Registered Dental Assistant (RDA)

HIRING IMMEDIATELY! We are looking to add another experienced Registered Dental Assistant to our team at Graham Family Dental! We want someone with a good, lively personality that will help comfort and entertain our patients to make them more comfortable in the dental office during their treatment. The ideal candidate would have at least 3-5 years experience, well versed in crown and bridge, root canals, implants, dentures, partials, and restorative work. It would be wonderful if the applicant also had front desk experience. We are looking for a competent dental assistant who will make the dentist’s office more efficient and pleasant for patients. You’ll ensure excellent customer service and lift administrative and basic dental tasks off the dentist’s shoulders. Dental assistants should be well-organized with great attention to detail.
