We are a boutique style, tech-forward practice built around hospitality and making connections with our patients. Every family who walks through our door gets a high level of customer service, and we hold ourselves to that standard on the clinical side too. Just as much, we care about the environment we work in. This is a fun, warm place to spend your day, and we look after each other the same way we look after our patients.

Track supplies, place orders, and keep operatories stocked
Handle in office lab work, retainer and appliance turnaround, and outside lab coordination
Front Desk
Everyone here wears more than one hat. You will regularly answer phones, greet patients, schedule and confirm appointments, support patient communication, and keep records HIPAA compliant.
What We Are Looking For:
RDA certification and a current X-ray license. Both required.
Minimum two years of orthodontic assisting experience.
Confidence with digital scanning and comfort learning new technology
A warm, engaging personality and genuine enjoyment of people
Steady hands, high attention to detail, and strong organization
Clear, professional communication with patients and parents
