Smile Concierge (Doers Wanted — We’ll Teach the Rest)

What You’ll Walk Into

• A busy orthodontic practice
• A team that moves quickly and expects the same
• A culture where everyone is a leader and earns their spot daily

No experience in orthodontics? That’s okay. We train skills. We don’t train drive.

• Learns by doing, repeating, and getting better every day
• Stays calm and steps up when things get busy
• Helps the team without being asked

This is a hands‑on role where you keep the entire clinic moving.

• Support clinical procedures chairside and behind the scenes
• Prepare, clean, and maintain treatment areas
• Manage sterilization flow (fast, accurate, consistent)
• Keep the clinic stocked, organized, and running smoothly
• Take patient photos/records with efficiency and consistency
• Create a warm, welcoming experience for every patient
• Step in wherever needed—because that’s what great teams do

What We’ll Teach You

• Orthodontic systems and procedures
• Sterilization, infection control, and OSHA standards
• Clinical workflows and efficiency
• Patient communication and service excellence

Non-Negotiables

• You show up on time and ready to move
• You take ownership
• You stay productive (no standing around)
• You accept feedback and improve quickly
• You care about doing things the right way, not the easy way

Who This Is Perfect For

• Someone early in their career who wants real growth, not just a job
• Hospitality or customer service professionals who thrive in fast‑paced environments
• A new or aspiring dental assistant ready to learn quickly
• Someone who wants to be part of a high-performance, accountable team
