As an essential member of our office, you will also help facilitate/coordinate other office responsibilities as needed.

You are a resourceful dental assistant who loves helping patients receive the experience they deserve and helps the Dentist provide it. You’re excited by the prospect of a patient leaving your office healthier, stronger, and happier each day. You’re a kind, passionate, and collaborative problem‑solver who proactively adjusts to shifting priorities and values the chance to make an important impact.

We strive to build and maintain an environment where employees from all backgrounds are valued, respected, and have the opportunity to succeed.
