What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a patient-centered dental team where I can strengthen chairside skills, stay current with modern tech, and grow toward becoming an RDA. I thrive in a safe, organized practice with clear mentorship.

I’m a Certified Dental Assistant committed to helping patients feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for from check-in through post-op follow-up. I maintain strict infection control, sterilize and set up treatment rooms, and support dentists during procedures while keeping safety first.

I bring hands-on experience with chairside workflows including X-rays, impressions, crowns, implants, CEREC machine support, fillings, extractions, bone grafts, and intraoral photos. I also manage schedules and patient records using electronic systems, while handling inventory and keeping the office organized and compliant with OSHA and HIPAA.

I’m cross-trained for front and back support and I’m currently in the process of becoming an RDA. I enjoy working as part of a team—assisting with anesthesia or nitrous oxide under direction, mentoring new assistants, and educating patients on preventive care and aftercare.
