Job description

Dental Assistant | Springfield, OR

Great dentistry starts with a great team. Come be part of ours.

Gentle Dental Springfield is looking for a full-time Dental Assistant to join a team that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely cares about creating a great experience for every patient who walks through the door.

We know Dental Assistants are at the heart of a great dental office. You keep the day moving, help patients feel comfortable, support your doctor, and somehow manage to be three steps ahead when everyone else is still figuring out step one.

If you’re looking for a team where your skills are appreciated, your contributions matter, and you have the opportunity to keep learning and growing, we’d love to meet you.

The Details

Location:

Gentle Dental Springfield

227 Q Street

Springfield, OR 97477

Schedule: Full-Time

Pay:   $24.00–$27.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications

Why Gentle Dental?

At Gentle Dental, we believe taking great care of patients starts with taking great care of the people who serve them.

You’ll be part of an established team with the support and resources to do your job well, while still having opportunities to learn, grow your skills, and build a meaningful career in dentistry.

And your role matters here.

You’re not simply there to assist with procedures. You’re often the person helping an anxious patient relax, keeping the doctor and schedule moving, noticing what needs to happen next, and making sure patients leave feeling like they were genuinely cared for.

We want you to feel like an important part of the team — because you are.

What We’re Looking For

We’d love to meet someone who is:

Kind, patient-focused, and a strong communicator

Dependable and ready to be an active part of the team

Comfortable working in a busy dental environment

Collaborative and willing to jump in when teammates need support

Motivated to continue learning and growing their skills

Someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of people

Required Qualifications

Certificate from a Dental Assisting Program

Valid healthcare provider CPR/BLS certification

Your Experience Matters

We recognize the additional skills and experience you bring to the office. Starting pay within our range may increase based on qualifications including:

Previous dental assisting experience

EFDA certification

X-ray certification

Bilingual Spanish skills

Registered Dental Assistant (RDA), when applicable

Benefits

A great job should support your life outside of work, too. Our benefits include:

Medical and pharmacy coverage

Dental and vision coverage for employees and their families

Employee Assistance Program

Basic life, AD&D, and long-term disability insurance

6 paid holidays plus 2 paid floating holidays

80 hours of PTO per year for hourly employees

401(k) and deferred compensation plans

Employee referral bonuses ranging from $600–$2,500 depending on the role

Come Meet the Team

If you’re looking for more than somewhere to clock in and out each day, we’d love to talk.

Come build relationships with patients, grow your skills, work alongside people who value what you bring to the office, and be part of a team that understands just how important a great Dental Assistant is.

Apply today and come meet the Gentle Dental Springfield team!
