Manage Success
As a laboratory manager, you want to work with a professional, laboratory-focused company. Affordable Dentures Dental Laboratories (ADDL) is the nation’s largest, removable prosthetic laboratory company. As an ADDL laboratory manager, you'll have the opportunity to oversee an on-site lab at an affiliated dental practice, partnering with the practice owner to provide removable denture and partial services.
As you work, you'll have the full support of an experienced, national company behind you. You'll receive advice and assistance across all lab operations. You'll receive a competitive salary and bonus program, along with excellent benefits. And, you'll have the personal gratification of working with an underserved patient population, making a real difference in their lives every day.
Practice with a Purpose
An Affordable Dentures practice offers a unique business model, but it is also a mission. You will work in a practice that is primarily oriented to serving low-income and elderly patients, with services focused on removable prosthetics, tooth extractions, and minimally invasive implants.
While total tooth loss is declining, there is a wide disparity among socio-economic groups. Lower-income individuals continue to suffer disproportionately. This patient population has been vastly underserved, largely because of the cost of treatment in traditional general dentistry practices. In addition, more than 45 million Americans currently wear some type of removable prosthesis, and recent studies have found that the average denture is over 15 years old. By offering a less expensive option, Affordable Dentures practices are reaching out to meet the needs of this deserving and appreciative patient population.
