We treat staff and patients like family, and recommend the same treatment we would for our own.

Why you should join our group:

Our atmosphere is curious, open, safe, and creative — within the discipline of delivering excellent dental care on time. This is a place where growth-mindset people flourish: we celebrate the willingness to try, learn, and even fail in pursuit of mastery. Team members frequently say the days fly by because they are engaged and constantly developing new skills.

  • Educate, motivate, and reassure patients throughout treatment
Required experience and qualifications:
  • College degree
  • Minimum 2 years of dental assisting experience
  • Strong hand skills and spatial-relationship perception
  • Background in athletics, or hobbies like drawing, painting, or crafts, is a plus
Preferred soft skills and personality traits:
