Our office is a busy, family-oriented orthodontic and pediatric dental practice. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, is comfortable in a fast-paced environment, and can stay organized while handling multiple responsibilities at once.

The ideal candidate is someone who:

Has previous receptionist, front desk, or clerical experience

Is comfortable with computers and able to learn new software quickly
Is neat, organized, and detail-oriented
Can multitask while remaining calm and friendly

Dental office experience is strongly preferred. Experience submitting dental insurance claims is a major plus.

Typical responsibilities

You will help greet patients and families, answer phones, schedule and confirm appointments, work with patient information in our computer system, assist with dental insurance and claims, collect and record payments, and help keep the front desk running smoothly throughout the day.

Some days are very busy and require constant multitasking; other times are quieter. We are looking for someone who can stay productive, organized, and helpful in both environments.

Our typical workday begins at 8:30 AM and finishes around 5:30 PM, with a lunch break from 1:00–2:00 PM. Some days may run slightly later depending on the patient schedule.
