Absolute Dental

Please stray from applying here. The only position to hold here to not lose yourself is being a Dental Assistant, if you're a great one, the providers will protect you from the tyrant leaders of the company. But even that has it limitations. This company is draining and makes you question labor laws and insurance billing that's meeting state regulations. Administrative teams are used and abused with horrid pay. If you ask for a raise you put a target on your back and you're next to be replaced if not, you're provided expectations that are not feasible. ZERO, and I mean ZERO work-life balance, this is not an exaggeration. Managers working 50-60 hour weeks, never compensated for overtime and if you call out sick, you lose pay entirely for that day, even though you work more than 40 hours that week. Favoritism will guarantee pay on your sick day though, favoritism involving family relationships for even friendly relationships with upper management will help keep you safe.

 More than half the regionals lack communication, literacy, respect, compassion, integrity, and can tell you what to do but have no idea how to do it themselves… I understand that companies are production driven, but theses goals are being hit by any means necessary out of fear of not meeting expectations. Always ask for an itemized receipt, always question adjustments and always coordinate with insurances for items not billed and created office codes. Leaders are inconsistent with their promises, never providing promised raise, never honoring promised schedules, and never living up to the core values Absolute Dental proudly and shamefully preach. 

Please move on. Sometimes youre lucky and hired under a manager that actually appreciates you. But eventually play puppets to their puppeteer and get yoy out if you were hired too high, or yourr not meeting expectations quick enough.

A little worried about posting this because they go on a witch hunt trying to find who spoke up. 

I have had the absolute pleasure of working at Absolute Dental, and I can confidently say that it's more than just a workplace—it's a family. From day one, I felt welcomed and valued, and my experience here has been nothing short of amazing. One of the standout aspects of Absolute Dental is the incredible team. The support among colleagues create a positive and motivating atmosphere. The collaborative spirit makes every day enjoyable, and it's clear that everyone is dedicated to the success of the team and the well-being of each member. It's refreshing to be part of an organization that values open communication, innovative thinking, and a strong work ethic. The leadership fosters an environment where ideas are not only heard but also implemented, creating a dynamic and forward-thinking workplace. In conclusion, working at Absolute Dental has been a transformative experience for me. The supportive environment, dedication to personal and professional growth, and the genuine care for both employees and patients make it an outstanding place to work. I am proud to be a part of the Absolute Dental family and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fulfilling and rewarding career in the dental field.

One of the greatest things about Absolute Dental are people you work with; co-workers and patients. There are a lot of pros to this company for one is that you will always get paid on time, you also get PTO. They always try to work with you. They offer benefits and a 401k. All the leads and management I've seen are some of the best. From the managers, to the leads, to the RDOs. They're always working hard and are always striving for the best. My leads and manager are incredible. They have structure, they give us manageable goals, and always have answers to my questions. I enjoy what I do as an insurance collection specialist. Management and that's including the CEO make it clear to all the employees that they have an open door policy. Anyone can go and talk to them if they have any problems, suggestions, or ideas. I find that to be a pro; a company that values you and your ideas.  It's a great company to work for. The business model is great, I've learned so much about dentistry and business courtesy of Absolute Dental. When someone asks me whom I work for I can declare with pride that I work for Absolute Dental. I think of the core values we have and practice. This company has treated me so well. The company shows us we're appreciated. Also, a huge bonus, the Christmas party. They're EPIC!

You will be expected to do your job, you will be told at your interview your roll in the office and the importance of being efficient. They do not do the bait and hook ( an example would be any job interview you went to that they said anything you wanted to hear to get you to hire on, then once you are there you see they have no intentions of doing what they said).  They compensate you well for your hard work. 

 If you have good work ethic it doesn’t go unnoticed, you can move up quickly but don’t expect to cut corners and get promoted.

 Honestly, if I was not in an auto accident that affected my ability to drive to multiple offices, I would still be there. I have no doubt I would be on the track to move up, because I did my job, that’s all it takes, do your job and they will have your back.

 I’m writing this review because I work at another large Dental group but switched to front office ,  (I was back office previously in oral/perio area).  There is no way to even describe how stark of a contrast it. The grass is not greener on the other side!

