Dominion Family Dentistry — Truro, Nova Scotia

Full-time • Monday–Thursday  • No evenings • No weekends

Our patients notice the team.

Dominion Family Dentistry is looking for a Registered Dental Assistant who also enjoys the patient-coordination and organizational side of dentistry. This is a permanent hybrid role: your primary front-office responsibility will be helping maintain our busy hygiene schedule, while your RDA skills will allow you to support the clinical team when needed.

How we work together

Team fit is one of the most important things we consider when hiring. Everyone at Dominion has primary responsibilities, but we do not work in silos. If a teammate needs help, we step in. If the phone is ringing, the schedule changes, a patient needs attention or someone is overloaded, we work together. No role is “above” another, and titles define responsibility—not status.

What you will do

• Take primary responsibility for the hygiene schedule, including recalls, cancellations, short-notice openings, confirmations and rebooking.
• Monitor schedules proactively and work with the rest of the front office to minimize gaps and maintain productive patient flow.
• Use Dentrix notes, patient history and sound judgment to determine appropriate scheduling opportunities.
• Answer phones, greet patients, update patient and insurance information and communicate schedule changes clearly.
• Prepare referrals, record transfers, estimates and predeterminations as assigned.
• Provide RDA support as needed, including chairside assisting, radiographs/images, room preparation and sterilization within scope.
• Help wherever reasonably needed to keep the office and patient experience running smoothly.

You may be a strong fit if you

• Hold current Nova Scotia RDA registration/licensure.
• Are friendly, patient-focused and a strong communicator.
• Are organized, proactive and dependable.
• Stay calm and effective when plans change.
• Follow through rather than leaving loose ends for someone else.
• Respect every role in the practice and willingly help teammates.
• Have Dentrix, recall or dental scheduling experience (strong assets).

What we offer

• Compensation depending on directly relevant experience.
• Full-time Monday–Thursday, 7:45 a.m.–5:15 p.m.; every Friday off.
• No evenings and no weekends.
• Medical health insurance and in-office dental care.
• Paid vacation, statutory holidays and six additional non-statutory holidays.
• Sick/wellness bonus.
• Clothing/uniform allowance and continuing-education allowance.
• Free parking.
• A stable, established practice with a supportive, team-oriented culture.
