Dr. Lance Vander Giessen is seeking to hire a full-time dental assistant for Mondays through Thursdays. We are available for job sharing with multiple assistants or a single full-time opportunity.
Would you like to work in a positive dental environment where you can feel proud of the contributions you make and are recognized, and compensated for your efforts? As a full-time dental assistant at this practice, you can expect the following:
Pay will be a competitive hourly wage – DOE – ranging from $20-$30 per hour
Paid in-office dental care
Medical insurance amount of $550 per month
Vacation, well pay, holiday pay
Simple IRA retirement matching program
Air Purifiers throughout the office and in each treatment room
The ideal candidate will exhibit reliability and trustworthiness while helping with dental services, paying close attention to patient needs, and discussing treatment options to help patients in their decision-making process. Daily duties will include assisting Dr. Vander Giessen (fillings, crowns, extractions, root canals, etc.), radiographs, help with limited and comprehensive exams, child prophies, helping with periodontal chartings (we always help the hygienists), clinical notes, room turnover, sterilization, and smiling. We would welcome an Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary (EFDA) and the additional skills that training allows.
We are a one dentist practice with a dedicated staff that puts a high priority on teamwork, professionalism, and excellence in dentistry. We are mostly a paperless office and are utilizing many aspects of our patient software program. A strong experience with Dentrix is highly preferred.
Most days we have 2 staff in the front office, 2 dental hygienists, and 3 dental assistants to utilize our 5 treatment rooms. Very excitingly, we have an office space that is about four years old and almost completely furnished with A-dec equipment - including our operator chairs, patient chairs, delivery units, overhead lights, sterilization area, and mechanical room.
Please drop off your resume and contact information at our office with Shawna, Beverly, or Rita in our front office during business hours at your earliest convenience (M-TH: 8-5).
