• Capture high-quality diagnostics (e.g., x-rays, scans) that are complete, accurate, and ready for review
• Deliver a positive patient experience by communicating clearly, providing reassurance, and reinforcing treatment and post-op instructions
• Maintain strict infection control, sterilization, and safety protocols at all times
• Manage operatory flow, room turnover, and supply readiness to support a productive clinical schedule
• Collaborate with team members to keep the day running smoothly and step in where needed
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, organization, and overall team efficiency

Job Requirements:
• Active Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) certification and all required state credentials
• 2+ years of dental assisting experience preferred
• High school diploma or equivalent required; completion of an accredited dental assisting program preferred
• Positive, professional demeanor with a patient-first mindset
• Strong communication skills with the ability to educate and build trust with patients

• Detail-oriented with a commitment to high-quality, accurate work
• Reliable, accountable, and able to take ownership of responsibilities
• Team-oriented with a willingness to support others and adapt to changing needs
• Coachable with a growth mindset and willingness to continuously improve

Benefits:
• PTO and paid holidays
• Relaxed, friendly, and fun culture filled with smart colleagues across the entire organization
• Opportunity to play a role in the success of a rapidly growing company
• Competitive pay
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
• 401K plan with up to 4% matching
