Hygiene Coordinator / Dental Assistant

Friddle Dental — Alexandria, VA

About Us

Friddle Dental is a private, single-doctor family and cosmetic dental practice in Alexandria, VA. We're not a corporate office — we're a close-knit team that genuinely enjoys coming to work, treats patients like people (not production numbers), and believes a great day at the office and great patient care go hand in hand. Good hours, a fun and supportive environment, and a patient-first philosophy are what make this practice different.

Position Overview

We're looking for a Hygiene Coordinator / Dental Assistant to join our team — a versatile, personable professional who can move seamlessly between the front desk and the clinical side. This is a great fit for someone who likes variety in their day and wants to be a true utility player on a small team where everyone pitches in.

What You'll Do

Coordinate and manage the hygiene schedule to keep the day running smoothly and efficiently

Answer phones and handle patient scheduling with warmth and professionalism

Verify dental insurance benefits, explain coverage to patients, and assist with claims and billing questions

Take and process dental x-rays (digital radiography)

Provide chairside assistance to the doctor and hygienists as needed

Prepare and sterilize instruments and operatories between patients

Help patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their visit

Pitch in wherever needed to keep the office running like a team, not a assembly line

What We're Looking For

Experience with dental insurance (verification, claims, patient communication)

Experience taking dental x-rays

Chairside dental assisting experience

Comfortable answering phones and handling front-office tasks

A team player who communicates well and works well with others

Someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment but still takes time to connect with patients

Positive, adaptable, and reliable — someone who wants to grow with a small practice, not get lost in a big one

What You Can Expect From Us

A private practice — one dentist, no corporate red tape or productivity quotas

Good hours and reasonable work-life balance

A fun, supportive, low-drama team environment

A genuinely patient-centric approach to care

The opportunity to wear multiple hats and grow your skill set
