Smile Finders offers referrals for General and Cosmetic Dentistry, Orthodontics (Braces), Periodontics (Gum Disease), Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy), Oral Surgery (Dental Implants and Wisdom Teeth) and Pedodontics (Children's Dental Specialist).

Our dental affiliate owns and operates many PREMIER dental facilities under different names in the Greater Los Angeles area. We are a company in growth and we are looking for qualified, team-oriented people to promote the importance of routine dental health care and our business. We have over 45 years of collective management experience. Our offices are all beautifully appointed with state-of-the-art technology, including digital radiography. While our offices are very busy, we do not operate like a clinic. We desire to attract and retain quality-oriented staff that have excellent work ethic and communication skills. We pride ourselves on being ethical, consistent and dedicated.

Job Description

Job Requirements:

1. We seek people who have at least five years of progressive management experience in a dental facility. This position is for a "working manager". You will not only lead the team in its daily activities and toward monthly collection and production goals, but you will also be responsible for certain tasks. You will lead approximately 5 front office staff members and 7 back office dental assistants, plus a treatment counselor. Our facilities are approximately 60% PPO, 35% HMO, and 5% cash.
2. Your management style must be task and goal oriented. You will need to closely monitor that job functions are being worked efficiently and productively. You will need to be a firm leader and adhere to company procedures and policies.
3. You will not be the designated treatment counselor, but may need to operate on a fill-in basis. You will need to ensure that patient flow is handled such that patients are not waiting too long before seeing the Dentist. You will assist in problem-solving all patient complaints on a timely basis as we must ensure that we are responsive and attentive in sensitive patient relation issues. You must be able to communicate with a wide breadth of people: Dentists, Managed Care Representatives, patients of all walks of life, and a multi-cultural staff and public. The ability to speak Spanish is a plus for this position, but not required.
4. As a manager of a thriving business, we want you to take pride of "ownership" and take charge to ensure things run smoothly and that we accomplish financial goals. You have bottom line responsibility for your office. Our responsibility is to provide you with all the tools and resources necessary to accomplish these objectives.
5. Some evening and some Saturdays are required. We offer a competitive salary and incentive structure, medical and dental benefits, and are working on additional group benefits. Salary is dependent upon experience, number of facilities under management, and your ability to drive the business. Serious applicants who desire long-term employment need only apply.

Qualifications

1. At least 5 years dental management experience
2. 1-3 years dental treatment coordinating experience (Indemnity, PPO, HMO)
3. Knowledge of dental billing
4. Working knowledge of Microsoft Suite
5. Self-motivated and ambitious attitude
