Dental Assistant

The Dental Group of Galesburg

Dental Excellence. Compassionate Care.

Are you a highly motivated, team-oriented Dental Assistant who thrives in a modern, technology-driven environment?

The Dental Group of Galesburg is a privately owned, fee-for-service practice focused on delivering exceptional patient experiences through advanced digital dentistry, strong systems, and a positive team culture.

We are growing — and we are looking for the right person to grow with us.

Who We Are

Led by Dr. Cody Krech, DMD (University of Louisville, former U.S. Air Force Captain), our practice blends clinical excellence with cutting-edge technology and concierge-level service.

We provide:

• Same-day CEREC crowns
• CBCT imaging
• 3D printing (SprintRay, Midas)
• Digital dentures
• Clear aligners (SureSmile & Candid Pro)
• Implants & endodontics
• Solea laser dentistry
• Myofunctional & sleep solutions
• Comprehensive family and cosmetic care

We are fully out-of-network by choice — which allows us to focus on relationships, quality, and long-term patient care rather than insurance limitations.

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who:

• Is confident, coachable, and detail-oriented
• Thrives in a fast-paced but structured environment
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Takes initiative when the schedule changes
• Values growth, accountability, and teamwork
• Understands that the patient experience matters from start to finish

Experience with digital dentistry is a plus — but mindset and work ethic matter more.

Primary Responsibilities

• Chairside assisting for restorative, surgical, endo, and cosmetic procedures
• Same-day crown workflow (scan, design, mill, finish)
• Digital impressions and photography
• Sterilization and infection control protocols
• Lab case management and in-office 3D printing workflow
• Post-op calls and patient follow-ups
• Case preparation and operatory organization
• Contributing to an exceptional 2-on-1 patient transfer process

When patients cancel or openings occur, assistants pivot to:

• Lab maintenance
• Scanner calibration
• Milling unit maintenance
• Supply audits
• Case reviews
• Training and skill development

We do not believe in “standing around.”

Schedule

Full-time preferred.

Monday–Thursday with occasional Fridays.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly wage (based on experience)
• Bonus opportunities
• Paid time off
• Uniform allowance
• Continuing education support
• Positive, growth-oriented culture
• Long-term career opportunity

Culture Fit Matters Most

We are not a corporate office.

We are not a high-volume mill.

We are a relationship-driven, technology-forward practice focused on delivering a premium patient experience every single day.

If you want a job, this may not be the place.

If you want a career — and to be part of something growing — we would love to meet you.
