We are looking for multiple experienced Expanded Function Dental Assistants as we continue to grow in our both locations (it is a requirement to work at both locations - you are never asked to travel from one location to another, but will need to follow the schedule of either location).
Each member of our team genuinely cares about the little heroes who call us their dental home, and that shows in how grateful our patients are to every assistant and doctor who worked with them. We are not a corporate mill, and have a "close-knit family" feel in our office. We have a very heavy emphasis on your work life balance and career growth in this office.
We work with you to ensure our schedule doesn't take away from your life. We are selective in who we hire, but our associates are genuinely happy - because we truly care for them as much as we care for our patients. Our reviews constantly mention how friendly our assistants are, and that is reflective of the environment in the practice. We do require you to be a friendly, professional, and a true team player. Last but not least, this is a pediatric dental office so you must love working with kids!
