Dental Schedule Coordinator

Dental Scheduling Coordinator
Job Overview
Northpointe Family Dentistry is seeking an organized, warm, and proactive Dental Scheduling Coordinator to be the heartbeat of our front office. As the first point of contact for our patients, you’ll own the daily schedule, keep the calendar full and productive, and create a welcoming experience from the moment someone walks in or picks up the phone. If you thrive in a fast-paced practice, take pride in an efficiently run day, and want to grow with a practice that invests in its people, we’d love to meet you.

We’ll train the right person. Dental front-office experience is a plus, but the right attitude, work ethic, and coachability matter more.

What You’ll Do
Own the daily and weekly patient schedule in Open Dental, keeping providers productive and minimizing gaps and no-shows
Confirm upcoming appointments 24 to 48 hours in advance by phone, text, and email with friendly, professional communication
Fill openings quickly from the schedule and recall lists when cancellations happen
Coordinate follow-up and treatment-plan appointments, ensuring proper chair time and provider availability
Greet patients warmly, manage check-in and check-out, and keep the reception area calm and welcoming
Answer and route multi-line phone calls, triage patient questions, and handle scheduling requests
Keep patient records accurate and up to date in Open Dental while safeguarding confidentiality
Communicate throughout the day with hygienists, assistants, and doctors to keep patient flow smooth
Handle general front-desk clerical tasks, including forms, data entry, and correspondence, with accuracy
What We’re Looking For
A people-first personality with genuine warmth and professional phone etiquette
Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball
Comfort with computers and a willingness to learn Open Dental (experience with it, or similar dental software, is a plus)
Clear written and verbal communication
Reliability, punctuality, and a team-first mindset
Dental or medical front-office experience preferred, but not required for the right candidate
Working knowledge of dental terminology and insurance basics is a plus
Commitment to patient confidentiality and HIPAA compliance
Bilingual is a plus and helps us serve our community better
High school diploma or equivalent
