Would you like to work in an office where you are valued and enjoy coming to work everyday? We might just be the right office for you!
Some things about us? We are a 2 dentist office (1 dentist a day - alternating days), looking for an experienced dental assistant who will make the dentist’s office more efficient and pleasant for patients. We would require the usual duties of a dental assistant - assisting the doctor, taking radiographs, sterilizing instruments, patient education, etc. Along with - tracking lab cases, maintenance of the auto clave, assisting with complicated procedures, and helping with some front desk duties. You’ll ensure excellent customer service and lift administrative and basic dental tasks off the dentist’s shoulders. Dental assistants should be well-organized with great attention to detail. We want you to be skilled in providing direct or indirect patient care and able to make office procedures as smooth as possible.
Both dentists are General Dentists that perform most dental procedures, including root canals and large aesthetic cases.
Our office hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30am to 4pm (first patient at 8am) and a designated lunchtime from 12pm to 12:30pm everyday. We respect our employees and their personal time, and we will never ask you to stay late. Quality of life is very important to us and we strive for the happiness of our employees. And that means NO WORK Friday, Saturday or Sunday!
