What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dental Assistant position at Magnolia Dental?
Magnolia Dental is a fee for service Private Practice near The Villages. We have three practicing dentists, mostly restorative, dentures and implants, and we refer all our endo cases to endodontists. We are looking for a competent dental assistant to help us provide quality dental care over quantity.
Both owners are University of Florida graduates, and the office has a brand new facility, with brand new Adec chairs, and new equipment like Itero scanners, Carestream CBCT to plan implant cases etc. We work with excellent supplies and laboratories which makes the assistant's job easier.
Most of our patients are amazing and they have become family. Something else that separates us from other practices is that we have a full-time sterilization tech that helps not only sterilization but also set up and clean up rooms.
We try to keep our environment drama free. After a year with us, we offer 15 paid days in addition to the 6 paid holidays. We also stay on top of inflation to make sure that you are paid well since we know how important our dental assistants are.
