Dentist – Dental Lab Coordination & Quality Control

Role Overview

We are looking for a qualified Dentist who can work closely with our dental lab team and act as a key link between the clinic, patients, dentists, and laboratory.

The ideal candidate should have strong clinical understanding, excellent communication skills, and a good eye for detail. The role will involve coordinating patient cases with the dental laboratory, reviewing the quality and accuracy of dental work, communicating required changes, and ensuring cases are completed correctly and on time.

Key Responsibilities

Coordinate closely with the dental laboratory team for crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, implant prosthetics, smile design cases, and other laboratory work.

Review prescriptions, scans, impressions, photographs, shade details, and other case information before laboratory production begins.

Ensure that all required information is clearly communicated between the treating dentist and the lab team.

Follow up on laboratory cases and ensure work is completed according to the required timelines.

Check the quality, fit, finish, shade, anatomy, occlusion, margins, contacts, and overall aesthetics of laboratory work before it is sent for patient delivery.

Identify errors, discrepancies, or quality concerns and coordinate corrections or remakes with the laboratory team.

Communicate with patients regarding their laboratory-related treatment stages, appointments, try-ins, expected timelines, and required follow-ups.

Assist with patient consultations where required and help explain treatment processes relating to crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, implants, and other prosthetic work.

Coordinate between patients, clinicians, technicians, and the laboratory to avoid delays and miscommunication.

Maintain accurate records of cases, laboratory instructions, changes, approvals, and delivery dates.

Review completed cases to ensure they meet the clinic's required clinical and aesthetic standards.

Escalate complex cases or quality concerns to the senior dentist or management team.

Help improve laboratory workflows, quality-control processes, and communication systems.

Support the team in reducing remakes, delays, and laboratory errors.

Ensure all patient information and case records are handled confidentially.

Candidate Requirements

BDS qualification is required.

Valid dental registration as applicable.

Good understanding of restorative and prosthodontic dentistry.

Experience with crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, implants, and other laboratory-based dental work is preferred.

Strong knowledge of dental anatomy, occlusion, shade selection, margins, contacts, fit, and aesthetics.

Ability to critically assess dental laboratory work before final delivery.

Excellent communication and coordination skills.

Comfortable communicating with patients and laboratory technicians.

Strong attention to detail and quality.

Good organisational and follow-up skills.

Ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines.

Basic knowledge of digital dentistry, intraoral scans, CAD/CAM workflows, and dental photography will be an advantage.

Ideal Candidate

This role would suit a Dentist who enjoys the clinical and technical side of dentistry and is interested in working closely with a dental laboratory rather than focusing only on routine chairside dentistry.

The candidate should be confident in reviewing dental cases, identifying quality issues, communicating corrections clearly, and ensuring patients receive high-quality final dental work.
