Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) — Encinitas Ranch Dentistry
We're looking for a warm, energetic, and dependable RDA to join our team in Encinitas. Our practice is built around two things: taking incredible care of our patients and being a team that genuinely enjoys working together. If both of those matter to you, keep reading.
About the practice: Encinitas Ranch Dentistry is a private, doctor-owned practice led by Dr. Ryan Kay. We focus on general dentistry, as well as cosmetic dentistry, implants, and full-mouth restorative work. One of our RDA’s is moving away, and we are looking for someone who's long term. Read through our google reviews to get a genuine sense of our office and level of care!
What you'll do:
Assist chairside for restorative, cosmetic (veneers/smile makeovers), and implant procedures
Take digital impressions, intraoral photos, and radiographs
Set up and break down operatories, sterilize instruments, help manage inventory
Coronal polishing, Sealants, making Temporaries and other RDA-permitted duties
Help patients feel calm, informed, and well cared for from check-in to check-out
Support the doctor and front office to keep the day flowing smoothly
What we're looking for: The two things that matter most to us are how you make patients feel and how you fit with the team. Skills can be taught — attention to detail, kindness, presence, and follow-through cannot. Specifically:
Active California RDA license in good standing
Current X-ray, Coronal Polish, and CPR/BLS certifications
A warm chairside presence — patients should feel calmer when you're in the room
Someone who communicates well, honestly, follows through, and lifts the team up
Pride in your work and attention to detail
We're open to all experience levels — cosmetic and implant experience is a strong plus
What we offer:
Competitive pay: $28–35/hour DOE
Full-time, 4-day work week Monday-Thursday
401k Match / PTO / Dental Benefits
A modern office that is high tech (digital scanner, 3D Printer, CBCT, etc.)
A small team that actually likes each other
A doctor who will invest in your growth and trust you to do your job
How to apply: Send your resume and a short note about why you'd be a great fit. We read every application personally and are looking forward to meeting you!
