Pediatric Dental Assistant

About Won & Co.

Won & Co. (Won Strategy & Management, Inc.) is a healthcare management company that oversees the operations, management, and continued development of a network of premium specialty healthcare practices.

Our teams work across the practices we manage to maintain a consistent standard of clinical care, patient experience, and operational excellence.

We are currently seeking a Pediatric Dental Assistant to join our centralized clinical team supporting the following Won & Co.-managed practices:

• Bear Brook Pediatric Dentistry
• New Jersey Tongue Tie Center
• Bear Brook Orthodontics

About the Role

This is a full-time, career-track clinical position designed for individuals who are interested in developing a long-term professional career in dental assisting.

Prior dental assisting experience is welcomed but not required. We provide fully paid, structured hands-on clinical training designed to help team members develop the clinical skills and competencies required for the position.

As team members progress and successfully meet established training and performance benchmarks, the organization also provides support toward obtaining applicable professional credentials, including New Jersey dental radiology/X-ray licensure.
