The Opportunity

This is a very unique opportunity to work on a great team doing meaningful work in a beautiful space. We are a new dental practice in Wheat Ridge-NW Denver looking for two dental assistants (and also front office and soon a hygienist). This is 2 years in the making and a lot of excitement behind our vision. In addition to most general dentistry services, we are pioneering and implementing new techniques and treatments in airway and integrative dentistry (nutrition, inflammation, microbiome health, TMJ, pain, occlusion, airway, breathing, sleep) as well as full mouth reconstruction with implants and/or natural teeth (see www.3on6.com). We are passionate about our mission, our practice and the life-changing impact we have on our patients. We will be providing education in integrative dentistry as well as on-the-job training in oral surgery, implants and advanced dentistry of all kinds. An added perk is that we are just finishing up brand new construction, it is truly a gorgeous space with lots of natural materials and light, together with all new equipment, technology and materials. And if you like good music, good coffee, good team, you’ve come to the right place.

Experience with all things general dentistry, digital dentistry, implants and oral surgery preferred. Experience with airway and/or ortho is a plus but certainly not necessary. Must have great interpersonal and patient communication skills, work well on a team, have organizational skills, timeliness, attention to detail, flexibility and most of all, a desire to learn and grow one’s knowledge, skills and experience.
