Job Description

About Us: Our established, single-doctor private dental practice is looking for an enthusiastic Dental Assistant, ideally an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA), to join our team. We are seeking someone who is dependable, motivated, and passionate about providing exceptional patient care while contributing to a positive, team-oriented environment.

As a general dentistry practice, we focus on restorative and preventive care and do not perform root canals or extractions. This allows our team to spend more time doing the procedures they enjoy most while maintaining a predictable, low-stress workday.

We take pride in building lasting relationships with our patients and fostering a workplace where everyone supports one another. If you're looking for a collaborative private practice where your skills are valued, your work makes a meaningful impact, and you'll be part of a close-knit team that genuinely enjoys working together, we'd love to meet you.

Job Duties

• Assist the doctor during restorative and preventive procedures using efficient four-handed dentistry techniques.
• Prepare treatment rooms, instruments, and materials while maintaining the highest standards of infection control and sterilization.
• Take digital radiographs, intraoral photos, impressions, and other diagnostic records as needed.
• For EFDAs, perform expanded functions in accordance with state regulations and your level of certification.
• Deliver an exceptional patient experience by educating patients, ensuring their comfort, and working collaboratively with the team to keep the schedule running smoothly.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications
• 4-day work week (Monday–Thursday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM)
• No evenings or weekend hours, enjoy a healthy work-life balance
• SIMPLE IRA with employer matching
• Access to voluntary Aflac benefits, including life insurance and short-term disability coverage
• Continuing education opportunities to support your professional growth
• Supportive, close-knit team that values collaboration and respect
• A modern, well-established private practice where your skills are appreciated
• Opportunity to build lasting relationships with patients and make a meaningful impact every day
