Description

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA)

Join a Team Where Your Skills Actually Matter

At Urgent Dental Center & Family Dentistry , our EFDAs are far more than assistants, they're essential clinical partners who help deliver comprehensive dentistry efficiently and at a high level every day.

If you enjoy staying busy, working alongside doctors who perform advanced procedures, and using the full extent of your expanded functions, you'll thrive here.

We believe patients deserve treatment today, not weeks from now. That's why our EFDAs help make same-day comprehensive care possible.

What Makes This Role Different

Our providers focus on full mouth and half mouth dentistry at the first appointment and our EFDAs are a critical part of making that happen. We believe dentistry should fit into our patients' lives—not disrupt them. By delivering same-day, comprehensive care whenever possible, we help patients get out of pain, restore their health, and avoid taking unnecessary time away from work and family.

You’ll work alongside doctors performing:

Full-mouth rehabilitation

Crown and bridge procedures

Surgical and simple extractions

Root canal therapy

Large restorative cases

No two days look the same.

If you enjoy variety, efficiency, and staying productive, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

Place permanent restorations utilizing your EFDA certification

Fabricate and adjust temporary restorations

Coronal polish and apply fluoride treatments

Take digital radiographs and CBCT scans

Assist during surgical, restorative, and endodontic procedures

Prepare treatment rooms and instruments

Maintain strict sterilization and infection control standards

Educate patients on treatment and post-operative instructions

Document procedures accurately in the clinical chart

Help maintain an efficient patient flow from start to finish

Support same-day treatment conversions and comprehensive care

What We’re Looking For

EFDA experience

Knowledge of restorative, surgical, and endodontic procedures

Strong organization and multitasking skills

Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

Positive attitude with excellent communication skills

Passion for patient care and continuous learning

Team-first mentality

Why You’ll Love Working Here

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Practice at the top of your license
• Work alongside highly productive doctors
• Expand your clinical skills
• Gain exposure to advanced procedures
• Be part of a collaborative, supportive team
• Make an immediate impact on patients experiencing dental pain
• Grow your career within a rapidly expanding organization
• Competitive pay
