Job Description

Dental Assistant | 4-Day Week, No Evenings or Weekends | Biological Dental Office in Watkinsville

Tired of assisting on drill-and-fill, one patient after another, with no time to truly care?

At TLC Dental Wellness, we do dentistry differently. We see the mouth as part of the whole body. We look for the root cause, not just the cavity. We take time with every patient. And we close our doors on Mondays so you have a real life outside of work.

What your days look like:

• Assist Dr. Mathew, a prosthodontist with 26 years of experience, on fillings, crowns, implants, veneers, and full smile makeovers.
• Learn skills most assistants never get to touch: ozone therapy, SMART safe mercury filling removal, PRF healing, and biological gum disinfection.
• Help anxious patients feel safe, including during sedation visits.
• Take X-rays, set up and turn over rooms, sterilize, and keep the day flowing.
• Coach patients on simple homecare habits. You're not just a pair of hands. You're part of their health team.

• Your schedule:
• Tuesday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm. Friday, 8am to 3pm.
• No evenings. No weekends. Occasional Mondays.

What you get:

• Pay: $20 to $26 per hour, based on experience.
• Paid vacation, paid sick days, and paid holidays.
• Paid continuing education, including training in biological dentistry
• Free dental care.
• A small team of 6, where your ideas get heard.
• A calm, spa-like office where patients actually look forward to coming in.

You'll love it here if you:

• Have [2+] years of chairside experience.
• Hold your Georgia radiology certification and CPR (Expanded Duties is a plus).
• Are curious about how food, sleep, breathing, and stress show up in the mouth.
• Love to learn and ask "why?"
• Stay kind and steady, even on a busy day.

This is not the job for you if you want to clock in, hold the suction, and clock out. We want someone who wants to grow.
