Job Description

If you're looking for a dental office where you'll simply clock in and clock out, we may not be the right fit.

If you're looking for a practice that will invest in your growth, value your ideas, and give you the opportunity to develop into a leadership role over time, we'd love to meet you.

We are a privately owned, top-rated general dentistry practice with hundreds of 5-star reviews because we believe exceptional patient care starts with an exceptional team.

We're not searching for the "perfect" assistant—we're searching for the right person.

Skills can be taught. Attitude, reliability, integrity, and kindness cannot.

We're looking for someone who enjoys learning, communicates well, shows up every day ready to help, and wants to build a long-term career with a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

If you bring these qualities, we'll invest in your growth and provide opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and develop into a leadership role within our practice.

What You'll Be Responsible For
Assisting the doctor during a variety of dental procedures
Preparing treatment rooms, instruments, and maintaining sterilization protocols
Taking digital radiographs and charting during exams
Educating patients on treatment and post-operative care
Helping maintain inventory and an organized, efficient back office
Working closely with the front office and clinical team to create an exceptional patient experience
Stepping in where needed to help the team succeed—because no task is ever "someone else's job"
Qualifications
Minimum 6 months of dental assisting experience or completion of an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant program
Willing to work between our Margate and Lauderdale by the Sea offices (primarily Margate)
CPR/BLS Certification (or willingness to obtain)
Experience with Open Dental, digital scanners, Expanded Functions, and dental billing codes is a plus—but we're happy to train the right person.

Why You'll Love Working Here
Competitive pay based on experience
Paid time off and paid holidays
Bonus opportunities
Employee dental care plus friends & family discounts
Ongoing training and mentorship
Opportunities for advancement into leadership
A supportive, respectful team that truly enjoys working together
Before You Apply
We're looking for someone who believes reliability, kindness, accountability, and teamwork are just as important as clinical skills.

If our values resonate with you, we'd love to learn a little more about you beyond your résumé.

Please submit your résumé along with a short paragraph answering the following questions:
Why are you interested in joining our practice?

What does being a great teammate mean to you?

What is one quality or strength you would bring to our office?

What are your long-term goals in dentistry, and what kind of practice are you hope to grow with?

Thoughtful responses help us get to know the person behind the résumé, and we read every one.
