Dental Assistant – Chicago

We're launching Wally in Chicago, and we're looking for a dental assistant who wants to do more than pass instruments.

Here's the reality: This isn't a traditional assisting role. You won't be chairside with the doctor. You'll lead the diagnostics process, support hygiene care, manage patient flow, and help drive the daily clinical operations of your studio. You'll take X-rays, run 3D scans, manage charting, and be the person who keeps the clinical engine running. At Wally, dental assistants are essential to how care gets delivered, not an afterthought.

And you won't do it alone. You'll work side‑by‑side with hygienists and dentists in a prevention‑first model that values your contributions and gives you real room to grow. Modern tools make your job easier and more impactful. Handheld X-rays, AI imaging, cloud‑based workflows, and 3D scanning that you'll actually get trained on and use every day.

As part of the founding team at our Chicago studio, you'll help shape how the location runs from day one. This is a ground‑floor opportunity for someone who wants ownership over their role, not just a set of tasks.

The Setup

• Competitive hourly pay


• Modern tech you'll actually use: handheld X-rays, 3D scanning, AI imaging, digital workflows


• Opportunity to launch Wally in Philadelphia, meaning overship & agency in your role

What You'll Do

• Lead the diagnostics workflow: digital X-rays, 3D scanning, vitals, and charting


• Support hygiene and doctor teams to ensure smooth, efficient patient care


• Help patients feel confident and informed at every visit


• Manage the systems that power your studio's daily clinical success


• Play a key role in launching and optimizing a brand-new Wally location

Who We're Looking For

• Radiology-trained DA


• Organized, adaptable, and confident in a fast‑paced clinical setting


• Clear communicator and team player


• Someone excited to take on real responsibility and grow with a modern practice

Pay: $25.00 - $28.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
