Dental Assistant - Lake Forest Modern Dental

Job Description

Job Description

We are a small private dental office looking for a team member that learn and grow within our office. Open 5 days a week and able to offer great hours and benefits, our office is a great team environment for learning and advancing in your dental assisting career. We are open to hiring a DA or RDA, and some of our best Dental Assistants have come after training them up from little or no experience at all. What we do require is a great attitude, a team player, and someone who loves dentistry and helping people. Professionalism and punctual attendance is critical, as the culture of our office strives to exceed patient's expectations, and we hold each other accountable to keep our standards high.

We are a modern, digitally advanced practice, with 1 General Dentist, a Periodontist, an Endodontist and an Oral Surgeon and an exceptional, dedicated team.
Our ideal candidate has a great attitude, customer service oriented, great assisting skills and knowledgeable of OSHA and HIPAA practices. If you are a team player with an aptitude to create a welcoming, energetic environment for patients and staff and can help smooth the process of our systems on a daily basis, we have a place for you to learn and grow!
We offer Medical and Dental benefits, as well as PTO, to Full-Time employees after their introductory period.

We are located near Irvine in Lake Forest, CA and have had great success in training the right candidates with future interests in Hygiene, Dental School, and/or long term careers in Dental Assisting! Our office has a very friendly family culture and environment, and we are looking to add to our staff since our office continues to grow. Experience is highly preferred, however, personality is even more important for our position. Visit us on Yelp or Google to see what patients have to say about our office and staff. Look forward to hearing from all applicants!
