Job description

A good assistant makes the dentist faster and the patient calmer at the same time.

You will work chairside through restorative, surgical, and emergency days — setting up, taking radiographs and impressions, anticipating the next instrument before it is asked for, and keeping the person in the chair informed about what is happening and why.

We keep the operatories properly equipped and replace what slows you down, because an assistant fighting the equipment cannot look after the patient.

What you'll do

• Set up and break down operatories, sterilize instruments, and have the tray ready before the doctor sits down.
• Assist chairside through restorative, surgical, and emergency procedures using four-handed technique.
• Take digital radiographs, intraoral photos, and impressions or digital scans as directed.
• Pour models, fabricate temporaries, and perform expanded functions permitted by your credentials.
• Give post-operative instructions in plain language and answer the questions patients are too polite to ask the doctor.
• Maintain infection control, sterilization logs, and operatory stock to OSHA and CDC standards.

What we're looking for

• Dental assisting credential and radiography certification as required by North Carolina.
• Current CPR/BLS certification.
• Steady hands, a strong stomach, and genuine patience with anxious patients.
• Able to keep pace through a full day without cutting a corner on sterilization.
• Chairside experience preferred; we will happily consider a recent graduate who interviews well.

What we offer

• Competitive pay, reviewed annually and benchmarked above local market rates.
• Sign-on bonus and referral bonus.
• Paid time off.
• Health insurance coverage.
• Paid gym membership for you and your family.
• Year-end bonus for performance above target.
• Continuing education and certification renewals paid for.
