Registered Dental Assistant / RDAEF

Registered Dental Assistant / RDAEF

We are a team of patient-centered professionals whose standard of care consistently exceeds our patient's and referring doctor's expectations for Periodontal, Implant and Esthetic treatment. Our focus is on continual personal and team development to enable us to provide the best healthcare experience for our patients. We're a multispecialty practice - that means we can treat a wide range of dental health concerns under one roof! This provides our patients with consistent care from a team they come to know and trust, and eliminates the need to visit multiple offices, having to explain your treatment needs from scratch each time. At Mid-Peninsula Dental Specialists, we also believe in using the right tools for the job, and we stay on top of developments in dental technology. We work with the state-of-the-art equipment, scanners, and software. The person that we are looking for is a great communicator, self-motivated, reliable, friendly, and possesses excellent people skills with a great attitude.

Registered Dental Assistants are an integral member of our team and help foster our clinically led culture. From being the doctor's right hand, to having the ability to connect with patients, and striving to provide the best patient experience, Dental Assistants are a key contributor to the success of our practice.
