Full Time Dental Assistant

Outer Banks Integrative Dentistry We moved into a beautiful brand new space just a couple months ago and we are looking for another Dental Assistant to join our team! Dr. J Trahey Maner has been practicing on the Outer Banks for 23 years. Dr. H Hatcher Shiflet joined the practice in 2023. With our move to the new location, and in an effort to encompass both doctors as well as the passion for our approach to care, we have transitioned to the new name - Outer Banks Integrative Dentistry. Work Environment Newly designed operatories with great natural lighting provide a pleasant work environment. Thoughtfully, organized sterilization and storage areas provide for efficiency and ease within the Dental Assistant's role. Position Description With the two doctors working full schedules, we could really benefit from another assistant. While this position is mostly clinical/chair-side, front office experience or willingness to learn some business office tasks is an added bonus. While our office is a general family dental practice treating adults and children, we have expanded our focus in the last several years to encompass some orthodontic and airway-focused treatment. We refer to specialists for most endodontic and periodontal services. Skills and characteristics we are looking for in a
