  You’ll work hard, live well, and still make it to that yoga class or weekend getaway.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance, plus so much more!
  Protect your health, your teeth, your vision—and yes, even your sanity—with benefits built for real life.
• Up to 3 weeks PTO 6 Paid Holidays
  Vacations, staycations, or just well-earned lazy days—you’ll have the time (and encouragement) to enjoy them.
• 401(k) Program
  Smart moves now = easy breezy future. Let’s make sure you’re winning at every stage.
• Fun, team-first culture
  Support isn’t just lip service here—it’s baked into the way we work, celebrate, and show up for each other daily.

What You’ll Do:  

Sure, you’ll be charting, setting up operatories, and perfecting your ‘dental chair ninja’ moves—but more importantly, we need someone who knows how to show up with heart, help wherever needed, and make patients feel like they’re in the best hands possible. 

• Provide empathetic chair-side support to our Dentist and Hygienists, including charting and patient education
  You’ll be the calm in the chaos, the friendly face patients trust, and the right hand our providers can’t live without.
• Ensure smooth patient flow and maintain a welcoming, efficient operatory
  Think of yourself as the behind-the-scenes magic maker—keeping the schedule on time and the vibes on point.
• Take and process X-rays
  You'll capture the perfect shots (no awkward selfies here) to help our team diagnose and deliver top-notch care.
• Maintain accurate records and treatment plans per Dentist’s instructions
  You’re part detective, part scribe—making sure every chart tells the real story and every treatment plan is spot-on.
• Keep operatories and equipment clean and sterilized
  Because sparkling rooms and squeaky-clean tools aren’t just nice—they’re the secret sauce of top-tier care.
• Track and prepare lab cases in advance of daily schedules
  You’ll be two steps ahead—so crowns, appliances, and cases are ready to shine exactly when we need them.

What We’re Looking For: 

We’re looking for that rare combo: someone with hustle, heart, and a hunger to grow. You’ve got your Dental Assistant certification (or you're working on it), X-ray know-how, and maybe a coronal polish in your back pocket—but what really sets you apart? You care. About people. About patients. About doing great work with great teammates. You jump in without being asked, keep the vibes positive, and you’re always leveling up, both professionally and personally. 

• Compassionate, strong attention to detail, warm demeanor, and a love for working with others
• A team player who’s ready to jump in, help, and make patients feel at ease
• Florida Dental Assisting Registration
• High school diploma or equivalent
• X-ray Certification (or ability to obtain promptly)
• Coronal polishing and Nitrous Oxide certification preferred

You bring the passion, drive, and heart—we’ll bring the growth, purpose, and people who have your back.
