Expanded Functions Dental Assistant

Location: Independence, MO Pay: $23.00 – $29.00 per hour (Based on experience/certifications) Schedule: Mon–Thurs, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Fridays Off!)

For over 50 years, our private practice has been a pillar of the community, treating generations of families with a "patient-first" philosophy. We aren’t a corporate dental chain; we are a tight-knit team where your skills as an EFDA are not just utilized—they are celebrated.

As we recently welcomed a new Associate Doctor, we are looking for a dedicated EFDA who wants to do more than just "suction and prep." Here, you will be a true clinical partner.

• True Work-Life Balance: Enjoy every Friday off to recharge. Our standard 34-hour week (with a full hour for lunch) ensures you stay energized and engaged.
• Advanced Clinical Exposure: Expand your chairside mastery. You’ll assist with high-level procedures including dental implants, oral surgery, removable prosthetics, sleep apnea appliances, and general dentistry procedures.
• Stability & Reputation: Join a practice with 50+ years of community trust. Our patients aren't just charts; they are neighbors who will know you by name.
• Growth-Focused Environment: Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a motivated new EFDA, we provide the mentorship and environment needed to sharpen your expertise.

• Competitive Pay: $23–$29/hr starting rate.
• Time Off: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays.
• Health & Wellness: Free dental care for you and significant discounts for your family.
• Flexibility: While this is a full-time role, we value our team's lives outside of work and offer flexibility where possible.

• Certification: Valid Missouri EFDA certification/licensure is required.
• Clinical Skill: Proficiency in restorative procedures, radiography, and infection control. Experience with dentures and implants is a major plus.
• The "Right" Attitude: We value a team-oriented mindset. We’re looking for someone compassionate, professional, and eager to contribute to our positive office culture.
• Experience: 1+ years preferred, but we are happy to mentor high-potential new graduates who are ready to hit the ground running.

If you’re looking for a workplace that feels like family and a schedule that gives you your weekends back, we’d love to meet you.
