We are a single-doctor, privately owned practice with a genuine family feel. We are small, close-knit, and growing thoughtfully. Our patients are treated like people, not numbers - and our team is treated the same way. We pair that family-practice character with modern, up-to-date technology so our team can do their best work and our patients get an excellent experience.

• Educate and guide patients on appliance care, oral hygiene, and what to expect at each stage of treatment.
• Support the doctor and team with patient flow, scheduling handoffs, and clinical documentation in our practice-management software.
• Help create a warm, reassuring experience for patients of all ages.

What We Are Looking For:

Required:

• A caring, dependable, team-oriented attitude.
• Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working with patients.
• Ability to stay organized and calm in a busy clinical setting.

Preferred:

• Prior orthodontic or dental assisting experience.
• Familiarity with digital scanning and dental imaging.
• Current radiology certification and BLS/CPR (or willingness to obtain).
• Bilingual is a plus.

We are happy to train the right person who brings the right attitude .

Schedule: Full-time or part-time. Saturdays are required. Specific days and hours discussed at the interview.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Competitive hourly compensation. 
• Competitive benefits package. 
• Specific details discussed at the in-person interview.
