The Smile Artisans | Surgical Assisstant

Surgery is not an occasional part of our practice — it's the core of it. Our team performs wisdom tooth extractions, implant placements, bone and gum grafting, and full-arch AOX procedures regularly. We're looking for a dental assistant who wants to build real expertise in this area, not simply assist in it from time to time.

Prior surgical experience isn't required. We're more interested in finding someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely motivated to develop this skill set over time. Clinical training will be provided — what we can't teach is the drive to take the work seriously and grow into it.

What we're looking for:

- Robust attention to detail, particularly with sterile technique and surgical setup
- Composure and focus in a fast-paced clinical environment
- A genuine interest in learning advanced procedures, not just performing routine tasks




- Reliability and a strong sense of accountability to the team
- A long-term interest in surgical dental assisting as a career path, rather than a short-term role
- At least 4 days of availability between Monday - Friday

What we offer:

- Hands-on training in advanced surgical procedures
- Regular exposure to complex cases, including full-arch and implant surgery
- Mentorship from an experienced surgical team
- A clearly defined path toward a senior surgical assistant position

If you're currently working in general dental assisting and are ready to move into surgical work, we'd welcome the chance to speak with you.
