About the Position
Madison Family Dental Group is looking for an experienced, dependable, and highly motivated Registered Dental Assistant to join our general dental practice.

This is not an entry-level training position. We need an RDA who already understands the fundamentals of general dentistry, can work independently, anticipates the doctor’s needs, and confidently manages the clinical flow of the day.

The right candidate takes ownership, notices what needs to be done, and follows through without waiting to be directed. We value team members who bring solutions, recommend better workflows, and help the entire clinical team operate more efficiently.

Key Responsibilities
Provide experienced chairside assistance during general and restorative dental procedures
Prepare treatment rooms, instruments, materials, and equipment before procedures
Anticipate the doctor’s needs and maintain an efficient clinical workflow
Take diagnostic quality digital radiographs within the permitted scope of an RDA
Take digital impressions or intraoral scans when needed
Assist with crowns, bridges, fillings, extractions, root canal procedures, implant procedures, cosmetic dentistry, and other general dental treatments
Accurately document treatment, clinical notes, materials, and patient information in the practice management system
Review treatment and post-operative instructions with patients as directed by the doctor
Maintain sterilization procedures and infection control standards
Complete room turnover efficiently while keeping the schedule moving
Monitor clinical supplies, organize inventory, and communicate ordering needs before supplies run low
Track laboratory cases and confirm they are ready before scheduled appointments
Help identify workflow problems and recommend practical solutions
Support other clinical team members when needed and contribute to a respectful, accountable team environment
Follow all OSHA, HIPAA, Dental Board of California, and office safety requirements
Required Qualifications
Active California Registered Dental Assistant license in good standing
Current CPR or BLS certification
All certifications and coursework required to perform RDA duties in California
Recent hands-on experience in a general dental practice
Strong knowledge of dental procedures, instruments, materials, sterilization, and infection control
Ability to work independently without needing basic dental assisting instruction
Strong organizational and time-management skills
Ability to stay composed and productive in a busy clinical environment
Professional communication skills and a patient-focused approach
Dependable attendance and consistent follow-through
Ability to accept feedback, communicate concerns professionally, and work collaboratively with the doctor and team
Invisalign Experience
Invisalign experience is strongly preferred.

Candidates with Invisalign experience should describe their involvement with areas such as:
Digital scanning and Invisalign records
Intraoral and extraoral photographs
Assisting with Invisalign case preparation
Attachment appointments and clinical assistance within the RDA’s permitted scope
Patient education regarding aligner wear and care
Progress appointments and refinement records
Our Ideal Candidate
Our ideal RDA is proactive, self-sufficient, and confident in their abilities. You do not wait to be told what needs attention. You take ownership of your rooms, instruments, supplies, schedule, and responsibilities.

You are also comfortable speaking up when you see an opportunity to improve efficiency, organization, patient care, or clinical workflow. We are looking for someone who wants to become a dependable long-term part of the practice as the office grows.
