    With over 26 years of award-winning care in our community, we’re more than a dental practice; we’re a team on a mission to change lives through extraordinary smiles. Our state-of-the-art, full-service dental facility offers comprehensive care from preventative and cosmetic dentistry to advanced oral surgery and orthodontics. We’re proud to lead with heart, humor, and innovation in everything we do.

    Manage complex treatment plans, financial arrangements, and insurance billing with attention to detail and empathy

    Serve as liaison between administrative, clinical, and leadership teams to ensure smooth coordination

    Train the new team members and maintain consistency in service excellence

    Support compliance with HIPAA, insurance regulations, and internal documentation standards

    Your Strengths:

    5 years+ of experience in healthcare administration, dental office management, or a related leadership role

    Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills

    Proven ability to lead, motivate, and mentor a team

    Advanced proficiency in digital systems (Google Workspace, practice management software, scheduling tools)

    Strong understanding of insurance coordination and revenue cycle processes

    Detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to handle sensitive information with discretion

    A passion for service and a mindset for continuous improvement
