About the role
The Smalltown Dental team is looking to make a new addition to our growing staff. Successful candidates for this position are charismatic, enthusiastic, and demonstrate a hunger for knowledge and willingness to adapt. Our goal at Smalltown Dental is to deliver an unparalleled patient experience. We believe that is possible by creating a culture powered by supportive and positive staff. Above all, we are looking for individuals who exemplify these qualities because we can teach a lot of things, but we can’t teach a love for the work and a desire to improve the life of our patients. If you think you’d make an excellent addition to our team and that your presence can make us a stronger practice, we look forward to hearing from you!
