Job Description

Client Experience Leader

Dental Reception / Administration + Dental Assisting

Are you the kind of person who lights up a room the moment you walk in?

Do you love connecting with people, keeping things organized, and creating an exceptional experience for everyone you meet?

We are searching for a Client Experience Leader to become the welcoming face and heartbeat of a thriving dental practice.

This is not just a reception role.

It is a hybrid position that blends front desk leadership with clinical assisting, meaning you will spend part of your week supporting the patient experience at the front desk and part of your week assisting the clinical team when needed.

The right candidate is someone who is confident, experienced, and comfortable stepping into both environments, because great dentistry requires great teamwork.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love helping people, and take pride in making both the patient experience and the day-to-day workflow run smoothly, we would love to meet you.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Responsibilities may include:

Chairside assisting during dental procedures
Preparing and turning over operatories
Taking x-rays when required
Supporting treatment flow and patient comfort
Helping maintain sterilization and clinical organization
Supporting the clinical team during busy days or schedule gaps

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both the patient interaction of the front desk and the hands-on clinical side of dentistry.

Office Coordination & Administration

You will help ensure the practice runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Manage patient records and update charts
Verify insurance eligibility and submit pre-determinations
Post payments and track claims
Greet patients, check patients in, book treatment-planned appointments, and check patients out
Maintain accurate patient communication and documentation
Monitor schedules to support productivity and patient flow
Participate in weekly team meetings and daily huddles
Support marketing initiatives and patient engagement efforts
Complete opening and end-of-day closing duties
Assist with office systems and software coordination

Outgoing and people-focused
Highly organized and detail-oriented
Comfortable multitasking in a busy environment
A strong communicator with excellent written and verbal skills
Positive, professional, and team-oriented

Most importantly, we are looking for someone with a rockstar personality who takes pride in delivering exceptional service to patients and supporting their team.
