Registered Dental Assistant skilled in surgical support, radiography, and patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a Registered Dental Assistant with hands-on experience across clinical dentistry, radiography, and patient support—especially in high-acuity surgical environments. In my current role as a Surgical Assistant with Kingsway Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, I assist during complex oral procedures such as orthognathic surgery, TMJ arthroscopies, open joint surgery, implants, and extractions, while maintaining strict aseptic technique.
Previously, I supported comprehensive chairside care at Sherwood Dental and Cameron Dental, including cleanings (scaling/polish/fluoride/OHI), frenectomy assistance, iTero scanning for bruxism appliances and Invisalign, and assisting with RCT, crown/bridge preparations, fillings, implant crown inserts, and extractions. I also bring strong operational skills from Reception/ Sterilization Technician work—scheduling through Dentrix, completing insurance claim forms, and ensuring sterilization records and operatory setup/turnover are consistently ready for treatment.
