International Dentist – Advanced Clinical Assistant (Multispecialty Practice)

Smile House + J B L New York City

Smile House and J B L New York City are modern, multispecialty dental practices rooted in the belief that oral health is inseparable from whole-body health. Our teams collaborate across disciplines—restorative, aesthetic, airway, sleep, periodontal, orthodontic, and biologic dentistry—to deliver personalized, thoughtful, and elevated care.

Our offices are designed for excellence: beautiful spaces, cutting-edge technology, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a culture of learning, leadership, and service. We are educators, innovators, and clinicians who care deeply about patients and each other.
