We are more than just a dental office—we’re a close-knit team that’s passionate about creating a positive experience for both our patients and each other. We’re looking for a friendly, organized, and team-oriented Lead Dental Assistant- Clinical Coordinator to help keep our practice running smoothly.

This leadership role is perfect for someone who loves supporting others, enjoys problem-solving, and takes pride in creating an efficient, welcoming environment where patients feel cared for and the team feels supported.

What you’ll do

Keep the day flowing: Oversee daily clinical operations so treatment rooms are ready, sterilization is efficient, and the schedule runs on time.
Champion IPAC excellence: Maintain best-practice Infection Prevention & Control (IPAC) protocols, keep documentation current, and prepare confidently for audits.
Support budgets & supplies: Monitor spending, forecast needs, and work with vendors to keep the right supplies in stock—never too much, never too little.
Coordinate the team: Help align providers, assistants, and hygienists with smooth scheduling and treatment room assignments, while jumping in to support front desk needs.
Coach & mentor: Provide guidance, training, and encouragement to our clinical team, building a culture of teamwork, safety, and patient-first care.
Keep systems on track: Ensure logs, reports, and practice software are accurate while generating weekly updates that help the team succeed.
