Temporary Dental Assistant - Experienced (March 30 - April 17)

Vitalae Dental Care is a well-established general dentistry practice in Garden Grove looking for an experienced dental assistant to cover March 30 through April 17, 2026. This is a temporary position with set start and end dates, perfect for an assistant who wants consistent, full-time hours with a stable, professional team.

We are a busy two-doctor practice with a collaborative working environment. We take pride in delivering quality care and keeping our schedule running smoothly.

What You'll Be Doing

• Chairside assisting with our doctors throughout the day
• Instrument sterilization and processing
• Taking X-rays as needed
• Supporting smooth patient flow from room to room

What We're Looking For

• Prior dental assisting experience in a general dentistry setting (required)
• X-ray certification and current OSHA/infection control compliance (required)
• Dentrix experience preferred; other PMS experience considered for fast learners
