Dental Assistant

Hey you. You're the behind-the-scenes hero. The calm in the storm. The one who preps the room, comforts the patient, supports the doc, and keeps everything moving like clockwork. If you're looking for a place where your work actually matters, where your input is respected, and your team has your back — we wrote this for you.

What You'll Love About Us:

A dentist who listens and includes you in decisions Long weekends every week — we work smart, not burned-out Healthcare coverage - we want you to be healthy and have a safety net so we have 3 plans to choose from and cover 75% of your premium Teammates who actually show up, help out, and laugh together Patients who trust us and return again and again No micromanaging, no chaos — just good systems and good people Who We Are We're a small, privately owned dental practice — not corporate, not production obsessed, and not revolving-door dentistry. Many of our patients have been coming here for decades, and that didn't happen by accident. It happened because we care deeply about people, take pride in our work, and believe trust is built through consistency, honesty, and great care. We invest in technology that actually improves the patient experience and the team's day-to-day work — including CEREC same-day crowns, CBCT imaging, and iTero scanning— while still keeping a calm, human, relationship-first environment.

What We're Looking For:

We want someone who's proactive, dependable, and makes patients feel safe and seen. Someone who can juggle, anticipate, and communicate — all without breaking a sweat. You'll need: Dental assisting experience (1+ year preferred) Current x-ray license Current BLS/CPR certification Ability to work 4 days/week (Mon-Thur) Comfort using digital systems (we use Dentrix) Willingness to grow, speak up, and own your zone What's In It for You? $20-$28/hour (based on experience) 4-day workweek = 3-day weekends every week Mentorship and growth opportunities Team lunches, birthday perks, and zero toxic vibes This Is NOT the Right Fit If... You disappear when things get busy You hate giving input or getting feedback You treat patients like problems, not people You say "that's not my job" more than "I got it" You roll your eyes when someone needs a little emotional support You're looking for a job where you clock in, clock out, and stay disengaged — this isn't that place What to Expect in Our Hiring Process We believe in radical transparency . So, here's the process: A short, friendly 15-min call with our Office Manager A quick in-person hangout with the doc Engaging interview questions like: "What's open on your browser tabs right now?" "What do we need to do so you love coming to work?" "When do you feel the most proud at work?"
