Job Description

The best assistants have the instrument in the doctor's hand before she asks for it.

That's not a skill you're born with. It comes from reading tomorrow's schedule tonight, knowing what's coming, and setting the room up so the day runs instead of stumbling. If that's how you already work, we want to talk to you.

SmileHQ has taken care of families in Prince George's County for over 20 years. We move fast, we run a full schedule, and we need someone in the back who thinks two steps ahead.

Requirements:

  • Maryland Dental Assistant license (Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners) — current and in good standing
  • Maryland Radiation Technologist / dental radiology certification
  • Current CPR/BLS

What you'll actually do:

  • Read the schedule before it happens. Know every case coming through the door, set the room, pull the tray, and have it ready before the patient sits down.
  • Assist chairside like you've been to dental school. Anticipate the next step. Know what the doctor needs before she asks for it.
  • Take radiographs — clean, diagnostic, first try.
  • Scan. Intraoral scanning and digital impressions — or be genuinely willing to learn it fast. We'll teach you.
  • Flex to the front when it's needed. You don't have to run the schedule, but you should understand it — and be able to help a patient at the desk without saying "that's not my job."

Who this is for: You're proactive, not reactive. You notice things. You'd rather be handed a room and trusted with it than told what to do every ten minutes. You're a real teammate — when your side is done, you look around and see who needs help. 

Who this isn't for: If you want to be told exactly what to do, every time, and go home, this isn't the room. We're busy, we're growing, and we lean on each other.

What we offer:  $18–$22/hour — and we pay the top of that range for someone clearly ready for it — obviously. Training on our scanning and digital workflow. A direct line to the doctor, and real room to grow.

SmileHQ is a woman-owned practice and an equal opportunity employer. We've been part of this community for two decades. We hire for character and train for skill.
