Job Description

The Opportunity $25/hr — the top of a written career pay ladder — with a sponsored pathway beyond that to OPA and EFDA credentials. We are opening new practices across Arizona, in smaller communities throughout the state, built on a care team model that puts the lead assistant at the center of clinical flow. Compensation $25/hr, W-2, at the Elite Base of the in-house career ladder. Sponsored pathway to OPA and EFDA credentials beyond that in exchange for a signed service commitment.
Disclaimer:
Final compensation determined by the candidate's experience, skills, and qualifications, discussed at interview. Built for Real Clinical Leadership The lead assistant is not just the most experienced person in the room. This role runs chairside for the dentist across the care team's four operatories, trains the Tier 1 dental assistants coming up the ladder, and owns the pace at which the room turns over between patients. Digital workflow (intraoral scanning, in-house milling, 3D printing), standardized instrument setup across every location, and coaching from senior dentists on specialty procedures — so more scope stays in your hands instead of going out to referral. Who This Suits An experienced assistant who wants to produce at a high level, in a schedule built to stay full and move fast. Someone who wants a real leadership seat — training the next cohort of assistants, running the room, owning the pace. Someone open to working in a smaller Arizona community — underserved, high patient demand, less competition. Someone who wants a written path beyond Lead — sponsored OPA and EFDA credentials that most practices won't touch. Requirements
