Lead Dental Assistant

LEAD DENTAL ASSISTANT  

POSITION SUMMARY

We are looking for a Lead Dental Assistant who is ready to step into real leadership, help build a stronger clinical team, and grow with a fast-moving, high-performance practice.

At Restoration Dental, this role is more than assisting chairside. It is a leadership position for someone who can help keep the back team organized, support doctors at a high level, coach and develop other assistants, and drive excellence in the day-to-day clinical flow.

We are growing quickly and continuously improving how we operate, so we are looking for someone who has an open mind to learning new systems, new technology, and better ways of doing things. The right person is calm under pressure, highly accountable, team-oriented, and excited by the opportunity to grow into a key clinical leader within the practice.

ABOUT RESTORATION DENTAL

We’re on a mission to transform one million smiles — and we’re just getting started.

We’ve built one of the most advanced and trusted dental organizations in the region — where cutting-edge technology, world-class clinical care, and an unmatched patient experience all exist under one roof. From complex implant cases to complete smile transformations, we deliver results that speak for themselves.

But what truly sets us apart is our people. We’re not just building a great practice — we’re building an elite team of clinicians and leaders who are disciplined, accountable, and deeply passionate about making a difference. We grow together, we lead with heart, and we never settle for average.

Our core values — Inspirational, Disciplined, Accountable, Excellence, Alignment, and Results-Oriented — aren’t words on a wall. They’re how we operate, how we treat our patients, and how we show up for each other every day.
