Lead Dental Assistant

We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and highly organized Lead Dental Assistant to join our team.

We are a well-established, family-owned dental practice focused on providing exceptional dentistry in a welcoming and caring environment. As our practice continues to grow, we are looking for someone who wants to grow with us and take an important leadership role within our clinical team.

This is more than a chairside assisting position. Our Lead Dental Assistant will work closely with our doctors while helping oversee the organization, efficiency, and day-to-day operations of the clinical department.

Responsibilities

• Lead, support, and help train our dental assisting team
• Provide experienced and efficient chairside assistance
• Anticipate doctors' needs and help maintain smooth patient flow
• Ensure operatories are properly prepared, stocked, and organized
• Oversee sterilization and infection-control protocols
• Manage clinical inventory, supplies, and ordering
• Coordinate lab cases and equipment maintenance
• Help establish and maintain consistent clinical systems and protocols
• Identify opportunities to improve organization and efficiency
• Promote accountability, teamwork, and exceptional patient care

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

• Has 3–5+ years of dental assisting experience
• Has strong chairside and clinical skills
• Has previous leadership experience or is ready to step into a leadership role
• Is organized, dependable, and detail-oriented
• Takes initiative and sees what needs to be done
• Can confidently and respectfully lead a team
• Communicates well with doctors, team members, and patients
• Remains calm and solution-oriented in a busy environment
• Takes pride in creating an organized and efficient clinical department
• Is looking for a long-term position and an opportunity to grow

Experience with Eaglesoft, digital scanning, implants, oral surgery, crown and bridge, cosmetic dentistry, and Invisalign is a plus.

We believe the people who work with us are an important part of what makes our practice successful. You’ll be part of a positive, supportive team that’s committed to excellence in patient care and creating a collaborative work environment. We value growth, respect, and a shared passion for making a difference in people’s lives.

We are looking for someone who wants to build with us, not simply work for us.

If you are an experienced dental assistant ready to take the next step into a meaningful leadership role, we would love to meet you. If you're looking for a rewarding role where your contributions truly matter, we’d love to hear from you! Please submit your resume along with a brief note about why this opportunity excites you—we can’t wait to meet the right person to grow with us.
