Dental Assistant

We’re looking for a part-time Dental Assistant who cares about patients and wants to be part of a close, supportive team.

Who we’re looking for

We care about attitude as much as experience. You’ll do well here if you:

• Help out when you have free time. If your room is set up and you’re not busy, you help with sterilization, turnover, the front desk, or whoever needs a hand, without being asked.
• Work as a team. Here we fix problems together. We don’t blame each other or point fingers.
• Treat everyone with respect. That includes patients, coworkers and doctors. Our team values a respectful workplace, and we have zero tolerance for disrespectful language or behavior.
• Stay professional and drama-free. If you have a concern, you raise it directly and calmly. We don’t do gossip, cliques or workplace drama.
• Have a positive, can-do attitude and enjoy learning.

Responsibilities

• Chairside assisting for general, restorative, and implant/surgical procedures
• Room setup, breakdown, and sterilization following infection-control protocols
• Taking radiographs and intraoral scans
• Patient prep, post-op instructions, and making patients feel comfortable
• Helping the front desk and hygiene team as needed

Qualifications

• Maryland radiation certification required
• Dental assisting experience preferred
• Experience with Open Dental is a plus
• CPR/BLS certified (or willing to get certified)
• Reliable, punctual, and dependable

Schedule & pay

• Part-time: Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM
• Pay: $23–$25/hour, based on experience
• Dental benefits after a 90-day probationary period

To apply: Send your resume and a few sentences on why you’d be a good fit for a team-first office.
