What are the responsibilities and job description for the Orthodontic Dental Assistant(willing to train) position at Light Dental Studios?
At Light Dental Studios, you’ll be part of one of the largest and most advanced dental practices in Washington—while still working in a privately owned, patient-first environment that actually invests in your growth.
We’re hiring an Orthodontic Dental Assistant who wants to work in a fast-paced, high-quality setting where your skills are valued and your career can move forward. Light Dental Studios is a long-standing, locally rooted dental practice proudly serving the Puyallup community for decades.

Technology and options are at our forefront for our patients, our 3 board certified orthodontists, and our team members. We utilize a fully digital workflow from patient managment software, digital imaging, and multiple iTero scanners of the newest models. We also utlize a 3D printer. Whatever it is that makes for the best outcome and easiest workflow.
We believe in building careers, not just filling positions. At Light Dental Studios, we promote exclusively from within. If you are hardworking, compassionate, and driven to grow, the opportunity for long-term advancement, including leadership and management roles, is truly yours for the taking.
