Toothworks is a busy, patient-focused dental clinic network committed to delivering exceptional care across our Kitchener locations. As part of the Toothworks (Dentalcorp) network, we're growing our clinical team and looking for dedicated Dental Assistants to join us at our Fairview Park and Boardwalk locations.

The Role

As a Dental Assistant, you'll work directly alongside our dental team to deliver a smooth, comfortable experience for every patient. You'll be organized, hands-on, and ready to support wherever needed — from preparing operatories to assisting chairside during procedures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide chairside assistance to dentists during a variety of dental procedures.
  • Prepare and sterilize instruments and operatories in accordance with infection control protocols.
  • Take and process dental radiographs (X-rays) as directed.
  • Record patient information and treatment notes accurately in Abeldent.
  • Educate patients on post-treatment care and oral hygiene instructions.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked clinical environment.
  • Support the team with smooth patient flow and day-to-day clinic operations.

Schedule

This is a rotating position with shifts spanning late morning through evening on weekdays and daytime hours on weekends. Both full-time and part-time schedules are available, with shifts distributed across the week including weekends. Exact days will be confirmed at the time of offer based on availability and clinic needs.

Candidates must be available for evening shifts and at least one weekend day.

What We're Looking For

  • Completion of a dental assisting program or equivalent clinical experience.
  • NDAEB certified or currently enrolled in the NDAEB certification exam (mandatory).
  • Experience with Abeldent or any dental practice management software is an asset.
  • Strong attention to detail and infection control practices.
  • Comfortable working evenings and weekends as part of a rotating schedule.
  • Warm, professional, and patient-focused with a team-first attitude.
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to bring your best to every shift.

How to Apply
