Position Overview

We are looking for a friendly, reliable, and experienced Dental Assistant to join our growing dental team. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, professional, and passionate about providing excellent patient care. As a key member of our clinical team, you will assist the dentist during a wide range of procedures, including restorative, endodontic, surgical, and emergency treatments. Your responsibilities will include preparing and setting up treatment rooms before and after procedures, taking and developing digital dental X-rays, and assisting with impressions, scans, and other laboratory procedures. You will also prepare and sterilize instruments, maintain proper infection-control protocols, and ensure the operatory remains clean, organized, and well-stocked at all times. In this role, you will provide patients with clear pre- and post-operative instructions, assist with charting, clinical documentation, and treatment notes, and help ensure a smooth and efficient patient flow throughout the day. Supporting both the dentist and hygienist as needed, you will communicate with patients in a professional and compassionate manner while following all applicable infection-control, health and safety, and workplace protocols. Additional clinical and administrative duties may be required as the role evolves. The ideal candidate will hold a Dental Assisting certification (preferred) and a valid HARP certification (required), along with previous dental assisting experience. A solid understanding of dental terminology, procedures, and infection-control standards is essential. Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills are a must, as is the ability to multitask effectively in a busy dental environment. Experience with Open Dental software is considered a valuable asset. We are proud to offer a friendly and supportive team environment where you will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced dental professionals, grow your skills, and advance your career.
