Permanent Dental Assistant Job

Hackensack, NJ

Job Description

Seeking a part time orthodontic assistant for 3 days a week. Mondays, Thursdays, two Fridays and 2 Saturdays a month.
Are you the type of person who loves transforming grins into full-on, contagious smiles? Do you believe that every child’s smile is a masterpiece waiting to be perfected? If you answered with a confident "yes!" then you might just be the magical addition we’re looking for at Smilekidz!
Why You'll Love It Here:
At Smilekidz, we're not your average dental office. We specialize in pediatric and orthodontic care, which means our days are filled with bright smiles, silly jokes, and a dash of braces! From early morning giggles to afternoon high-fives, we make sure every patient leaves with a smile on their face – and we need a special person to help us make that happen.
Your Day-to-Day Superpowers Will Include:
- Assisting with orthodontic procedures like placing brackets, adjusting wires, and making sure every kiddo feels like a rockstar.
- Keeping the clinic running smoothly by preparing treatment rooms, sterilizing instruments, and maintaining a happy, organized workspace.
- Offering TLC (tender loving care) to both patients and parents – from comforting nervous kiddos to explaining treatment plans in a way everyone can understand.
- Taking impressions, X-rays, and all those fun things that help us deliver top-notch orthodontic care.
What We're Looking For:
- Experience as an orthodontic assistant – bonus points if you’ve worked in orthodontics or pediatric care before!
- X-ray certification is a big plus.
- A team player with a can-do attitude and a great sense of humor – because we like to have fun while we work!
- A love for working with kids – we’re all about making the dental experience enjoyable and stress-free for our little patients.
- Someone organized, efficient, and reliable
Perks of Joining Our Team:
- Competitive salary
- A supportive, close-knit team that feels more like family than coworkers.
- The chance to work in a vibrant, kid-friendly environment where no two days are the same.
Ready to join a practice where every day is an opportunity to make a difference (and have a little fun while you’re at it)? We can’t wait to meet you!
