Our expanded state-of-the-art facility will consist of 45 operatories and an onsite dental lab. We have invested in new equipment such as intraoral scanners, milling machines, 3D imaging, rotary Endo, and surgical microscopes, which reflects our commitment to embrace advanced technology. These investments align well with our mission to offer high quality comprehensive care to all age groups. What is more exciting is that we will have dedicated suites for oral surgery and pediatric dentistry.

The dental assistant assists the dentist and dental hygienist in the care and treatment of patients of all ages with maximum concern and respect for the patient in accordance with Iowa registration or certification.

The successful candidate will possess at least one year of experience as well as a high school diploma or equivalent. Fully qualified applicants will be graduates of an accredited dental assisting program and current CPR and Basic Life Support accreditation. If you are already a dental assistant, you also must be a registered dental assistant in Iowa. Out of state dental assistants are encouraged to apply - you will need to possess your Iowa license prior to employment.

We will consider applicants who are not already a dental assistant for our Dental Assistant Training Program. In order to be considered, you must have experience in a dental office setting in roles such as scheduling, dental patient support, or similar administrative roles.

Pre-employment drug testing, physical, review of required immunizations and background check required.
