Join a niche specialty team that restores and rebuilds lives. Prior dental/medical experience is helpful, but not required to apply.

The Prosthodontic dental specialty practice of Dr. Lawrence O. Sims is seeking a full-time clinical staff member to train under our amazing clinicians. Serving patients referred to Dr. Sims by other dentists, dental surgeons, and physicians, the practice has become too busy for our one amazing and talented assistant to manage. Assistant Cynthia is seeking an attentive, dedicated, and professional co-worker who is willing to train in our amazing field of patient care.

For a minute, we’d like to share what we do. Have you ever wondered how patients with facial trauma from oral cancer, birth defects, combat, facial trauma, or auto accidents restore their chewing function and appearance? Or, who helps the patient with such severe bone loss that the jaw can no longer accommodate an implant supported denture? Well, give us a wave! We do. Within Georgia and from surrounding States, the practice of Dr. Lawrence Sims is where patients find solutions to more complex dental problems. By thoughtful coordination of care with dedicated physicians, surgeons and lab technicians, we restore and rebuild lives.

So, can an individual with and without dental experience apply? Of course! Candidates with prior dental experience seeking to acquire knowledge and experience in our small and “in demand” specialty are welcome to apply! But, if you do not have experience and fit our list of qualifications (listed below in this ad), there’s no need to hesitate to apply. We’ll begin your training in instrument management and sterilization. Within weeks, your observant eyes and ears will be picking up information so fast, you’ll soon be pouring models, preparing rooms, and seating patients. Before you know it, Cynthia will teach you how to assist during less complex procedures. Eventually, you’ll assist Cynthia directly during more complex procedures and become certified in how to take dental x-rays. After a few months of experience, you’ll look back at your knowledge and skills in amazement.
