Location: McLean, VA
Practice Type: Private Practice (Fee-for-Service / FFS focused)
About Us:
We are a boutique, single-location private dental practice dedicated to providing exceptional, individualized care. Because we focus primarily on a fee-for-service (FFS) model rather than high-volume insurance processing, we prioritize quality, patient relationships, and a calm, professional working environment. We are looking for a reliable, polished team member who takes pride in clinical excellence and patient hospitality.

What We Offer:
Competitive hourly pay based on experience
Flexible scheduling (Open to both full-time and part-time candidates)

Deliver exceptional customer service, making patients feel comfortable and valued from arrival to checkout.

Clear, professional communication regarding post-operative care and treatment instructions.

Required Qualifications:
Experience: Proven proficiency in 4-handed dentistry.

Certifications: Current X-ray/Radiation Safety Certification and active CPR/BLS certification are mandatory.

Language Skills: Advanced proficiency in English (both reading and writing) is required for precise charting, treatment documentation, and patient communications.

Soft Skills: Outstanding customer service abilities with a warm, professional clinical demeanor.

Preferred Qualifications:
Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) status is a strong plus.

Experience working in a private, patient-centric dental practice setting.
