The Opportunity $16/hr on Day 1, no dental experience required — and a written career pay ladder that reaches $25/hr as a Lead Assistant, with a sponsored pathway to OPA and EFDA credentials beyond that. We are opening new practices across Arizona, in smaller communities throughout the state, built on a hire-for-attitude, train-on-the-clock model most practices don't run. Compensation $16/hr on Day 1, W-2 — paid from your first day of training, every hour on the clock, no tuition, no student debt. A written career pay ladder rewards each new certification and skill sign-off, reaching $25/hr as a Lead Dental Assistant. Sponsored external credentials (OPA and EFDA) extend the ladder further in exchange for a signed service commitment.
Disclaimer:
Final compensation determined by the candidate's experience, skills, and qualifications, discussed at interview. Built to Actually Train You Most practices say they'll train you and don't. This one has a curriculum, a written checklist for every skill, and a career ladder that ties every certification to a real, published pay raise. The dentists coach you at chairside. The lead assistant runs your daily huddles. You start on sterilization and basic chairside, and by the time you clear Lead you've handled four-handed dentistry, radiography, coronal polishing, scanning, temporization, endo and implant assisting, and CAD/CAM milling. Who This Suits Someone reliable, hard-working, and good with people who wants a real healthcare career without going into debt for it. Someone who lives in or near a smaller Arizona community and wants to stay there. Someone who takes a written pay ladder seriously — this job rewards effort with clarity, not with performance-review roulette. No dental background needed. Attitude and follow-through matter more than a resume. Requirements High school diploma or equivalent. Reliable transportation. Willing to be on your feet, hands-on with patients, and around clinical instruments all day. Comfortable learning on the clock — this is a real curriculum, not a shadow-and-hope role. New to dental welcome — that's the design. Location Growing communities across Arizona — new locations opening on an ongoing basis. Assistants who join get first look at options as the group expands
