Pay:
$30-$40/hour DOE |
Schedule:
Four-day workweek; no evenings |
Required:
iTero scans, attachment placement, and clinical notes This is not a basic chairside position. Calabasas Dental Spa is a boutique, one-doctor practice using iTero for Invisalign and clear-aligner treatment, PrimeScan for same-day crowns, and a detailed digital clinical workflow. We need an experienced assistant who can own the process around each case - from the scan and patient conversation to treatment-plan entry, clinical notes, supplies, and equipment - while Dr. Baker diagnoses and directs care.
NON-NEGOTIABLE CLINICAL SKILLS
Complete accurate iTero scans, including full arches, bite capture, rescanning, and troubleshooting incomplete scan data. Place Invisalign and clear-aligner attachments accurately under the doctor's direction and support aligner delivery and progress appointments. Walk patients through what is visible on the iTero scan in clear, non-diagnostic language, reinforce the doctor's findings, and explain the next step with confidence. Create complete, accurate clinical notes in real time and finish documentation before the patient leaves whenever possible. Enter treatment-plan procedures and supporting details as Dr. Baker diagnoses and dictates; Dentrix Ascend experience is a strong plus.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Prepare for and assist with PrimeScan/CEREC same-day crowns, restorative procedures, and clear-aligner visits. Support case acceptance by completing scans promptly, explaining images clearly, and reinforcing treatment sequence and timing. Take quality digital radiographs, Panoramic and CBCT scans. Keep treatment rooms, sterilization areas, counters, cabinets, and shared clinical spaces clean, organized, stocked, and ready. Monitor inventory, check expiration dates, prepare supply orders, and prevent last-minute shortages. Maintain dental equipment, complete routine care and cleaning, monitor waterlines, keep service records, and report problems promptly.
QUALIFICATIONS
Substantial chairside dental-assisting experience; RDA preferred. Hands-on iTero scanning and orthodontic attachment experience are required. PrimeScan/CEREC experience is strongly preferred; Dentrix Ascend knowledge is a plus. Current California credentials for assigned duties, including dental radiography, plus current CPR/BLS as applicable. Proactive, organized, articulate, and able to anticipate what the dentist and patient will need next. Apply through Indeed with your resume and a brief summary of your iTero, attachment placement, clinical notes, and PrimeScan/CEREC experience.
