Expanded Functions Dental Assistant - Restorative Dentistry

Hilltown Dental · Chesterfield, MO
Full-time · Monday–Thursday · Approximately 40 hours per week
$28–$32 per hour, based on experience and applicable Missouri EFDA permits

Hilltown Dental is looking for an experienced Expanded Functions Dental Assistant to work alongside Dr. Andrew Bruening in our privately owned Chesterfield practice.

If you enjoy restorative dentistry and like being the person who knows what a case needs before the patient sits down, we’d love to meet you. You’ll assist on everything from esthetic composite bonding and crowns to full-mouth rehabilitation cases that span several visits. Occlusion and splint therapy are part of how we care for patients, and we use intraoral scans and clinical photography to plan cases. We also mill and 3D print provisionals in-house, and we’ll teach you how we use those tools in our day-to-day workflow.

What you’ll do

• Assist Dr. Andrew chairside on restorative cases, including longer appointments and treatment that spans several visits.
• Review upcoming cases and make sure rooms, instruments, materials, and case records are ready before the patient arrives.
• Help capture intraoral scans and clinical photos, support the in-house provisional workflow, and make sure the team knows what’s needed before the next visit.
• Help patients feel comfortable and reinforce what to expect after treatment and at their next appointment.
• Perform expanded functions delegated by the dentist within your Missouri permit categories.
• Keep treatment rooms stocked and organized, help monitor clinical supplies, and pitch in with room turnover, sterilization, and clinical coverage as needed.

What we’re looking for

• An active Missouri EFDA permit ideally in both Restorative I & Restorative II and experience assisting chairside with restorative dentistry.
• Someone who anticipates what’s needed during an appointment, keeps track of details across visits, and communicates clearly with patients and teammates.
• Experience with intraoral scanning, clinical photography, provisionals, and implant restorations is a plus.
