About this role
Leading Edge Specialized Dentistry in Centereach is hiring a part-time Dental Assistant for their oral surgery practice. You'll work directly with the oral surgeon supporting procedures, taking digital radiographs and intra-oral scans, sterilizing instruments, and prepping operatories. Patient care is central to the role—you'll welcome patients, help them feel comfortable, and provide oral hygiene education as needed, all while maintaining strict infection control and OSHA compliance.
This position requires prior dental assisting experience with surgical procedures and any state-required certification or license. The practice operates Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. At $19/hour, this is a part-time role, though the job posting notes that most benefits (health and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, dental discounts, and scrub allowance) are available only at full-time employment of 30+ hours weekly. Part-time employees receive some benefits, though specifics aren't detailed here.
The practice emphasizes a modern, supportive environment with state-of-the-art technology and a culture focused on patient care over production pressure. If you have surgical assisting experience and are looking for part-time work in oral surgery, this could be a fit—though you'll want to clarify which benefits apply to your hours before committing.
