Dental Assisting Instructor – Put Your Clinical Experience to Work
(No Teaching Experience Needed)
Are you an experienced Dental Assistant who’s ready for a change from the fast pace of daily patient care? Looking for a stable, meaningful role where you can share your knowledge without the physical demands of full-time clinical work?
This is your opportunity to stay in dentistry, inspire the next generation of Dental Assistants, and build a rewarding career in education.
We’re looking for skilled dental professionals — not career educators. If you know dental assisting, we’ll teach you how to teach.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Dental Assisting Instructor, you’ll bring real-world chairside experience into the classroom and lab, helping students connect textbook concepts to what actually happens in today’s dental practices.
You will:
Teach dental assisting concepts through classroom instruction, skills lab demonstrations, and hands-on training
Demonstrate clinical procedures including chairside assisting, infection control, radiography, instrument processing, impressions, and patient care techniques
Share real-world experiences, industry standards, and best practices from modern dental settings
Mentor students as they build technical skills, professionalism, and confidence in patient interaction
Prepare students for certification and entry-level Dental Assisting roles
Evaluate student performance and provide constructive, supportive feedback
Participate in paid instructor training and ongoing professional development
Work independently while supported by a collaborative academic and administrative team
No lesson plans from scratch. We provide curriculum, training, and instructional support.
Minimum Requirements
Minimum 3 years’ experience as a Dental Assistant or EFDA required
Minimum of a Diploma from a Dental Assisting or Dental Hygiene program
Certified Dental Assistant through DANB or willing to obtain at time of hire
CPR / BLS, RHS certifications required
Ability to use common software programs (MS Word/Excel/Outlook etc.)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Great interpersonal skills
Why This Role?
Formal and on-the-job training to transition into teaching
Opportunity to shape future dental professionals
Continue your career in dentistry without the physical demands of full-time clinical work
If you’re ready to step away from the operatory while staying in the profession you love, this could be the next rewarding chapter of your career!
