Join Our Team Where Advanced Dentistry Meets Exceptional Patient Care
Dentistry of Uptown Charlotte is a boutique, technology-driven dental practice located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. Our office focuses on delivering highly personalized, comprehensive care using advanced digital technology in a relationship-focused environment.
We are currently seeking a Dental Assistant to serve as our sole clinical assistant, working closely with the doctor in a small, high-performing team.
