Job Description

Dental Front Desk Lead Sandia View Family Dental Rio Rancho, NM Job Details $25 - $30 an hour 1 day ago Qualifications Customer communication Full Job Description We're looking for someone exceptional to join our team. I've built Sandia View Family Dental to be a place where great people can do great work, take care of patients, and actually enjoy coming to work. We're a privately owned, growing practice with a strong team culture, modern technology, high clinical standards, and a genuine commitment to our patients and our community. Our Front Office Lead is a BIG part of that experience. You'll be one of the faces and voices of our practice—welcoming patients with a smile, keeping the front office running smoothly, coordinating treatment and implant consultations, communicating with patients, and working closely with me, our office manager, and our clinical team. I'm looking for someone who is warm, confident, polished, organized, proactive, and naturally great with people. Someone who takes ownership, communicates exceptionally well, stays calm when things get busy, and brings positive energy to the team. We believe exceptional people deserve to be valued and compensated accordingly. We offer competitive compensation because we're not looking for someone to simply fill a position—we're looking for the right person to become an important part of our team. If you're someone who loves people, takes pride in doing things well, and wants to be part of a practice that is serious about excellence but still loves to have fun, I want to meet you.
Compensation:
$25 - $30 hourly
Responsibilities:
Welcome patients, manage check-in/check-out, and ensure every patient feels cared for from the moment they walk through the door. Own the daily schedule and patient communication, including scheduling, confirmations, cancellations, voicemails, emails, texts, and new patient inquiries. Coordinate new patient and implant consultations, working closely with our marketing agency to schedule and follow up appropriately. Help coordinate treatment and financial arrangements, including treatment plans, insurance, financing, and payments. Proactively contact patients to fill openings and maximize the daily schedule. Partner with Dr. Chris, the clinical team, and administrative staff to keep daily operations running smoothly. Help support the front office team with positive energy, strong communication, accountability, and a genuine commitment to creating an excellent patient experience.
Qualifications:
2+ years of dental front office experience preferred, with experience in scheduling, insurance, treatment coordination, and patient communication. Exceptional communication skills with a warm, confident speaking voice and the ability to make patients feel genuinely welcome and cared for. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail , with the ability to manage multiple priorities without letting things fall through the cracks. Proactive, dependable, and accountable —someone who sees what needs to be done and takes ownership without always being asked. Comfortable discussing treatment and financial options with patients in a confident, compassionate, and non-pressured way. A genuine desire to grow, learn, and contribute to a high-performing practice that values excellence, teamwork, and an excellent patient experience. About Company I'm a private practice dentist who believes that the right team can make all the difference. At Sandia View Family Dental, we provide comprehensive family and restorative dentistry, including implants and advanced restorative care, using modern technology and a high level of clinical care. But technology isn't what makes our practice special—our people do. I have high standards, and I care deeply about my patients and my team. I'm looking for someone who takes pride in their work, cares about people, wants to keep growing, and is willing to give their best every day. We're building something special here, and I want the right person to be part of it. If you're looking for a place where excellence, teamwork, integrity, and an excellent patient experience actually matter, I'd love to meet you.
