Job description

Are you a highly proficient Dental Assistant ready to move beyond general dentistry? Join our exclusive Prosthodontic specialty practice where we focus on complex, life-changing cases. We are a fee-for-service office (no insurance) dedicated to providing the highest quality, personalized care, and achieving incredible results for our patients.

If you are motivated to expand your knowledge base and seek challenges beyond ordinary dentistry, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Do:

  • Complex Case Assisting: Be deeply involved with procedures ranging from surgical placements (implants), fixed restorations (crowns/bridges), to advanced removable prosthetics (dentures).

  • Skill Expansion: Actively seek to expand your clinical knowledge regarding advanced procedures and the specialized technology used in Prosthodontics (e.g., CBCT Imaging, Surgical Navigation, Laser Care).

  • Patient Experience: Support the highest level of patient care, ensuring comfort and clear communication throughout complex treatment plans.

  • High Proficiency Assisting: Maintain an exceptional level of assisting skill, anticipating the needs of the doctor and managing clinical flow efficiently.

Required Qualifications:

  • Proven Dental Assisting Proficiency: Must possess strong clinical skills and excellent dental knowledge.

  • Motivation to Learn: A high degree of motivation to expand knowledge regarding specialized procedures and treatment types is essential.

  • Professionalism & Attitude: Excellent communication skills and a positive, team-oriented attitude are required for working in a specialty environment.

  • Experience: Prior experience in a specialty environment (e.g., Oral Surgery, Periodontics, or Prosthodontics) is highly desirable, though strong general practice experience with a desire to specialize will be considered.

Why Join Our Practice?

You will enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of being involved with highly rewarding cases that dramatically improve patients' lives and smiles. If you are tired of production dentistry and want to do something different than ordinary dentistry, this is the place to elevate your career.
