Job Description
We are a fee-for-service restorative and specialty dental practice seeking an exceptional, mentally strong dental assistant to work directly with the Owner, Founder, and CEO of the practice.
This is not a traditional dental assisting role.
This position requires high emotional intelligence, personal accountability, cultural maturity, and resilience. Technical skill matters — but character, mindset, and alignment with a strong office culture matter more.
This Role Requires Someone Who
- Thrives in high expectations and clear leadership
- Takes direct feedback without defensiveness
- Holds themselves accountable without excuses
- Understands and respects structure, standards, and hierarchy
- Can remain calm, focused, and professional under pressure
- Is mentally strong, emotionally steady, and self-reflective
- Protects the culture, values, and reputation of the practice
- Sees their role as a clinical partner and steward of standards, not just support staff
You will be assisting the owner directly. That means:
- Your preparation must be excellent
- Your communication must be precise
- Your awareness must be constant
- Your attitude must be consistently professional
Who You Are
You are a high-integrity professional who:
- Is exceptionally punctual and reliable
- Does not require micromanagement
- Anticipates needs and prepares ahead of time
- Maintains elite standards even when unobserved
- Values order, cleanliness, and efficiency
- Is naturally respectful, composed, and thoughtful
- Understands that culture is built daily through behavior
You are not reactive, defensive, entitled, or casual about your responsibilities.
Clinical Expectations
You bring strong experience or the capacity to quickly master:
- Restorative, aesthetic/cosmetic, and implant dentistry
- Digital radiography and CBCT imaging
- Dental materials, workflows, and sequencing
- Clinical photography at a high standard
- Practice management software and modern dental technology
- Thoughtful contribution to treatment planning discussions
Who We Are
We are a long-established, fee-for-service specialty practice built on excellence, consistency, and trust. Our patients and referral partners expect a level of care and professionalism that cannot be delivered without a strong internal culture.
We are deeply intentional about who we bring into our team.
Skill can be taught. Character and mindset cannot.
