Who We Are

Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who can join our fun family, who is a constructive thinker, can be 2 steps ahead, that's fast on their feet. Crown, Bridge, and fillings are our bread and butter here. We need someone who can make a functional, nice-looking temp crown that will stay on the prep for the duration of lab fabrication. We scan for crowns, bridge, occlusal guards & partials, physical impressions are taken for implants and Invisalign cases, so being proficient in impressions is a must. Being detailed on treatment notes is a must too, it is important for insurance claims to be processed in a timely manner.
