$20.00 – $24.00 per hour (based on experience & performance)

Job Description

Eclipse Smiles is not looking for “just a dental assistant.”

We are looking for a high-performance clinical professional who takes ownership, moves with urgency, and operates at a high standard.

If you are looking for a place to coast, avoid accountability, or do the bare minimum — this is not it.

If you want structure, growth, leadership opportunities, and to be part of a team that wins together — keep reading.

Your Role

You will be responsible for:

• Assisting the doctor efficiently during procedures (general, restorative, surgical, etc.)
• Preparing and breaking down operatories with precision and speed
• Maintaining strict sterilization and infection control protocols
• Taking high-quality radiographs and intraoral images
• Anticipating doctor needs before being asked
• Ensuring patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident
• Keeping operatories stocked, organized, and ready at all times
• Supporting clinical flow and schedule efficiency

You are a key driver of production, patient experience, and clinical excellence.

This Is NOT the Right Fit If:

• You are frequently late or unreliable
• You need constant direction or reminders
• You resist coaching or feedback
• You engage in gossip or negativity
• You get overwhelmed easily in a fast-paced environment
• You do not take pride in your work

Dependability and accountability are non-negotiable.

This IS the Right Fit If:

• You move with urgency and think ahead
• You take ownership of your role and outcomes
• You want to grow clinically and professionally
• You enjoy working in a fast-paced, high-performance environment
• You value structure, systems, and clear expectations
• You take pride in delivering an excellent patient experience
