Description

Are you a true RAY OF SUNSHINE? Are you a REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT who is tired of the insurance grind and the cattle call mentality that many offices seem to have? Are you seeking Work - Life Balance? Have you been intrigued to learn the biological approaches to dentistry where a dental assistant can make a true difference? Are you an outside-the-box thinker who would love to try a different approach? Is your philosophical bent one that leans toward medical freedom of choice? If so, Our office is growing. We currently have 4 full-time dental assistants but are busy enough that we need a 5th one to ensure we run smoothly. We are a Rapidly Growing Holistic Family Dental Practice in the Spring/North Houston area Seeking a Dental ASSISTANT with an OPEN MIND, a WARM HEART, and a STRONG WORK ETHIC. For the right candidate, we offer 1. Health insurance, 2. 401K benefits, 3. Profit sharing, 4. Paid time off, 5. Paid uniforms and 6. Paid CE 7. AFLAC pre-tax benefits 8. Paid travel and meals for CE. Our office is open 5 days per week but no team member works more than 4 days per week. We believe in work life balance and try very hard to balance our work with our personal lives. Office hours are from 7:30-5 pm. Our huddle starts promptly at 7:40 am, and we begin seeing patients at 8 am. The last patient is generally seated at 3 - 3:30 pm. We are NOT the office that will ask you to see a patient every 15 minutes. Our doctors and hygienists typically see about 6 patients per day. We generally work 4 days per week, though sometimes we may work 5 days for several weeks if there is a major holiday coming up and we are making up for the time we will take off. Our goal is actually to see patients 16-17 days per month. Each assistant is responsible for approximately 4 patients per day, supporting their fellow assistants in the times when they are not with a patient themselves. The right candidate will have the following qualifications: 1. WE HIRE FOR DISC PERSONALITY MATCHES! So if you are interested and have not yet filled out the assessments that Dental Post offers, please fill those out before you apply for this dream job! 2. We ask for a minimum of 1 year of experience in hands-on dental assisting. 3. Ability to handle very young children to very old people. Our OFFICE is a TRUE FAMILY DENTISTRY general practice, and we see all ages, from birth to very old age, and special needs patients as well. Excellent clinical ability and very gentle hand skills and a personality that is pure sunshine are obvious desirable traits! 4. Experience with Dentrix practice management software - especially charting, documenting, "pre-treatment” planning, etc., is a definite plus! 5. Experience with high-tech dentistry. We are a paperless office -- from the Dental Intel online/computer paperwork system to digital x-rays to CBCT, to intraoral camera documentation to CEREC, to the STA anesthesia system, to the Fotona Lightwalker lasers and ozone used for both surgical and non-surgical and periodontal uses. All of our charting and patient notes are done on the computer, all patient documents are scanned. 7. Extensive Experience educating and discussing necessary treatment with patients. Please note -- ours is an office that has a VERY STRONG holistic bent -- as in -- we believe the mouth is the window to the rest of the body. It can tell us more about a patient's overall health than the actual patient knows. The successful candidate will embrace this philosophy of the whole health being tied to the health of the oral environment. We believe in the power of nutrition, and we are airway centered in our approach. You do not have to have this experience to be an assistant in our office. We are happy to teach you! 8. Knowledge and understanding of airway-centered dentistry is a definite plus! Our office is an airway-centered biological dentistry office. So finding a dental assistant who understands airways is definitely a good thing. However, it is not mandatory. Again, we are always happy to teach you! The key is an open mind. 9. Intimate knowledge of dentistry and excellent verbal skills in converting it to plain English (or Spanish!). The successful candidate will be able to explain oral conditions and dentistry to their patients in plain English (Spanish is a plus, but not mandatory), and be able to communicate to them the urgency of the need for treatment. 10. Ready and available professional references from previous employers and coworkers to affirm your ultimate integrity and ethical standards. 11. True team player in every sense of the word. This is important. Every team member has jurisdictions in our office, and we all help each other. Even the doctors will pitch in where necessary. It is part of our office culture. 12. Great phone skills, relationship builder, multi-tasked, highly organized, goal-oriented, detail oriented. 13. HABLAR ESPAÑOL es deseable pero no mandatorio. Tenemos muchos pacientes hispanos y necesitamos a una persona honrada y honesta que hable, lea, escriba, y entienda bien el español. If you feel that you are a great fit for our team, we would love to continue our conversations! We are not in a hurry to hire just anyone. We are looking for the right fit, as our team members become our family, and are long-term employees. Our goal is to grow old together in a stable, nurturing environment. We look forward to hearing from you! Please send your resume and cover letter introducing yourself to the dental post messaging app. Thank you! Sincerely, Our Team