 That all said,  I highly recommend trying to work here, if you want to work and move up you will. 

Absolute Dental is the worst company I’ve ever worked for. The way that they operate is incredibly inefficient. They make corporate decisions to make it as hard as possible to work smart. The expectations are out of touch with reality and forces offices to understaff which causes extremely long wait times for patients. It’s frustrating and embarrassing to be put in that position. Patients get angry and we get yelled at often. Billing is a nightmare. Physical charts are so outdated and gross. The staff is grossly underpaid and the medical benefits are so expensive that most hourly staff struggle to pay for it or don’t enroll at all. Absolute Dental is constantly saying one thing and then changing their minds at the last minute which is so frustrating. The amount of paper that is used at this company is unbelievably wasteful. But on the bright side, the turnover is so high at Absolute Dental which makes advancement a reality and something that happens pretty quickly. But be prepared to work hard and be grossly underpaid. Another note - corporate leaders and upper management are terrible, but most office managers and staff are great!!

Working at this company as a newcomer in the dental field can be challenging. Depending on the department, you are required to complete a 2- to 6-week training period at their training center. Unfortunately, the support during this period is minimal, and you may feel discouraged if you ask questions or need assistance. Many people struggle to complete the training, and if you do make it through, you're likely to be placed in an understaffed office.

While management and supervisors may express concern for your success, the focus often seems more on company profits rather than employee development. Despite claims of upward mobility, promotions are infrequent, and when they do occur, additional responsibilities are added without corresponding compensation. Raises are rare, and there is a cap on pay rates at each location, typically maxing out around $18 per hour. For a company with 48 locations, there is room for significant improvement in how they support and reward their staff.

This company is full it. First I will start with the work environment. Undertrained staff at the front desk which only caused chaos for the back office due to how busy the office was. Patients are sent through the office like a factory. Second the benefits are not even worth it. Personally alot of offices or corporations offer benefits but if the 401k is essentially a savings account and they do not contribute to it then it is not worth it. As did this corporation. Third scheduling vacation time even a year out is difficult. Lastly some of the doctors are very rude and unprofessional towards the staff. One office in particular was actually dangerous to work at. A patient pulled a gun out on the receptionist as well as a patient hiding from the police in the office. The police were actually searching the office as i was working on a patient. They actually focus and cater more towards the doctors in this company which is ok but the doctor can not function on thier own. There is other staff that support the doctor daily and should be considered as well.

A typical day at Absolute Dental for me started with getting the operatories ready for patients, restocking supplies and getting ready for the day. I have helped the doctors with exams and explain treatment plans to patients. I have constantly communicated with front office managers concerning treatment plans for patients. i have acquired many technical skills in dental assisting. Management was good but during rush hours communication was lost between the staff. Doctors were overbooked at times and less experienced doctors became overwhelmed with the work. Dealing with short tempers from doctors, patients and staff was to me the hardest part of the day but the most enjoyable part of the day is when rush hour calmed down and the last few patients that were left i was able to show more concern and sincerity making their long exhausting day in the reception area an enjoyable experience in the end.

Been at absolute dental for almost 20 years I have learn a lot from not only how this company has grown but how you can grow as a person and as a professional. I have worked in different companies before and this is one of the most stable environments to work for . Yes, there is issues within the company but I believe most of them are from people who do not wish to grow nor learn . We can always look at the cup of water half empty but if we choose to look at the cup half full we could be better and better every day . 
This company has a ton of talent , this company has open the doors for new talent from doctors to assistants than have grown in their careers thanks to all the people that work at absolute dental. 
Overall , I thank God every day for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful people who cares about other human beings . 

I have been working for this company for almost 5 months now and here are some of the benefits that I see working here at Absolute Dental. My managers and team leads are very compassionate and willing to teach. When I first started, there were some concepts that I struggled with and the support I was given from my superiors was phenomenal. I feel that I am fairly compensated for all of the work that I do, which is very important to me as a single mother. It is comforting to know that I am supported not only in my work here, but also in my finances. Among these benefits are good medical coverage, my PTO accrual rate is much higher than anywhere I've ever worked, discount rates at certain retailers just by being an employee, etc. I am happy that I am at Absolute Dental, and I look forward to building my career with this amazing company.
