Advanced Diagnostics: Utilizing the latest technology to take and develop dental radiographs (x-rays) and maintaining meticulous digital records.

Proactive Care: Educating patients on preventive measures to achieve optimal oral health and helping them make informed decisions about their treatment.

Operational Integrity: Maintaining a sterile, safe environment in accordance with infection control protocols and managing clinical inventory to ensure seamless daily operations.

What We Are Looking For:

Certifications: High school diploma/equivalent; X-ray certification required; CPR certification and completion of an accredited dental assisting program preferred.

Expertise: Proven experience in a dental or healthcare setting with a strong grasp of dental terminology and modern instrumentation.

The "Fox Chapel" Touch: Exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to make patients feel like family.

Growth Mindset: A commitment to continual education and staying informed on the newest techniques and equipment in modern dentistry.

Precision: Strong organizational skills and sharp attention to detail in a fast-paced clinical setting.

Competitive Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour (based on experience).

Supportive Culture: A collaborative, professional atmosphere where your growth is encouraged.

Innovation: Access to the latest dental advancements and an onsite dental lab.
