Join The Smile Room — Dental Care Without the Four Walls

Are you a dental assistant who also knows your way around a front desk? Do you enjoy variety, working independently, and getting out of the traditional dental office?

The Smile Room is looking for a Dental Assistant & Administrator to join our growing mobile dental team.

We bring dental care directly to retirement homes and long-term care communities throughout the GTA — which means no two days are quite the same. You’ll be part of a team that is changing the way seniors access dental care, while enjoying a role that combines clinical assisting, administration, organization and travel.

What makes this role different?

This is not your typical dental office job.

You won't be sitting at the same reception desk or operatory every day. You'll travel to different locations, work with different teams, interact with seniors and their families, and take ownership of a variety of tasks that keep our mobile clinics running smoothly.

We are looking for someone who is flexible about their schedule and enjoys having the freedom to pick up days based on availability. Some weeks may be busier than others, so this position is ideal for someone who wants a casual, flexible role rather than a traditional Monday–Friday schedule.

Your role will include

Clinical & Mobile Clinic Support

- Assisting the dentist and/or hygienist during mobile dental clinics
- Setting up and breaking down portable dental equipment
- Preparing treatment areas and ensuring everything is organized and ready to go
- Sterilization, instrument processing and maintaining IPAC standards
- Organizing and maintaining dental supplies
- Ensuring equipment and supplies are transported and stored properly
- Assisting with patient flow and clinic logistics

Administrative & Patient Support

- Answering phone calls and responding to patient/POA inquiries
- Communicating with patients,



families and Powers of Attorney in a professional and compassionate manner
- Discussing treatment options, costs, appointment logistics and next steps
- Assisting with scheduling and appointment coordination
- Updating patient records and administrative information
- Assisting with insurance and benefit-related tasks
- Supporting the administrative team with various projects and follow-ups

The “extra hands” factor

- Helping wherever needed to keep clinics running efficiently
- Troubleshooting unexpected situations
- Staying organized when things get busy
- Taking initiative rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done

What we're looking for: Ideally, you have:
- 2+ years of dental assisting experience
- Previous front desk/reception experience in a dental office
- Strong understanding of dental terminology and procedures
- Excellent communication and customer service skills
- Confidence speaking with patients, families and healthcare professionals
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- The ability to work independently and take initiative
- Comfort using computers and learning new software
- The ability and willingness to travel throughout Toronto and the surrounding GTA
- Flexibility to work different days and locations
- A positive, skilled and compassionate attitude

Experience with dental administration, insurance, treatment coordination or practice management software is a definite asset. Where will you be working?

Our clinics take place at retirement homes and long-term care communities throughout the GTA.





You should be comfortable travelling to locations primarily in:

Mississauga, Hamilton, Burlington, Etobicoke, Toronto and surrounding areas

Travel is an important part of the role, so this position is best suited to someone who doesn't mind getting in the car and heading somewhere different each day.

Who will thrive in this role?

You might be a great fit if you:

- Love the dental field but are looking for something different from a traditional dental office
- Enjoy a combination of clinical and administrative work
- Like having variety in your workday
- Are comfortable working independently
- Are organized and naturally good at figuring things out
- Enjoy meeting new people and building relationships
- Don't need to work the same number of days every week
- Want a role that gives you flexibility and variety
- Take pride in providing exceptional care and service to seniors

Why The Smile Room? At The Smile Room, we believe that people shouldn't have to leave their community to receive dental care.

Since 2018, we've been bringing dental services directly to seniors in retirement homes and long-term care communities across Ontario.

You'll be joining a team that is passionate about making dental care more accessible — and you'll have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in that mission.

If you're an experienced dental assistant who is ready to get out from behind the same four walls and try something different, we'd love to hear from you.
