Experienced Dental Assistant

Dental Assistant – Private Dental Practice

Lake Mary, FL | Tuesday–Thursday

We are a growing, privately owned dental practice looking for an experienced, caring, and motivated Dental Assistant to join our team.

We are looking for someone who is more than a chairside assistant. The right person is organized, proactive, confident with patients, and always thinking one step ahead of the doctor. We want someone who takes pride in their work, contributes to a positive patient experience, and wants to grow with our practice.

What You'll Do

• Prepare treatment rooms and patients for procedures
• Provide efficient four-handed chairside assistance
• Anticipate the doctor's needs and keep appointments running smoothly
• Take quality dental radiographs
• Assist with restorative, crown and bridge, and implant procedures
• Have a working knowledge of proper implant assisting and sterile techniques
• Take digital impressions/scans and assist with fabrication of temporary restorations
• Maintain accurate and complete clinical documentation
• Review recommended treatment with patients following the doctor's exam
• Use X-rays and intraoral photos to help patients understand their treatment
• Reinforce the importance and urgency of recommended care
• Provide a clear, professional handoff to the front office
• Follow proper sterilization, infection-control, OSHA, and CDC protocols
• Keep operatories, sterilization, lab, and clinical areas clean and organized
• Monitor supplies and communicate ordering needs before materials run low

We're Looking for Someone Who...

• Has previous dental assisting experience
• Is comfortable assisting with implant procedures
• Is dependable, organized, and detail-oriented
• Can confidently take quality X-rays and digital scans
• Understands the importance of excellent room setup and preparation
• Stays with the patient and is attentive throughout treatment
• Communicates well with both patients and the doctor
• Is comfortable reinforcing treatment recommendations and helping patients understand their care
• Takes initiative during downtime instead of waiting to be told what to do
• Takes ownership of sterilization, supplies, and clinical organization
• Has a warm, reassuring personality—especially with anxious patients
• Brings a positive, solution-oriented attitude to the team
• Wants to help a small private practice grow and succeed
