We’re looking for someone who is confident in their clinical skills, works well as part of a team, and takes pride in providing excellent patient care. If you’re looking for a practice where you can feel supported, appreciated, and part of a team - not just another employee - we’d love to meet you.

• Provide patients with a warm, comfortable, and positive experience
• Communicate clearly with patients and team members
• Keep operatories stocked, organized, and ready for the day
• Assist with maintaining an efficient clinical schedule
• Support the doctor and hygiene team as needed
• Follow practice protocols while maintaining a high standard of patient care

What We’re Looking For

• Expanded Functions Dental Assistant certification/credentials as applicable
• Previous dental assisting experience
• Strong understanding of dental terminology and procedures
• Comfortable working independently while also being a team player
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Dependable, organized, and detail-oriented
• Someone who takes initiative and sees what needs to be done
• A positive attitude and willingness to help wherever needed
• Someone who genuinely enjoys working with patients and being part of a team

Why Park Smiles?

At Park Smiles Dentistry, we believe that the people we work with matter just as much as the work we do. We want our team members to feel respected, supported, and valued.

We’re not looking for someone who simply wants to clock in and clock out. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, treats patients and teammates with kindness, and believes in always doing the right thing.

If that sounds like the kind of practice you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you!

We look forward to meeting you!
