Dental Assistant – Experience Welcome, Paid Training Available
Experienced dental assistant—or interested in beginning a hands-on career in dentistry? We’d love to meet you.
Acacia Lane Dental is seeking a full-time Dental Assistant to join our established three-dentist practice in Rhinelander. We have a newly remodeled office and a friendly, experienced team that works hard, supports one another, and takes pride in providing excellent patient care.
Previous dental assisting experience is welcomed and valued, but it is not required. For someone who is dependable, kind, organized, and eager to learn, we are willing to provide paid, hands-on training.

What You’ll Do
- Welcome patients and help them feel comfortable throughout their visits
- Prepare treatment rooms, instruments, and materials
- Assist our dentists chairside during a variety of procedures
- Take dental radiographs after training
- Follow sterilization and infection-control procedures
- Assist with charting, documentation, and patient communication

Experience in healthcare, caregiving, hospitality, customer service, or another fast-paced, people-focused role may transfer especially well to dental assisting.
You will not be expected to know everything on your first day. We are looking for someone who is dependable, engaged, open to guidance and feedback, and excited to steadily build their skills as a member of our team.
Who We’re Looking For
- Dependable and consistent
- Warm, professional, and comfortable working closely with patients
- Organized and attentive to details
