Support 3D printing and digital production workflows.
• Integrate digital efficiencies while maintaining high esthetic and functional standards.

• Communicate directly with dentists and internal team members.

• Support training and future team expansion as volume increases.

• Proven experience fabricating removable prosthetics (dentures, partials).
• Strong analog skill set with openness to digital workflows.
• Solid understanding of dental lab terminology and processes.
• High attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship.
• Strong communication skills and leadership mindset.

• Experience launching or scaling a removable department.
• CAD/CAM and/or 3D printing experience.
• Entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mentality.

We are looking for a builder — not a button pusher.

• Competitive base pay (commensurate with experience).
• Profit-sharing opportunity tied directly to removable department performance.
• Significant long-term growth potential as the department scales.
• Access to modern digital equipment and workflows.
• Supportive, collaborative, and growth-focused team environment.

• You will help create, not inherit, the department.
• Your input matters — workflows, systems, and standards.
• Clear path to increased responsibility and compensation.
• Direct alignment between your success and the lab’s success.
