About Rising Sky Dental

Rising Sky Dental is a privately owned dental practice led by a solo doctor with a close-knit team and four operatories. We believe in quality dentistry, personalized patient care, and creating a positive environment for both our patients and our team.

We’re not a corporate dental mill. We’re a smaller, team-oriented practice where people know each other, communication matters, and everyone plays an important role in the success of the office.

We’re looking for an experienced Dental Assistant who takes pride in their work, enjoys connecting with patients, and wants to be part of a practice where their contributions are recognized and valued.

About the Position

We’re seeking a dependable, motivated, and skilled Dental Assistant to work alongside the doctor and support the daily clinical operations of our practice. Ideally, you have at least one year of dental assisting experience and are comfortable providing efficient chairside assistance while helping patients feel relaxed and well cared for.

We value team members who take initiative, anticipate the doctor's needs, pay attention to detail, and understand that a great dental experience goes beyond the clinical procedure.

Responsibilities

• Provide chairside assistance during a variety of dental procedures.
• Prepare and maintain treatment rooms, instruments, and equipment.
• Follow appropriate sterilization, infection control, and safety protocols.
• Take dental radiographs as permitted by applicable state requirements and credentials.
• Help patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their appointments.
• Maintain accurate patient charts and clinical documentation.
• Keep operatories organized, clean, and properly stocked.
• Anticipate the doctor's needs and help appointments run smoothly and efficiently.
• Communicate effectively with the doctor and the rest of the team.
• Contribute to a welcoming, professional, and positive office atmosphere.

Qualifications

• At least one year of dental assisting experience preferred.
• Knowledge of dental terminology, instruments, procedures, and infection control.
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional demeanor.
• Dependable, organized, and attentive to detail.
• Ability to work efficiently and anticipate clinical needs.
• Positive attitude and willingness to support the team.
• Required radiography certification and other credentials in accordance with applicable state regulations.

We’re especially interested in an assistant who can bring experience and confidence to the role while continuing to learn and grow with our practice.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive pay: $22–$34 per hour, based on experience, skills, and capabilities.
• Four-day workweek: Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.
• Paid time off: Time away from work to recharge.
• Paid sick days: Support when you need time to recover.
• SIMPLE IRA with employer match: An opportunity to save for retirement with employer contributions.
• Close-knit team: Work directly with a solo doctor in a privately owned, four-operatory practice.
• Quality-focused environment: Be part of a practice that values patient relationships, teamwork, and doing things right rather than simply maximizing patient volume.

Who We're Looking For

The right person for Rising Sky Dental is someone who genuinely enjoys dentistry, takes ownership of their work, and treats patients and teammates with respect. You understand the importance of being prepared, staying organized, and helping the day run smoothly.

If you appreciate the atmosphere of a smaller private practice, want a consistent Monday-through-Thursday schedule, and are looking for compensation that reflects your experience and abilities, we’d love to meet you.
