Part Time Dental Assistant - Honolulu Dental Care

About Kokua Smiles and Rising Tide Dental Partners

Kokua Smiles is a locally focused dental organization serving communities across Oʻahu through four convenient locations:
Dental Care of Pearlridge, Honolulu Dental Care, Waiʻalae Dental Care, and Kāneʻohe Family Dental Care. Our teams are committed to providing compassionate, high‑quality dental care while creating welcoming experiences for every patient who walks through our doors.

As part of Rising Tide Dental Partners, Kokua Smiles benefits from the resources, operational support, and professional development opportunities of a growing multi‑practice dental organization while maintaining the community‑centered culture and individualized care of its local offices.

We believe exceptional patient care begins with an exceptional team. That is why we invest in mentorship, continued education, leadership development, and meaningful opportunities for growth. Whether someone is beginning a career in dentistry or bringing years of experience to our organization, our goal is to provide a supportive environment where team members can build lasting careers, strengthen their skills, and make a positive difference in the communities we serve.

Across the dental industry, many assistants are feeling it—cut hours, no raises, and limited opportunities to grow. The workforce is shifting, and a lot of offices are staying stagnant.

At Kokua Smiles , we’ve chosen a different path.

We are a privately‑owned, locally led, and steadily growing group of dental offices in Oahu—and we’re looking for a reliable, growth‑minded Dental Assistant who wants more than just a job.

• Consistent hours you can count on
• We don’t under‑schedule our assistants. Our model is built to keep you busy, productive, and supported.
• Real earning potential

If you’ve been stuck without raises or bonuses, you’ll find opportunity here. We reward contribution and growth.

• A clear path forward

We promote from within and actively develop our team. If you want to grow your skills and income, we’ll help you get there. Whether you’re newer or experienced, we invest in your development so you can become more confident and valuable in your role. While many practices are pulling back, we’re continuing to grow—and that creates more opportunity for our team.

You’ll be surrounded by professionals who take pride in their work and support each other.

• Stability in a tight economy
• A respectful, team‑first environment

Our practice is built around growth and accountability , so we’re looking for Dental Assistants who are:

• Dependable and take ownership of their role
• Focused on delivering great patient care
• Open to coaching and continuous improvement
• Ready to be part of a team that’s moving forward

Everything we do is centered around our patients—and that means we need a team that shows up with integrity, consistency, and care every day.

If you’re ready for more stability, more opportunity, and a team that’s actually growing , we’d love to meet you.

If you’re ready to be part of a practice that is building something meaningful—and stable—even in today’s economy, we’d love to meet you.
