Summary
Experienced Dental Assistant/Receptionist with conversational Spanish seeks a challenging Floater role, proficient in greeting patients, assisting in various procedures, and adept at chairside duties. Currently contributing to Astoria Dental Spa, I excel in advanced treatments like root canals, fillings, and oral surgery. Skilled in Zoom whitening and iTero/3D scanning, I efficiently handle front desk responsibilities. As the current office is closing in February, I am actively seeking a new opportunity to bring my comprehensive skill set, including certifications and a solid educational foundation, to contribute effectively to a new dental practice's success.
