Part-Time Dental Assistant| Sweet Tooth Dentistry Valencia
Valencia, CA | Part-time |
Who we are:
Sweet Tooth Dentistry Valencia is a wellness-focused general dentistry practice. We believe the mouth is a window to the body, and we treat the whole patient, not just the tooth. Our team is known for comprehensive exams, clear aligner orthodontics, cosmetic bonding and smile design, and appointments that never feel rushed.
If you've worked in offices where the schedule is packed so tight you can't set up a room properly or connect with a patient, this will feel different. We take our time because good dentistry requires it.
What you'll do:
- Assist chairside during restorative, cosmetic, and clear aligner appointments.
- Set up and break down operatories, and keep sterilization running smoothly.
- Take X-rays and intraoral photos and scans.
- Help patients feel informed and at ease, before, during, and after treatment.
- Support the doctor and team so the day flows well for everyone.
What we're looking for:
- Current RDA license, or DA with X-ray safety certification and a plan toward RDA.
- Current coronal polish certification is a plus.
- At least 1 year of chairside experience preferred; newer assistants with the right attitude are welcome to apply.
- Gentle hands and a calm presence, especially with anxious patients.
- Genuine interest in learning; experience or curiosity about clear aligners and cosmetic dentistry is a plus.
- Reliable, organized, and a team player who notices what needs doing.
What you can expect from us:
- A doctor who mentors and explains, not just delegates.
- A practice philosophy centered on ethics, education, and patient wellness, not production quotas.
- A schedule that respects your time; part-time here means part-time.
- Competitive hourly pay based on experience and licensure.
- Benefits for part-time team members: dental care for you and your family, CE support, paid sick time, PTO, Holiday Pay, and Savings plan.
