We’re looking for a confident, experienced Licensed Dental Assistant who’s ready to step into a true leadership role within a long-standing, patient-focused practice in the heart of Shorewood.

This is a unique opportunity to work side-by-side with a well-loved dentist who is approaching retirement and wants the right person to help bring structure, energy, and consistency back into the practice—while preparing it for a successful future transition.

About the Practice
We have a loyal, established patient base and a welcoming, community-centered feel. The doctor is fun, engaging, and known for breaking into song throughout the day, but also brings a fast-moving, creative approach to dentistry. We’re looking for someone who can complement that energy with strong organization, follow-through, and confidence.

The Opportunity
This is more than chairside assisting—you’ll be a key partner in keeping the day running smoothly, supporting patient experience, and helping the practice operate at its best. If you naturally take initiative, enjoy creating order, you’ll thrive here.
