Dental Assistant
Job Description
Dental Assistant | Downtown Los Angeles
You’re good at this. You’ve proven it in offices that ran on chaos, shortcuts, and whoever happened to be available, and you did great work anyway.
Now imagine doing that work somewhere that matches your standard.
We won’t promise you a perfect office. We’re offering something better: the chance to help build one, alongside a doctor and team who care about the details as much as you do.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- You own your column. Your operatory, your patients, your flow. You and one other assistant each run your own side, and the doctor moves between you. No one micromanages you.
- Time to do it right. We’re a fee-for-service (out-of-network) practice, so we book for quality, not quotas. Low volume. High standards. No chaos.
- Systems that work, and a say in them. You won’t be covering for a broken process. You’ll help shape the one we’re building.
- Real clinical variety. Restorative, cosmetic, implants, digital scanning, whitening and more. You’ll keep your skills sharp and add new ones.
- Pay that rewards your impact. Competitive base pay based on your experience, plus monthly bonuses when we hit production goals together.
- A team that has your back. We take care of each other, because a supported team gives the best care.
What Your Day Looks Like
- Assisting chairside on restorative, cosmetic, implant and other procedures
- Taking digital impressions with the iTero scanner
- Doing Zoom whitening treatments and limited exams
- Taking intraoral images and full-mouth series
- Setting up, turning over and sterilizing your operatory so it’s always clean, stocked and ready before the doctor needs it
- Creating, tracking and coordinating lab cases
- Making every patient in your chair feel cared for: never forgotten, never rushed
You’ll Thrive Here If You’re…
Precise, efficient and warm, all at once. You set up a room like it matters, because it does. You can put a nervous patient at ease without missing a beat. You like working next to a peer at your level, and you’re happy to mentor when it helps the team. And you’re always looking to learn something new.
What You’ll Need
- Chairside experience with restorative and cosmetic procedures
- A serious approach to sterilization and room prep
- Bonus points: iTero, Zoom whitening and single-tooth implant experience
What We Believe
- We take care of each other. A supported team delivers exceptional care.
- We chase excellence to the final inch. Patients notice the details even when they can’t name them.
- Everyone leads. No one waits to be told. We see what needs doing and we do it.
- We never settle for “good enough.” A 4-star review means we ask what we missed.
Above all, we treat every patient the way we’d want our own family treated: with honesty, dignity and warmth.
Ready to Build Something Great?
We’d love to hear from you.
