Registered Dental Assistant in Extended Functions (RDAEF)

Use your full RDAEF license, not just part of it.

Care Dental is a growing practice in Huntington Park, led by Dr. Bradley Salvatore, a UCLA-trained, surgically trained general dentist. Most of our work is dental implants, All-on-X full-arch cases, full-mouth rehabilitation, extractions and bone grafting. We also do orthodontics and everyday family care. We want an RDAEF who will use their whole scope and wants to grow into the surgical side of dentistry.

What you'll do

• Place, contour, finish and adjust direct restorations after Dr. Bradley preps the tooth
• Do cord retraction, final impressions and digital scans for crowns, bridges and implant restorations
• Fit, adjust and cement permanent indirect restorations
• Size and fit endodontic master points
• Do preliminary oral-health evaluations and charting
• Assist chairside on implants, All-on-X, extractions and bone grafts: sterile setup, instrument flow, and keeping patients calm
• Take digital X-rays, CBCT 3D scans and intraoral scans; make temporaries
• Explain post-op care to patients in plain words, in Spanish when you can
• Keep infection control, sterilization and OSHA standards high

What we're looking for

• Active California RDAEF license in good standing
• Current BLS/CPR
• 2+ years of chairside experience as an RDA or RDAEF. Newly licensed RDAEFs with strong RDA experience are welcome.
• Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred, since most of our patients speak Spanish
• Calm hands and a calm voice. Many of our patients are nervous, and some haven't seen a dentist in years.
• Implant or surgical assisting experience is a plus, but we'll train the right person

Why you'll like it here

• Real scope and real growth: you'll learn implant and full-arch work from a dentist who focuses on it
• Modern tools: CBCT 3D imaging, digital intraoral scanner, cloud practice software
• Thursdays and Sundays off, every week
• Paid time off and paid sick time
• Employee dental discount
• Free parking
• A small, close team that listens to your ideas

Schedule: Monday–Wednesday and Friday 9am–6pm, Saturday 9am–2pm. Every Thursday and Sunday off.
