JOIN A DENTAL TEAM WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

4-Day Work Week | Privately Owned Practice | Growth-Focused Team

Are you the type of dental assistant who takes initiative, anticipates needs before being asked, and loves helping patients say "yes" to treatment that improves their health and confidence?

If so, we may be the team you've been looking for.

We are a privately owned, patient-centered dental practice committed to exceptional dentistry, outstanding customer service, and creating an experience that patients genuinely appreciate. We are looking for an experienced dental assistant who wants to be more than a "chairside assistant" and become an essential part of the patient's journey.

In our office, assistants are trusted, respected, and actively involved in patient care, treatment discussions, and helping patients move forward with the dentistry they need.

What Makes Our Office Different?
  • Four-day work week (approximately 32 hours).
  • Privately owned practice with strong leadership.
  • Positive, professional, drama-free culture.
  • Team members who support one another.
  • Modern dentistry with a focus on quality care.
  • Opportunity to learn, grow, and take on greater responsibility.
  • Ongoing training in communication and patient experience.
  • You are valued as a key member of the treatment team.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Skilled four-handed chairside assisting.
  • Anticipating doctor and patient needs.
  • Supporting treatment plan discussions and patient education.
  • Reinforcing recommendations and helping patients feel comfortable with treatment decisions.
  • Communicating effectively with patients and team members.
  • Maintaining organized operatories and clinical systems.
  • Contributing to a smooth, efficient patient experience.

Who Thrives Here:
  • Experienced dental assistants (2+ years preferred)
  • Strong communicators who genuinely enjoy helping people.
  • Individuals who take ownership and solve problems.
  • Team players with a positive attitude.
  • Professionals who want to continue learning and growing.
  • EFDA certification or advanced clinical skills are a plus.

Compensation & Benefits:
  • $20-$30 per hour (based on experience).
  • Paid Time Off.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Employee dental benefits.
  • Fun culture.

If you're looking for a long-term home where your contributions matter and your growth is encouraged, we'd love to meet you.
