Description
Be part of a legacy of care.
At Hudec Dental, dentistry is more than clinical work — it’s about creating genuine connections and delivering care that makes patients feel like family. Since 1977, we’ve been 100% family owned and 100% family operated. For more than 40 years, Hudec Dental has remained a family practice in every sense — family-owned, family-driven, and focused on treating patients like our own family.
Founded by Dr. John Hudec, who once did it all — from patient coordinator to dental assistant to doctor — our practice was built on humility, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to people. That legacy lives on today in every smile we help create.
We’re looking for a Dental Assistant who shares those same values — someone who is compassionate, dependable, and team-oriented, with a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and cared for.

What We Offer

- Growth: Career development and advancement opportunities within our practice
- Support: A strong team culture with training, mentorship, and leadership support
- Innovation: Modern technology and equipment to enhance your work
