Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) — Encinitas Ranch Dentistry
Permanent Dental Assistant Job in Encinitas, CA

We're looking for a warm, energetic, and dependable RDA to join our team in Encinitas. Our practice is built around two things: taking incredible care of our patients and being a team that genuinely enjoys working together. If both of those matter to you, keep reading.
About the practice: Encinitas Ranch Dentistry is a private, doctor-owned pratice led by Dr. Ryan Kay. We focus on general dentistry, as well as cosmetic dentistry, implants, and full-mouth restorative work. One of our RDA'S is moving away, and we are looking for someone who's long term.

- Coronal polishing, Sealants, making Temporaries and other RDA-permitted duties
- Help patients feel calm, informed, and well cared for from check-in to check-out
- Support the doctor and front office to keep the day flowing smoothly
What we're looking for: The two things that matter most to us are how you make patients feel and how you fit with the team. Skills can be taught - attention to detail, kindness, presence, and follow-through cannot. Specifically:
- Active California RDA license in good standing
- Current X-ray, Coronal Polish, and CPR/BLS certifications
- A warm chairside presence - patients should feel calmer when you're in the room
- Someone who communicates well, honestly, follows through, and lifts the team up

- We're open to all experience levels - cosmetic and implant experience is a strong plus
What we offer:

- A modern office that is high tech (digital scanner, 3D Printer, CBCT, etc.)
- A small team that actually likes each other
- A doctor who will invest in your growth and trust you to do your job
