Job description Experienced Dental Assistant (Modern, Patient-Focused Practice) $3000 hiring bonus! Are you a skilled, motivated, and detail-oriented dental assistant who's ready for something different? Would you love to work in a calm, upscale, and patient-focused environment — one that values your contribution, your time, and your growth? At Coastal Smile Design , we're not your typical dental office. We're a boutique private practice providing advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry in a setting that emphasizes quality, relationships, and excellence. Our patients value their experience here, and we value the people who make that experience possible. We're looking for an exceptional dental assistant to join our team — someone who takes pride in doing things beautifully, not just quickly.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

Truly boutique environment: You'll work directly alongside one doctor in a calm, organized, and aesthetically pleasing setting — no corporate chaos or high-volume stress.

Professional respect:

You'll be treated as a true partner in patient care and an essential part of the practice's success.

Generous time off:

At least four weeks of paid vacation annually — because we believe work-life balance creates better teams and better care.

Excellent compensation:

Competitive pay for the right professional who brings skill, initiative, and integrity.

Growth and learning:

You'll have opportunities to expand your knowledge in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, patient care, and customer service.

Positive culture:

Our patients feel cared for because our team does. We maintain a supportive, kind, and professional environment where everyone's contribution matters.

What We're Looking For:

Chairside excellence: Experience assisting with restorative and cosmetic procedures preferred.

Strong organizational skills:

Ability to anticipate, plan, and keep the day running smoothly.

Emotional intelligence:

A calm, confident, and caring presence for patients.

Attention to detail:

Pride in clinical precision and patient comfort.

Exceptional communication skills:

Confident and articulate when dealing with patients.

Reliability and integrity:

You show up, follow through, and take initiative.

Adaptability:

Comfortable learning new technologies and protocols. Prior experience in a private dental setting is a plus, especially with complex care, but we're open to a highly capable candidate who shares our values and commitment to excellence. Minimum requirements are a Virginia X-ray certification and 1 year of dental assisting experience.
