Dental Assistant/Patient Relations Coordinator

Waterford Dental Team is growing, and we’re looking for a cross-trained pro who can do two things really well:

1. support great dentistry chairside, and

2. make patients feel taken care of from “hi!” to “you’re all set.”

If you’re a Dental Assistant who’s also interested in the front-office/business side (or already great at it), this role is for you. You’ll be the calm, capable connector between our patients and our practice. The person who can reassure a nervous patient and keep the schedule from turning into a puzzle missing three pieces. 🧩

Prior dental experience is required. This is a fast-paced, people-facing role where details matter and kindness matters more.

• Collect payments for procedures performed and assist with past-due balances respectfully

• Assist hygienists and doctors with charting
