What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dental Assistant position at Davidson Dental?
Join Our Family at Davidson Dental – Where Smiles Are Always Welcome!
Located in the heart of Roy, Utah, Davidson Dental has been spreading smiles and providing top-notch family dentistry since 2005. Our patients aren’t just patients—they’re part of our extended family. As a small, locally owned practice, we pride ourselves on focusing on what really matters: quality care, personalized attention, and building lasting relationships. And while we’re all about professionalism, we’re also all about creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes both our patients and team feel right at home.
Who We’re Looking For:
We’re on the hunt for a skilled and motivated Dental Assistant who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, help keep our patients’ smiles shining, and join our fun, supportive team. If you’re passionate about dentistry and love making people feel comfortable, this is the job for you!
What You’ll Be Doing:
As a Dental Assistant, you’ll be an integral part of our day-to-day operations, ensuring that patients receive the best care possible. Here’s a snapshot of your duties:
- Assist the dentist during procedures (yes, that means you get to work alongside a seriously cool guy)
- Prepare treatment rooms and sterilize instruments (because cleanliness is next to smile-liness)
- Take digital x-rays (don’t worry, we’ll teach you all the tricks of the trade)
- Help with dental lab procedures (pouring, trimming—basically creating dental masterpieces)
- Provide chairside assistance during procedures (and offer comfort to patients who may need a little extra TLC)
- Educate patients on how to keep their smiles sparkling at home
- Keep patient records accurate and up-to-date (because organization is key)
- Schedule appointments like a pro (don’t worry, we’ve got great software to help you)
What You’ll Need to Shine in This Role:
- A solid understanding of dental anatomy and terminology (you know your bicuspids from your molars)
- Proficiency in taking dental x-rays (if you can smile and x-ray at the same time, even better)
- Experience with dental terminology and records management (bonus points for familiarity with Dentrix software)
- Knowledge of HIPAA regulations and maintaining patient confidentiality (because we take privacy seriously)
- Strong communication skills (ability to explain dental care without sounding like a dental robot)
- Attention to detail and great organizational skills (because we know you’re the type who loves ticking off boxes)
- A positive attitude and willingness to work as part of a team (teamwork makes the dream work, after all)
What’s In It for You:
- A supportive, fun work environment (we laugh, we smile, we work hard—but we always have your back)
- Flexible schedule with alternate Wednesdays and Fridays off (because life’s better when you have time to enjoy it!)
- Work hours: Mon-Wed, 8 am - 5 pm (with an hour lunch break), and Thurs-Fri, 7 am - 2 pm
If you're a passionate, detail-oriented dental professional ready to help others while working in a supportive, no-stress environment, we’d love to hear from you! Join our team and help us keep smiles shining in Roy!
