Dental Technician - Fixed Model Room in Waunakee, Wisconsin at Frontier Dental Laboratories, Inc.

Do you enjoy working with your hands and creating things with precision and care?

Are you the kind of person who takes pride in detail — the kind who notices the little things others miss? If so, we’d like to meet you.

D&S Dental Laboratory is looking for a detail-oriented Dental Technician - Fixed Model Room to join our team in Waunakee, WI. In this role, you’ll create and prepare dental models from impressions for fixed prosthetics — pouring, trimming, and articulating models that form the foundation of every fixed case we fabricate.

Every restoration we deliver starts with the work you do. If you like seeing the real results of your craftsmanship every day, this position offers a rewarding opportunity.

What You’ll Do

As our Fixed Model Room Technician, you’ll help restore smiles by:

• Reading and interpreting the prescription included with each case and preparing models to match doctors’ written orders and specifications

• Pouring, trimming, sectioning, and articulating stone models from patient impressions with accuracy and consistency

• Fabricating models of the mouth and teeth based on impressions taken by dental professionals

• Following the daily case schedule and production goals to keep cases moving on time

• Operating hand tools and lab equipment, including electric drills, lathes, presses, high-heat furnaces, sandblasters, grinders, and carvers

• Collaborating with quality control specialists to uphold product standards and identify cases that need extra attention

• Using supplies and equipment efficiently while keeping work areas and materials ready to go
