I have nearly completed my degree as a Dental Lab Technician (will be sitting the RG exam this spring), and would dearly love a position in either a lab or a dentist's office, where I can continue my training in a hands-on environment.
I am in the top 3 students in my year, and have a strong grasp on occlusion, anatomy and tooth morphology. As far as labwork goes, I have demonstrated initial proficiency in orthodontic wirebending, RPD design, and crown and bridge. Currently studying porcelain, so that is an area of weakness at the moment. I am also passable at denture work, but have not yet been exposed to pourable acrylic techniques (which I would love to try out). As I have not yet chosen a specialization (though I'm leaning toward ortho work), I would be open to any available lab positions.
Currently living in Richmond, Virginia, and I have a school-age daughter (as well as my own classes to consider), so unfortunately my relocation options are not good right now. But if there are any opportunities within a reasonable distance, I would love to hear about it!
