The opportunity

Join an elite clinical team.

Smile House and JBL New York City aren't your average dental practices. We're a modern, multispecialty team built on one core belief: oral health and whole-body health are the same conversation. Restorative, aesthetic, airway, sleep, periodontal, orthodontic. Our clinicians work side by side across every discipline, in stunning spaces equipped with the latest technology, inside a culture that loves to teach, learn, and push each other forward.

We're looking for an expert dental assistant to join our clinical team in an Advanced Dental Assistant role, built for someone with serious chairside skill who wants to work at the highest level of multispecialty care.

This isn't an entry-level assistant job. It's an immersive, elevated clinical role for someone who wants to sharpen real clinical instincts inside a fast-moving, interdisciplinary practice. You'll be chairside with our doctors across every specialty, gaining exposure to diagnosis, treatment planning, advanced procedures, and the full arc of patient care. It's the kind of experience that would normally take years to piece together.

This role is an especially strong fit for internationally trained dentists. Your prior clinical education translates directly into this work. It's a way to stay deeply embedded in your field, working alongside some of the best-trained clinicians in the world.

What you'll actually be doing

Chairside, across every specialty.

You'll assist doctors across specialties during complex procedures, anticipating what your dentist needs as you navigate the treatment flow. You'll make sure your team is prepared: every operatory, every instrument, every material prepped to a standard that matches the level of care we deliver.

You'll sit in on real complex case discussions with our multispecialty team, learning how we deliver comprehensive care and an exceptional patient experience.

You'll become an expert in our clinical care protocols and standards, get real mentorship, and be a fundamental part of delivering world-class care.

Who we're looking for

This role is a great fit whether you're...

An expert dental assistant with 5+ years of experience and excellent clinical skills
An internationally trained dentist (DDS, DMD, or equivalent)
A Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) with 5+ years of experience

And, across the board, you are...

Legally authorized to work in the U.S. for any organization
Currently residing in the greater NYC area and able to commute to our Upper East Side and Tribeca offices
Ready to grow with us long-term (we're looking for at least a 3-year commitment, ideally)
Clinically sharp, detail-oriented, and unshakeable under pressure
Humble, curious, and hungry to learn
A true team player with strong emotional intelligence
Energized by a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
Fluent or highly proficient in English (bonus points for additional languages, we have an international patient base!)
Why this role is worth it

Real exposure. Real mentorship. Real growth.

Work in beautiful, modern offices with cutting-edge technology
Be part of a true multispecialty team, all under one roof
Learn directly from experienced clinicians and thought leaders in the field
Get deep, hands-on exposure to advanced dentistry, airway and sleep medicine, and comprehensive care
Join a culture built on respect, education, collaboration, and excellence
Build the kind of professional relationships that shape a career
Our culture, in practice

We move fast, hold the bar high, and stay humble about it.

We communicate openly and bring a just-do-it energy to everything we do. We hold the bar high and stay humble about it, and we make sure there's real joy in the day-to-day. Growth isn't a buzzword here; it's clinical, professional, and personal, every day.

If you're an expert dental assistant, whether your path here was a dental degree earned abroad or hands-on training in the assisting chair, and you're looking for a high-level opportunity to do meaningful clinical work inside a leading multispecialty practice, we'd love to meet you.
