Dental Technician Apprentice

Absolute Dental Services specializes in dental prosthetics. Working with top clinicians, prosthodontists and dental schools throughout the country, we restore many complex, combination, and fixed hybrid type cases. Our office in Charleston is seeking to expand its team of artistic technicians.

We are currently seeking apprentices interested in entering the highly lucrative and artistically fulfilling world of dental technology. Candidates must have great dexterity, a passion for creating and know how to effectively work independently, as well as, in a team environment. If you want to be a part of something truly special, consider yourself artistic or creative and are looking for a long-term career, this position might be for you!

Depending on the position, applicants will be given the opportunity to copy a tooth model using a sculpting clay material to evaluate dexterity and artistic ability. Apprentices will be chosen based on their ability to copy this mold with a creative approach.

Experience in artistry, painting, sculpting, arts or the dental field (i.e. dental assisting etc.) will be a plus but not a must. If your talents are more on the technology, computers, 3-D Printing, Auto Cad, digital animation, etc., we are seeking apprentices in that area as well!

If you love working with your hands and consider yourself to be creative, this might be the opportunity of a lifetime. Dental technology offers a great future with potential advancements and a lucrative wage!
