About Us
Madison Family Dental Group is a modern, patient-focused dental practice serving the Fair Oaks community. We are building a strong clinical team that values accountability, communication, professionalism, and high-quality patient care.

This is a fast-paced office with high standards. We support and train our team on office flow, systems, and expectations, but this is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who already has strong dental assisting fundamentals and can confidently step into the role.

A strong communicator with both patients and team members
Organized and able to keep rooms, supplies, and workflow moving efficiently
Comfortable in a busy clinical environment
Willing to take ownership of their role and help wherever needed
Passionate about providing a great patient experience
We are willing to pay at the higher end of the range for the right candidate, but this person must bring experience, confidence, accountability, and a strong work ethic.

If you are still learning the basics, need heavy supervision, or prefer a slow-paced environment, this position will not be the right fit.
