Experienced Dental Assistant – Superior, CO
$60,000 Annualized Base (Paid Hourly) + Performance Bonuses | Total Compensation Potential ≈ $40/Hour | 4-Day Clinical Week | Thursdays Off
Work alongside a doctor patients love, in a private practice where great people and great dentistry still matter.

Branin Center for Dentistry in Superior, Colorado is looking for an exceptional experienced chairside dental assistant to work directly alongside Dr. Claire Sesson.

Dr. Sesson is one of the most highly regarded doctors in our practice. She consistently receives five-star feedback from patients, is genuinely loved by her patients and teammates, and provides outstanding general, restorative, cosmetic, and comprehensive dental care.

This is an opportunity to become Dr. Sesson’s primary clinical partner — not simply another assistant rotating through the office.

We are looking for someone who is experienced, personable, organized, meticulous, and interested in building a long-term career with BRANIN.

For the right person, this position can also grow beyond traditional chairside assisting into clinical coordination, leadership, administrative responsibilities, and expanded career opportunities within our organization.

Why BRANIN?

Branin Center for Dentistry is a dentist-owned private dental group — not a private-equity-backed DSO.

Our offices are modern, technologically advanced, and built around a straightforward philosophy:
Do excellent dentistry. Take exceptional care of patients. Hire great people. Treat them well.

Our Superior office has earned hundreds of five-star patient reviews, and we encourage applicants to read them before applying. They tell our story better than we ever could.

We believe talented dental professionals should be able to build an excellent career without sacrificing the quality of care they provide, the relationships they develop with patients, or the culture they work in every day.

Your Schedule
This position follows Dr. Sesson’s clinical schedule, giving you a consistent four-day workweek:
Monday: Patients 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
Tuesday: Patients 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
Wednesday: Patients 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
Thursday: OFF
Friday: Patients 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
Team huddle begins approximately 10 minutes before the first patient each day.

No weekends.

There may occasionally be limited time after patient hours for normal clinical wrap-up, sterilization, meetings, or related responsibilities.

Compensation$60,000 Annualized Base Compensation
The starting base compensation is equivalent to approximately $30/hour based on a 2,000-hour annualized work year.

But the base salary is only part of the opportunity.

This position will also participate in two separate performance-based bonus opportunities:
Dr. Sesson Performance Bonus — based on the performance and productivity of Dr. Sesson’s schedule
Superior Office Performance Bonus — based on the overall performance of the office
For an exceptional assistant working alongside a productive doctor in a high-performing office, these bonuses can materially increase overall compensation.

Total compensation has the potential to approach the equivalent of approximately $40/hour.

Bonus compensation is performance-based and is not guaranteed.

Our philosophy is simple:
When you help your doctor and your office succeed, you should have the opportunity to share in that success.
