We’re looking for a Registered Dental Assistant or Expanded Function Dental Assistant who is dependable, kind, and takes pride in what they do. Someone who stays calm in a fast-paced environment, connects well with patients, and enjoys being part of a team that works hard but also supports each other.

• Keep the day flowing by staying organized and working closely with the team.
• (If EFDA-certified) perform expanded duties as allowed.

What Matters to Us:

• A positive attitude and strong work ethic.
• Being a team player—no job is “not my job” here.
• Reliability and consistency.
• Genuine care for patients and their experience.
• Willingness to learn and grow.

Qualifications:

• Current Registered Dental Assistant certification.
• Radiology certification (is required).
• Dental assisting experience preferred, but personality and attitude matter just as much.
• EFDA certification preferred, not required.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Supportive, team-first environment.
• Patients who feel like family.
• Doctor's and a team who appreciate hard work.
• Opportunities to grow and learn.
• Competitive pay based on experience.
• We are changing lives using technology and education while creating relationships and smiles.
