About Our Office
We are a one-doctor private general dentistry practice serving patients in a professional, personal environment.
We primarily see PPO and Fee-for-Service (FFS) patients and do not treat Medi-Cal patients.
Because we are a small practice, you’ll work closely with the doctor and our team and have the opportunity to learn many different aspects of dental assisting and front office work rather than being limited to one narrow role.
If you’re someone who wants to learn, improve your skills and become an important part of a small dental team, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
