Description

Dental Assistant needed for a busy office in the Western Branch area of Chesapeake, VA. ABOUT US: We are friendly, support each other, and work as a team in a laid-back family atmosphere. We have digital x-rays and 8 rooms---3 hygiene rooms, 4 doctor chairs, and 1 overflow room. We are a 2 doctors practice. The owner, Dr. Edenfield, is fast paced but easy going and fun to work with. You will learn a lot of random facts, especially about food and music! He has another practice in Tennessee so he is only here every other week. Dr. Peeples, our full time associate, is slower but also laid back and easy to work with. We are open Monday through Thursday. You will be starting your shift at 7:30am and working until about 5 pm-sometimes we get out a little early and sometimes a little late! We also have an hour for lunch from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm. We have a fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. We mostly do composite fillings, extractions, crowns and build ups, some root canals, and occasional partials/dentures. We have digital X-rays and a digital impression scanner. Very rarely, we run an assisted hygiene schedule. We use Softdent as our dental software. If you have not used this, it is fairly easy to learn and we will be happy to teach you. ABOUT YOU: Being x-ray certified is a MUST, and hopefully you know a lot about dentistry and assisting! Please be hard-working, friendly, and reliable. As an assistant, you will be setting up rooms, assisting the doctors, cleaning up after procedures, and helping in sterilization. You will also make temporary crowns. When it is slow we help organize/clean up around the office and if you are interested, can be cross trained at the front desk. Let us know if you have any questions!
