Bonus points (not required):

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Weekly bonus opportunities
• PTO and paid holidays
• Structured onboarding and ongoing coaching
• A clear growth path into expanded functions and advanced clinical skills
• A team environment where being organized and skilled is actually recognized

Most dental offices underutilize their best assistants.

We build clinical teams that perform at a level above the industry standard, and we want skilled people who are ready to be part of that.
