Are you a dental assistant who takes pride in exceptional artistry and white-glove patient care?
At our boutique cosmetic dental practice, every patient walks through our doors with a vision — and leaves with a smile that changes their life. We are a highly sought-after, aesthetics-focused private practice renowned for delivering the highest standard of cosmetic and restorative dentistry in the Portland metro area. We are seeking a skilled, polished, and passionate Dental Assistant to join our close-knit, high-performing team.
This is not your average dental office. If you thrive in a sophisticated, fast-paced environment where precision matters, relationships are everything, and excellence is the baseline — we want to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
• Provide expert chairside assistance for cosmetic procedures including porcelain veneers, full-mouth restorations, dental implants, Invisalign, and crown and bridge work
• Deliver a warm, elevated patient experience from the moment of arrival through completion of care
• Prepare, sterilize, and maintain clinical operatories and instrumentation to the highest infection-control standards
• Take high-quality digital X-rays, intraoral scans, and photographs to support precise treatment planning
• Assist with case presentations, supporting patients in understanding and committing to their treatment journey
• Collaborate seamlessly with the doctor and fellow team members to ensure every appointment runs with clinical precision and efficiency
• Maintain accurate patient records using our practice management software
What We’re Looking For:
• Minimum 2 years of dental assisting experience, with a strong preference for cosmetic or fee-for-service practice background
• Oregon Expanded Function Dental Assistant Registration and current Radiology certification required
• Experience with digital workflows (intraoral scanners, digital X-ray, CAD/CAM) is a strong plus
• Impeccable attention to detail and a genuine appreciation for aesthetic excellence
• A professional, composed, and empathetic chairside manner
• Ability to anticipate the doctor’s needs and work with quiet, confident efficiency
• A team-first attitude and a commitment to continuous learning and growth
What We Offer:
• Competitive compensation: $28–$34/hour, commensurate with skill or experience
• Health and dental benefits
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Continuing education allowance and paid CE days
• A stunning, modern office environment with the latest technology
• A collaborative, supportive team culture where your contributions are genuinely valued
• The opportunity to be part of something exceptional — every single day
This Is Your Practice If You Believe...
...that dentistry is an art form. That a patient’s smile is worth every ounce of care and precision you bring to it. And that the best teams are built on mutual respect, shared pride in their work, and a relentless commitment to doing things right.
