If you are looking for long-term stability and growth in orthodontics—not just another job—we want to meet you.

We are hiring a Full‑Time Orthodontic Dental Assistant to join our high-performing clinical team.

  • Relevant dental assistant licensure (if required by state law)
  • Experience with digital scanning technology
  • Commitment to continuing education and professional development
Work Schedule

We operate in a patient-centered model. Many patients are children and working adults, so peak demand occurs after school, after work, and on some Saturdays. Local travel between offices may be required.

Compensation

Pay range starting at $22.00 per hour. Final offer determined by experience, qualifications, license. High performers have clear opportunities for advancement. Highly competitive compensation.

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
