Registered Dental Assistant

About Us

We are a modern, patient-focused private dental practice with five operatories. Our office uses efficient digital workflows, including an in-house Medit intraoral scanner, to provide high-quality patient care.

We are building a strong, supportive, and drama-free team centered around three core values: adaptability, hustle, and taking initiative. We are seeking a motivated Registered Dental Assistant who shares these values and wants to grow with our practice long-term.

Responsibilities

  • Provide chairside assistance for general dentistry, crowns, extractions, and other procedures
  • Assist with implant procedures when needed; previous implant experience is a plus
  • Take digital impressions using a Medit intraoral scanner
  • Scan patients for crowns, bridges, and other restorative cases
  • Prepare and break down treatment rooms
  • Follow sterilization and infection-control protocols
  • Take diagnostic dental X-rays
  • Educate patients and help them feel comfortable throughout their visits
  • Anticipate the needs of the doctor and team
  • Take initiative and help support an efficient daily workflow
  • Adapt to changing schedules, priorities, and office needs

Requirements

  • Active California RDA license
  • At least one year of dental assisting experience preferred
  • Comfortable with digital dentistry
  • Experience with intraoral scanners—Medit preferred—or a strong willingness to learn
  • Flexible and open to learning, growing, and continually expanding clinical knowledge and skills
  • Adaptable and able to respond positively to changes in workflow and priorities
  • Strong work ethic with a willingness to hustle during busy days
  • Self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative without needing constant direction
  • Strong communication, punctuality, and teamwork
  • Positive, dependable, and patient-focused
  • Flexibility to work occasional Saturdays when needed
  • RDAEF certification is a plus but not required

Compensation and Benefits

  • $24–$32 per hour, depending on experience
  • Full-time or part-time opportunities
  • Dental insurance
  • Flexible schedule
  • On-the-job training
  • Opportunities for advancement
  • Opportunity for raises and performance-based bonuses
  • Modern equipment and efficient systems
  • Supportive owner-doctor in a private-practice environment

We are looking for someone who wants more than just a job—someone who is ready to contribute, take ownership of their role, expand their skills, and grow alongside the practice.

Pay: $24.00 - $32.00 per hour

Benefits:

  • Dental insurance
  • Free parking
  • On-the-job training
