About The Position

At Smile, our passion is to reimagine dentistry and how people experience it. To that end, we focus on doing one thing better than anyone else…easy, integrated dental care. Smile is West Michigan’s first and only multi-specialty dental practice, combining adult dentistry (Smile), pediatric dentistry (Little Smiles), and orthodontics (Smile Orthodontics). This allows each of our offices (Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, North Muskegon, and Holland) to provide a one-stop destination for the dental needs of the entire family. We’re seeking motivated, skilled professionals who want to grow in a forward-thinking, patient-focused environment. Team members have the opportunity to work with advanced technology, expand their skills, and make a meaningful impact on patients’ health and confidence. Dental Assistants are an integral member of our team and help foster our clinically led culture. From being the doctor’s right hand, to having the ability to connect with patients, and striving to provide the best patient experience, Dental Assistants are a key contributor to the success of our practice.
