Job Description

Why pay thousands for dental assisting school… when you can get paid to learn instead?

Dental Assistant Trainee — Paid On-the-Job Training Program (Summer-Fall 2026)

Lawson, MO | Full-Time | No Experience Required


Feel part of a dental team from Day 1.
Why learn on nights and weekends when you could be fully immersed in a modern dental office — working side-by-side with a team that’s invested in your growth?

We’re hiring two motivated, people-focused individuals to join our 90-day On-the-Job Dental Assistant Training Program.
You’ll be trained using the same curriculum taught in formal assisting schools — but here, you get paid to learn.


What You’ll Get:

  • A full-time, paid training role — no tuition, no student loans
  • ️‍ Real mentorship from skilled assistants and dentists
  • Hands-on experience from Day 1
  • ️ Exposure to up-to-date procedures, technology, and clinical systems
  • Rotating training in hygiene and restorative care to broaden your skill set
  • A clear growth path with evaluations at 30, 60, and 90 days


You’ll thrive here if you:

  • Are dependable and eager to learn
  • Want to be part of a tight-knit, purpose-driven team
  • Love helping people feel cared for and confident
  • Are looking for a career, not just a job


The Future is Bright:
At the end of 90 days, we’ll evaluate each trainee’s clinical growth, coachability, and cultural fit. Trainees who shine may be offered a permanent position on our dental team.
