Job description

Why pay thousands for dental assisting school… when you can getpaid to learn instead?

Dental Assistant Trainee — Paid On-the-Job Training Program (Summer-Fall 2026) Lawson, MO | Full-Time | No Experience Required

Feel part of a dental team from Day 1.

Why learn on nights and weekends when you could be fully immersed in a modern dental office — working side-by-side with a team that’s invested in your growth?

We’re hiring two motivated, people-focused individuals to join our 90-day On-the-Job Dental Assistant Training Program. You’ll be trained using the same curriculum taught in formal assisting schools — but here, you get paid to learn.

What You’ll Get:

• A full-time, paid training role — no tuition, no student loans
• Real mentorship from skilled assistants and dentists
• Hands‑on experience from Day 1
• Exposure to up‑to‑date procedures, technology, and clinical systems
• Rotating training in hygiene and restorative care to broaden your skill set
• A clear growth path with evaluations at 30, 60, and 90 days

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Are dependable and eager to learn
• Want to be part of a tight‑knit, purpose‑driven team
• Love helping people feel cared for and confident
• Are looking for a career, not just a job

The Future is Bright:

At the end of 90 days, we’ll evaluate each trainee’s clinical growth, coachability, and cultural fit. Trainees who shine may be offered a permanent position on our dental team.

We are recruiting applicants now for the Late Summer - Fall semester!
