Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA)

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant | EFDA

Full-Time | Toledo Dental Team | Toledo, OH

Toledo Dental Team is looking for a full-time Expanded Functions Dental Assistant to join our growing practice.

At Toledo Dental Team, the EFDA is more than an assistant. You are a trusted clinical partner, a patient comfort champion, and one of the steady hands that helps the day run smoothly. You help create the experience patients remember: organized care, clear communication, kind support, and a team that works together with purpose.

This role is a great fit for someone who is clinically skilled, positive, dependable, and ready to be part of a team that takes patient care seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Why this role matters

A great dental visit does not happen by accident. It takes preparation, teamwork, attention to detail, and a clinical team that knows how to keep the day moving while still making each patient feel cared for.

As an EFDA, you will support the doctor chairside, place restorations within your scope, help maintain excellent clinical flow, and make sure patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their visit. You are part technician, part teammate, part patient translator, and part calm-in-the-chair wizard.

What You’ll Do

Day-to-day responsibilities include:
Assisting the doctor during a variety of dental procedures

Placing restorations and performing EFDA duties within your licensed scope of practice

Preparing treatment rooms, instruments, materials, and equipment for procedures

Supporting efficient patient flow and helping the clinical team stay on schedule

Taking necessary records, radiographs, impressions, or scans as needed and permitted by training/certification

Educating patients on treatment, post-op instructions, and oral health recommendations

Helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and cared for from start to finish

Maintaining accurate clinical documentation

Following infection control, OSHA, HIPAA, and practice safety standards

Sterilizing instruments and maintaining clean, organized clinical spaces

Communicating clearly with doctors, hygienists, assistants, front office team members, and leadership

Supporting inventory awareness and helping ensure clinical supplies are ready when needed

Jumping in where needed to support the team and the patient experience

What We’re Looking For

You may be a great fit if you have:
Current EFDA certification/licensure in Ohio

Dental assisting experience

Radiology certification, if applicable

Strong clinical skills and attention to detail

A positive, professional, and service-oriented attitude

The ability to stay organized in a busy clinical environment

Strong communication skills with patients and team members

A team-first mindset and willingness to help where needed

Comfort using dental software and digital systems

A dependable, patient-focused approach to your work

What We Offer
Competitive pay

Medical and vision benefits

Life insurance

Dental coverage for team members and immediate family

401(k)

Paid time off and holiday pay

Opportunities for professional growth and continued learning

A supportive team environment where your clinical skills genuinely matter
