What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-focused dental role where I can provide chairside support, manage reception duties, and contribute to a collaborative clinical team while continuing to build my clinical skills.

I am a motivated and compassionate Dental Assistant with hands-on experience supporting dental and orthodontic procedures, managing reception duties, and maintaining a welcoming patient environment. I prioritize patient comfort and efficient clinical support while ensuring strict infection control and instrument sterilization.

My background includes dental chair assisting, preparing and sterilizing instruments, taking preliminary oral health exams, and coordinating equipment servicing and inventory. I have also performed reception and administrative tasks—answering calls and emails, scheduling, data entry, and general front-desk hospitality—gained working in both clinical and hotel environments.

I hold diplomas in Dental Assisting and Hospitality Management and certifications in basic German and computer applications. I bring multitasking ability, knowledge of dental and medical terminology, four-handed dentistry experience, and a strong track record of reliable patient-facing service.
