We are a modern, patient-focused private dental practice with five operatories. Our office uses efficient digital workflows, including an in-house Medit intraoral scanner, to provide high-quality patient care.

  • At least one year of dental assisting experience preferred
  • Comfortable with digital dentistry
  • Experience with intraoral scanners—Medit preferred—or a strong willingness to learn
  • Flexible and open to learning, growing, and continually expanding clinical knowledge and skills
  • Adaptable and able to respond positively to changes in workflow and priorities
  • Strong work ethic with a willingness to hustle during busy days
  • Self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative without needing constant direction
  • Strong communication, punctuality, and teamwork
  • Positive, dependable, and patient-focused
  • Flexibility to work occasional Saturdays when needed
  • RDAEF certification is a plus but not required
