Expanded Duties Dental Assistant, Aiken, SC

Who we are

At Bela Family Dentistry, we exist for one reason: uncovering smiles through service and love. We are doctor-founded, fee-for-service by design, and built on relationships, not insurance contracts. Our patients get undivided attention. Our team is trusted to lead.

We believe excellent dentistry happens when the dentist, the team, and the patient are the only people in the conversation. That's why we have intentionally chosen not to be in-network with insurance companies. Treatment plans stay between the clinician and the patient.

We are growing across South Carolina, and we are looking for an Expanded Duties Dental Assistant to join our ___________team. If you have ever felt anonymous in a busy production practice or wished for a place where your skill at the chair was recognized and your work with patients actually mattered, this is going to feel different.

What you will own

The chairside partnership. You are the dentist's second set of hands and the patient's second friendly face. You anticipate what is needed before it is asked, and you make every procedure move smoothly.The clinical work.

You work alongside doctors who trust your hands and value your clinical opinion.The patient experience. Answering questions, walking patients through post-operative instructions, discussing treatment recommendations, being the calm presence when they are nervous.
