Do you feel like you've outgrown your current dental assistant role? You're highly skilled, experienced, and ready to take on more responsibility but the opportunity just isn't there. Maybe you're stuck in a position where you're capable of leading but aren't given the chance to step up.

It's time to take the lead. At Reef Dental Centre, we're looking for a driven Dental Assistant ready to step into a leadership role. In this rare opportunity, you'll have the chance to train and mentor staff, oversee lab work with digital workflows to create whitening trays, mouthguards, retainers and splints, and work closely as the Principal Dentist's right hand.
