We are a small but busy three-chair dental office in a quiet location in Los Altos (not actually Cupertino, but Craigslist doesn't let us choose "Los Altos" as an option). We are open from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. We have been in the same location for close to thirty years, and established relationships with patients who have been with us since the beginning.
This is a position for people who are looking to transition into a career in dental assisting. We offer on-the-job training and are not particularly concerned about previous dental experience: we care about work ethic, willingness to learn, a pleasant demeanor and excellent customer care, and a desire to remain employed here for some years.
Dental Assistant duties include the following:
Taking digital dental x-rays
Sterilizing instruments, disinfecting and preparing patient operatories
Interacting with patients
Occasional handling of patient files and phone duties.
