Our growing private dental practice is looking for an experienced, energetic Dental Assistant to join our team.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in excellent patient care, enjoys working in a high-quality clinical environment, and wants an opportunity to continue growing their skills.

This position will primarily focus on general and restorative dentistry, but our assistants also have the opportunity to assist with implants, extractions, grafting, and other surgical procedures. Previous surgical or implant experience is strongly preferred.

• Able to multitask in a busy environment

• Comfortable thinking ahead and anticipating the doctor's needs

• Dependable and team-oriented

• Patient-experience focused

• Fun, energetic, and team-oriented
