Dental Assistant - Operative or Hygiene focused

We are in need of a positive, hospitality oriented, reliable, and punctual assistant. As a general practice with a wide range of procedures offered, we will need an assistant with at least 1 year of experience. More experience is preferred, however 1 year will be enough for you to step into the role and grow with confidence. Similarly, an assistant with chairside operative general practice experience is ideal, however this position can be focused to a simpler role of hygiene and sterilization if that experience is not yet acquired.

We might be your perfect fit if the following describes you:
Enjoys completing objectives and being recognized for doing so
Works well in small teams
Engages patients while progressing appointments
Professional
Efficiency oriented
Prioritizes customer service
Comfortable with receiving training and feedback
Adept at communicating treatment recommendations and their rationale

At Finn Hill Dental we are fortunate to serve a very pleasant patient base. We take pride in providing them with exceptional dental care and a positive patient experience. Our team enjoys working together in a friendly and professional atmosphere. We are looking forward to welcoming one more assistant to our team.

As our newest assistant we want you to be involved in all areas of practice. If you have robust experience, then we will integrate you quickly into all aspects of the practice. However, if you have less experience then your primary focus will be working directly with our hygienist and being the primary driver of the sterilization department. You will have the opportunity to contribute in significant and meaningful ways which will allow you to progress within our practice. This can include expanding into more operative procedures with doctor assisting, but is not an immediate requirement. If this sounds like an opportunity that interests you, then please send us a resume and give us a call. We look forward to speaking with you.
