Silver Lake Dental is a positive, patient-focused dental practice where every team member plays a key role in delivering exceptional care. Our dentists, Dr. Theresa Snell, Dr. Devon Blob, and Dr. Kelsey Utech, are committed to creating a supportive, upbeat environment for both patients and staff.

We value teamwork, clear communication, and a genuine passion for helping patients feel comfortable and cared for at every visit.

We are seeking a Licensed Dental Assistant to work directly alongside our doctors and clinical team. This is an opportunity to do meaningful, hands-on clinical work while growing your skills in a practice that truly appreciates your contribution.

If you enjoy being busy, love patient interaction, and want to be part of a collaborative team where your ideas and efforts are noticed, this role offers a great long-term fit.

• Arrive by 7:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday to prepare operatories, review the day, and participate in our 7:45 a.m. morning huddle so the team is aligned before patients arrive at 8:00 a.m.
• Assist the doctor chairside with a variety of procedures, providing efficient, attentive support while ensuring patients feel informed, comfortable, and cared for.
• Create accurate, detailed chart notes and documentation that help the team deliver consistent, high-quality care.
• Prepare treatment rooms and instruments between patients, and participate in sterilization and infection-control protocols to maintain a safe, clean environment.
• Pitch in with additional clinical and patient-care tasks as needed to help the team run smoothly and maintain an excellent patient experience.

• Within your first few months, you are independently managing chairside assisting duties, staying one step ahead of the doctor, and keeping the schedule running smoothly.
• Patients consistently feel at ease in your care, and you build strong rapport through clear communication and a calm, friendly presence.
• Treatment rooms are consistently prepared on time, properly stocked, and maintained according to practice standards and protocols.
• You are an active, reliable team member who contributes in morning huddles, communicates clearly with colleagues, and helps create a positive, supportive work environment.

• Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage a steady patient flow and stay calm under pressure.
• Strong communicator who enjoys interacting with patients and collaborating closely with the clinical and front-desk teams.
• A positive, "pitch-in" attitude, always willing to help wherever needed to support patients and teammates.

• Competitive pay and benefits package.
• Opportunities to grow your clinical and communication skills in a supportive practice.
• Monday-Thursday schedule with start time at 7:30 a.m. and patient care beginning at 8:00 a.m.
• Work environment that respects your work/life balance.
