Gateway Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons of St. Louis is a growing, patient-centered oral surgery practice focused on providing exceptional care with professionalism, compassion, and respect. We believe a healthy, supportive workplace culture is just as important as clinical excellence. Our team values collaboration, accountability, continuous learning, and showing up each day with a positive, solutions-focused attitude.

We’re looking for a reliable, motivated, and mature professional who enjoys a role with variety and understands that in a small, growing practice, teamwork truly matters—no one works in a silo here.

• Prepare operatories, sterilize instruments, and maintain surgical equipment.
• Monitor vitals, assist with anesthesia support, and provide post‑op instructions.
• Maintain accurate charting and follow infection control and OSHA protocols.

• Greet patients, manage check‑in/check‑out, and provide excellent customer service.
• Schedule appointments and manage provider calendars.
• Verify insurance benefits, obtain authorizations, and explain financial expectations.
• Answer phones, collect co‑pays, process payments, and assist with billing workflows.
• Maintain organized patient records, consent forms, and correspondence.
• Support patient follow‑ups and light outreach as needed.

• Dental assisting experience required; oral surgery experience strongly preferred.
• Surgical Assistant certification (or willingness to obtain).
• Current CPR/AED certification; IV sedation experience a plus.
• Experience with dental software, scheduling, insurance verification, and patient communication.
• Strong organizational, multitasking, and communication skills.
• Mature, team‑oriented, and dependable—professional and drama‑free.

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Supportive, collaborative team environment.
• Modern facility focused on patient‑first care.
