Full Job Description

A clinical dental assistant plays a vital role in ensuring a dental practice runs smoothly, balancing direct patient care, clinical support during procedures, and strict infection control.

Below is a comprehensive job description tailored for a high-performing clinical dental assistant, outlining core responsibilities, daily workflows, and required skills.

Job Overview

The Clinical Dental Assistant provides essential four-handed dentistry support to the dentist, manages clinical workflows, ensures immaculate infection control, and delivers exceptional care to patients to make their experience comfortable and stress-free.

Core Responsibilities1. Chairside Assistance (Four-Handed Dentistry)

Clinical Support: Assist the dentist across a full range of clinical procedures, including general restorative work, crown and bridge preparations, endodontics, and advanced surgical procedures (such as dental implant surgeries).
Instrumentation: Anticipate the dentist’s needs by efficiently passing instruments, managing moisture control (suctioning), and preparing materials (lutes, composites, impression materials) ahead of time.
Patient Management: Prepare patients for treatment, ensure their comfort in the chair, and monitor their well-being throughout the procedure.

2. Infection Control & Sterilization

Sterilization Cycle: Decontaminate, clean, package, and sterilize dental instruments and handpieces according to local healthcare standards and guidelines.
Surgery Turnaround: Strictly adhere to infection control protocols to wipe down, disinfect, and set up treatment rooms between patients to prevent cross-contamination.
Compliance: Maintain accurate sterilization logs, monitor autoclave cycles, and ensure all clinical waste is disposed of safely and legally.

3. Clinical Workflow & Lab Management

Digital Diagnostics: Take high-quality digital dental radiographs (X-rays) and intraoral scans as directed by the dentist, ensuring proper positioning and safety protocols.
Lab Logistics: Pour and trim diagnostic models, track incoming and outgoing laboratory cases (crowns, bridges, surgical guides), and ensure they are ready prior to patient appointments.
Inventory Control: Monitor stock levels in the surgeries, track expiration dates, and communicate ordering needs to keep clinical supplies fully stocked.

4. Patient Communication & Record Keeping

Clinical Notes: Accurately transcribe and document raw clinical shorthand, treatment plans, and periodontal charting into the practice management software during or immediately following procedures.
Post-Op Care: Deliver clear, compassionate post-operative care instructions to patients following surgical or restorative treatments.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

Certification: Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting (or equivalent national certification).
Radiography License: A valid license/qualification to take dental radiographs is highly desirable.
Technical Skills: Proficiency with modern dental software (e.g., Dental4Windows, Exact, or Centrix) and experience with digital workflows, including intraoral scanners.
Clinical Competence: Strong working knowledge of dental terminology, instruments, and materials.
Interpersonal Strengths: Exceptional communication skills, a warm and empathetic patient manner, and a strong ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.

Pay: $31.00 – $32.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
