Bring Your Skills: Optimize Provider Performance and Elevate Patient Care

Are you a skilled Registered Dental Assistant ready to make an immediate impact on our clinical team? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your precision, speed, and bedside manner directly influence production and patient retention?

Innovate32 is seeking a confident Registered Dental Assistant I with 1–2 years of experience to join our dynamic team. We are looking for a clinician who understands how to maximize efficiency through four-handed dentistry, manage complex imaging workflows, and ensure seamless patient flow. If you have a strong foundation in infection control, digital radiography, and pediatric engagement, your contributions will be vital to our daily success.

This is an opportunity for a professional who understands that their role is not just to assist, but to drive operational excellence and ensure every patient leaves feeling cared for and informed. You will be equipped with the right tools and support systems to apply your expertise effectively from day one.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Immediate Impact: Your expertise in four-handed dentistry and sterilization directly maximizes provider productivity, reduces chair turnover time, and increases daily case volume.
• Technical Proficiency: Utilize your current skills with digital X-rays, 3D scans, and EMR systems (Eaglesoft/Dentrix) to deliver high-quality diagnostics and accurate record-keeping within our established workflow.
• Patient-Centric Results: Your ability to engage pediatric patients and explain procedures clearly builds trust, improves case acceptance, and fosters long-term patient loyalty.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Earn competitive pay ($12–$16/hr.) while enjoying health/vision/life insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and continuing education credits that reward your ongoing commitment to excellence.
• High-Performance Culture: Join a team that values reliability, precision, and proactive problem-solving, where your consistent performance helps the practice exceed its goals.

How You Will Contribute

• Maximize Provider Efficiency: Execute advanced four-handed dentistry techniques to optimize procedure speed and comfort, allowing providers to treat more patients safely and effectively.
• Ensure Diagnostic Accuracy: Deliver high-quality dental radiographs and 3D scans using precision equipment, ensuring doctors have the clear data needed for successful treatment planning.
• Maintain Operational Standards: Uphold rigorous infection control and aseptic protocols, guaranteeing a safe clinical environment that protects both patients and staff compliance.
• Drive Patient Confidence: Obtain accurate vital signs and medical histories while engaging patients, especially children, with patience and professionalism to reduce anxiety and improve retention.
• Streamline Practice Workflow: Manage EMR documentation with precision (Eaglesoft/Dentrix Ascend) and support administrative functions like insurance verification to keep the front-to-back office running smoothly.
• Support Team Goals: Collaborate seamlessly with dentists, hygienists, and receptionists to minimize downtime, fill schedule gaps, and ensure a cohesive patient experience.

Who You Are

• The Skilled Clinician: You hold a valid RDA I certification and BLS credential, bringing 1–2 years of proven experience in a busy dental clinic setting.
• The Efficiency Expert: You understand how to anticipate needs, prepare rooms quickly, and manage instrument trays to keep the provider moving without interruption.
• The Tech-Savvy Pro: You are proficient with digital imaging equipment, 3D scanners, and EMR systems, ready to integrate into our specific platforms with our standard onboarding support.
• The Communicator: You possess excellent interpersonal skills, able to explain procedures clearly to patients and collaborate effectively with a diverse clinical team.
• The Reliability Factor: You bring a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to maintain composure and quality during high-volume periods.

Education & Qualifications

Required:

• Valid certification as a Registered Dental Assistant I.
• Current BLS (Basic Life Support) certification.
• 1–2 years of experience working in a dental clinic environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency in infection control practices, aseptic technique, and general dentistry procedures.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with EMR systems such as Dentrix Ascend or Eaglesoft.
• Experience operating dental imaging equipment including X-ray machines and 3D scanners with precision.
• Strong understanding of dental terminology and pediatric patient management.

Compensation & Benefits

Hourly Rate: $18.00 - $26.00 per hour (commensurate with experience)

Retirement: 401(k) plan with company options

Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, vision, and life insurance

Time Off: Paid time off and holidays

Growth: Continuing education credits to maintain your licensure and expertise

Environment: In-person role within a supportive, high-performing dental practice
