- Provide chairside support: Assist our dentists and hygienists during a variety of private dental procedures, keeping patient comfort your top priority.
- Manage your surgery: Prepare treatment rooms, sterilize instruments, maintain equipment, and take/develop digital x-rays.
- Welcome our patients: Run the reception desk by answering phone calls, greeting patients, managing appointments, and handling administrative tasks.
- Keep impeccable records: Maintain accurate patient documentation and digital files within our dental software.
What You Bring:
