Dental Front Office / Hygiene & Marketing Coordinator
Dental Care of Sherwood – Sherwood, OR
Dental Care of Sherwood is looking for a friendly, organized, and motivated Front Office / Hygiene & Marketing Coordinator to join our team. We are especially interested in someone with dental assisting experience and a current Oregon radiologic proficiency certificate who would enjoy combining their clinical knowledge with patient coordination, front-office responsibilities, and practice marketing.
This is a great opportunity for a dental assistant who understands the clinical side of dentistry but enjoys working with patients, organizing schedules, creating systems, and helping a practice grow.
What You'll Do
Hygiene & Patient Coordination
- Manage and maintain a productive hygiene schedule
- Schedule and confirm patient appointments
- Actively work to fill openings and minimize holes in the schedule
- Manage continuing care/recall and reactivate overdue patients
- Help patients understand recommended treatment and next steps
- Coordinate scheduling between hygiene and restorative treatment
Front Office
- Greet and check patients in and out
- Answer phones, texts, and patient questions
- Assist with insurance and other front-office responsibilities as needed
- Communicate closely with the dentist, hygienists, and assistants
- Occasionally assist on the clinical side when appropriate
Marketing & Practice Growth
- Help manage the practice's social media presence and create simple, engaging content
- Keep our online presence and practice information current
- Help encourage and respond to patient reviews
- Develop and maintain patient referral initiatives
- Help create and execute marketing campaigns and promotions
- Assist with photos, videos, educational content, and practice updates
- Track where new patients are coming from and help evaluate which marketing efforts are working
- Identify opportunities to reconnect with inactive patients and patients with unscheduled treatment
- Bring new ideas for community outreach and practice growth
We'd Love Someone Who
- Has dental office experience — dental assisting experience strongly preferred
- Has a current Oregon dental X-ray/radiologic proficiency certificate
- Understands dental terminology, procedures, and treatment flow
- Is comfortable and confident communicating with patients
- Is organized and able to manage multiple priorities
- Takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
- Enjoys social media, marketing, or creative projects
- Is comfortable learning new technology and trying new ideas
- Is dependable, positive, and works well as part of a small team
- Dentrix experience is a plus, but we're happy to train the right person
- Marketing experience is a plus, but definitely not required
