We're a small, privately owned practice looking for a Dental Assistant three days a week. Our focus is restorative dentistry — crowns and bridges, fillings, root canals, dentures and partials. Most of our patients are longtime retirees who appreciate an unhurried appointment and a familiar face.

• Keep charting accurate and current
• Walk patients through aftercare
• Track supplies and help with routine equipment upkeep

• Solid infection control knowledge
• A warm, patient manner with older adults

Nice to have:

• 2+ years chair-side experience, CDA, EFDA training, or familiarity with Dentrix

If you have the right attitude and most of the skills, apply anyway — we'll teach the rest.

• $22–$24/hour with regular reviews
• A set three-day schedule with real time for the rest of your life
• Modern equipment and a doctor who enjoys teaching
• PTO/ Paid Holidays
