Job description

FULL TIME/PART TIME DENTAL ASSISTANT

Tech Driven Practice.

For more than 40 years, our practice has been part of the Lewis County community, caring for generations of families with a personal touch. Today, we’re proud to continue that tradition with Dr. Duong Ly leading our team.

At Twin City Smiles, we believe dentistry is about more than healthy teeth—it’s about building trust and creating lasting relationships. We’re grateful for the confidence our patients place in us, and we work hard every day to provide gentle, high-quality care that helps you and your family live healthier, happier lives.

Giving back has always been close to our hearts. From providing dental education and screenings in local schools, to volunteering with the Smile Mobile, donating oral health packs to Kidz Closet and Head Start, and supporting local kids through 4H, sports, and the arts—we’re honored to serve our community both inside and outside the office.

Centralia is our home, and we’re here to keep it smiling. Welcome to our family—we can’t wait to care for yours.
