Full-Time | Monday–Saturday
Compensation: $25–$30/hour, Based on Experience
We’re opening a brand-new dental office in Jackson Heights, and we’re looking for an experienced Dental Assistant to join us from the beginning.

This isn’t an opportunity to simply step into an established routine. You’ll be one of the first members of our clinical team, working closely with our Dentist to help build an organized, efficient, and welcoming practice.

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, cares about patients, and wants to be part of building something that can grow.

You’ll play an important role in establishing the clinical workflow of the office and creating the kind of environment where the dentist can focus on dentistry and patients feel genuinely taken care of.

What You'll Do
Provide excellent chairside assistance to the Lead General Dentist
Prepare and turn over treatment rooms efficiently
Take dental X-rays as permitted by New York State requirements
Assist with general, restorative, and surgical procedures
Prepare instruments, materials, and lab cases
Maintain proper sterilization and infection-control procedures
Keep treatment rooms and clinical areas clean, organized, and fully prepared
Help keep the clinical schedule running smoothly
Communicate professionally and warmly with patients
Help create a comfortable and positive patient experience
Work closely with the dentist and clinical team to continuously improve office workflow
Who We're Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
Experienced in dental assisting
Confident with chairside assisting
Reliable and dependable
Organized and detail-oriented
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Professional, friendly, and patient-focused
A strong communicator and team player
Someone who takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
Interested in growing with a practice rather than simply working a shift
Spanish/English bilingual is strongly preferred given the Jackson Heights community.

Requirements
Dental assisting experience preferred
X-ray certification/authorization as required by New York State
Knowledge of sterilization and infection-control standards
Ability to work Monday–Saturday
Strong work ethic and professional attitude
This role will continue to expand with more opportunities to grow beyond this practice. If you're a self-starter and looking to join a growing team while helping to establish a new office, please send a CV/Resume to securityblossomdental@gmail.com.

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour
