Prepare treatment rooms, instruments, materials, and equipment for each patient visit. Take digital x-rays and intraoral images. Support excellent infection control, sterilization, OSHA, HIPAA, and clinical safety standards. Help patients feel welcomed, informed, comfortable, and cared for from the beginning to the end of their appointment. Clearly communicate with doctors, hygienists, front-office team members, and patients to keep the day running smoothly. Document clinical notes accurately and assist with charting as directed. Break down and reset operatories efficiently while maintaining a clean, organized clinical environment.

Comfort working in a fast-paced clinical setting while staying calm and organized. Commitment to confidentiality, HIPAA, OSHA, and infection control standards. X-ray certification preferred, or willingness to obtain if required. Experience with digital dentistry, Dentrix/Open Dental/Eaglesoft, Invisalign, implants, or oral surgery is a plus but not required. You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Believe Patients should be treated the way we would want our own family members treated. A great dental visit is built on trust, kindness, and clear communication.
