EFDA — 4-Day Work Week, $24–$28/hr + Daily and Monthly Bonuses + PTO

Expanded Functional Dental Assistant (EFDA) — Love Dental | Avondale, AZ
We're not looking for someone to fill a chair. We're looking for someone to help us raise the bar.

Our EFDA is moving away sadly, and that opens up a real seat on a team that takes patient care personally. If you're an EFDA who wants more than a paycheck — who wants to be great at this and be surrounded by people chasing the same thing — keep reading.

At Love Dental, "Love" isn't decoration on the sign out front. It's the standard we hold ourselves to every single day:
Love our patients — we have empathy for every person in our chair and we do everything in our control to make their visit something they'd actually recommend to a friend.

Love our coworkers — we look out for each other, jump in before we're asked, and communicate with compassion. No negative talk, no leaving teammates hanging.

Love our work — we do things the right way for the right reasons, and we're never "stuck" doing it a certain way just because it's comfortable. Better way? We find it.

Love ourselves enough to bring our best version to work — positive attitude, YES WE CAN energy, personal stress left at the door.

Love our growth — we improve 1% every day. We read, we learn, we apply, and we don't repeat the same mistakes.

Love our adaptability — new systems, new challenges, tasks outside the job description? We adapt and figure it out instead of throwing our hands up.

If you read that list and thought "that's how I already work" — we should talk.

The higher we climb, the more there is to share — and because it's a percentage of collection, the payout keeps growing as the team performs. The better we do, the bigger everyone's slice. You share directly in the results of work you helped create.
