Dental Assistant — Strong Pay for People Who Show Up and Work Hard
The Tender Dentist Woodland Hills, CA | Full-time
We’re looking for a dental assistant who is available, dependable, and proud of their work. If that’s you, we pay like it matters — because it does.
This office runs on people who are here when they’re scheduled, ready when the patient sits down, and willing to do the unglamorous work that keeps the day moving. We don’t take that for granted. We compensate for it.
What you’ll do
- Chairside assisting with four-handed dentistry
- Room setup, breakdown, sterilization, and restocking
- X-rays (if certified) and impressions as allowed
- Help keep the schedule on time — patients, trays, and docs ready
- Support the team wherever the day needs you (clinical and light front-desk as needed)
Who we’re looking for
This is the most important part of the ad.Schedule
Mon–Fri 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, paid OT to close up to 2 days a week
Tell us clearly which days and hours you can work. Availability is a hiring priority.
What we offer (how we show appreciation)
- Competitive pay: $32-36 /hour, based on experience, certifications, and proven reliability
- Pay that reflects the person who is actually here and actually working — not just the title
- Paid Holidays
- A team that notices who carries the day and treats that person accordingly
If you’ve been underpaid for being the reliable one, this is the opposite of that.
How to apply
Email tenderdentist@gmail.com with:
1. A short note on your available days/hours
2. Years of assisting experience and certifications
3. When you can start
Subject line: Dental Assistant — Available & Ready
We reply to people who are clear about their schedule. That’s on purpose.
The Tender Dentist is an equal opportunity employer.
- Availability: You can work our posted schedule consistently. Last-minute call-outs and “maybe I can come in” don’t work here. We need someone who treats the schedule as a commitment.
- Work ethic: You show up on time (early is better), stay until the last patient is done and the rooms are reset, and you don’t wait to be asked to restock, wipe down, or help a teammate.
- Pride in the job: You treat patients well, keep the operatory tight, and take ownership of your station.
- Experience preferred. X-ray cert required or strongly preferred. We’ll consider a strong trainee if availability and attitude are excellent.
