Dental Assistant

Dental Assistant – With your college degree or work experience steer your future into a long-term, rewarding career opportunity. Training offered.

Thomasville Dental Center is a fast-growing, progressive, 2-Doctor general dental practice. Our awesome, close-knit, upbeat team is the result of our Doctors’ and Manager’s commitment to always hire the “right person” rather than overly focusing on a candidate’s technical knowledge of our industry. Is your degree in Exercise Science? Biology? Marketing? Or, English? Perhaps, Psychology or Communications? Any of these or similar majors are the perfect foundation upon which to add dental assistant technical training! No college degree? Your professional work experiences may qualify you to apply, too.

Could a career in dentistry be right for you? Let’s see. Do you share our drive to make a positive difference in the lives of others and enjoy helping people? Are you seeking a “hands on” career that isn’t a “desk job stuck in a cube” or one that has the pressures of sales quotas? Do you appreciate an awesome work schedule that is ideal for personal interests and family time? If yes, you may have just discovered your perfect “forever” career!

If you have the right set of foundation skills, we can provide the education and training to the right candidate to become a top-notch dental assistant.
