Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA)

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant | EFDA | Part Time Tuesday-Thursday

Meister Dental Group | Harrison, OH

Meister Dental Group is looking for an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant to join our growing practice. This position is in our Harrison, OH office, and would cover the following hours:
Tues: 8a-5p
Wed: 7:30a-5p
Thurs: 7:30a-3:30p

At Meister Dental Group, the EFDA is more than an assistant. You are a trusted clinical partner, a patient comfort champion, and one of the steady hands that helps the day run smoothly. You help create the experience patients remember: organized care, clear communication, kind support, and a team that works together with purpose.
This role is a great fit for someone who is clinically skilled, positive, dependable, and ready to be part of a team that takes patient care seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Why this role matters
A great dental visit does not happen by accident. It takes preparation, teamwork, attention to detail, and a clinical team that knows how to keep the day moving while still making each patient feel cared for.
As an EFDA, you will support the doctor chairside, place restorations within your scope, help maintain excellent clinical flow, and make sure patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their visit. You are part technician, part teammate, part patient translator, and part calm-in-the-chair wizard.

What You’ll Do
Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Assisting the doctor during a variety of dental procedures
• Placing restorations and performing EFDA duties within your licensed scope of practice
• Preparing treatment rooms, instruments, materials, and equipment for procedures
• Supporting efficient patient flow and helping the clinical team stay on schedule
• Taking necessary records, radiographs, impressions, or scans as needed and permitted by training/certification
• Educating patients on treatment, post-op instructions, and oral health recommendations
• Helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and cared for from start to finish
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation
• Following infection control, OSHA, HIPAA, and practice safety standards
• Sterilizing instruments and maintaining clean, organized clinical spaces
• Communicating clearly with doctors, hygienists, assistants, front office team members, and leadership
• Supporting inventory awareness and helping ensure clinical supplies are ready when needed
• Jumping in where needed to support the team and the patient experience

What We’re Looking For
You may be a great fit if you have:

• Current EFDA certification/licensure in Ohio
• Dental assisting experience
• Radiology certification, if applicable
• Strong clinical skills and attention to detail
• A positive, professional, and service-oriented attitude
• The ability to stay organized in a busy clinical environment
• Strong communication skills with patients and team members
• A team-first mindset and willingness to help where needed
• Comfort using dental software and digital systems
• A dependable, patient-focused approach to your work

What We Offer

• Competitive pay
• Dental coverage for team members and immediate family
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Opportunities for professional growth and continued learning
• A supportive team environment where your clinical skills genuinely matter

Our Values
At Seva Dental Team, we are Driven by Purpose and Defined by Service. We believe great care starts with great teams, and great teams are built by people who show up for each other, solve problems, and take pride in the details.
Our core values guide how we work:

• Win as a Team

If you are an EFDA who loves patient care, takes pride in excellent clinical work, and wants to be part of a team that values both skill and kindness, we would love to meet you.
