We're Hiring: Growth Guidance Coordinator (Certified Dental Assistant)

You're the person a nervous kid relaxes around in minutes.

You build real relationships — with patients, with their families, with your team. You listen first, and you know how to make someone feel completely at ease before you ever get to treatment. Trust isn't something you rush; it's something you earn, conversation by conversation, visit by visit. You're generous with teammates, warm with patients, and genuinely curious about getting better at what you do.

That's exactly the kind of energy and attitude we hire for first — before competency, before experience. Skills can be developed. The desire to show up fully for your patients and your teammates has to already be in you.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

The Role

We're looking for a Certified Dental Assistant to join our team as our Growth Guidance Coordinator. You'll be the steady, familiar face for every family from their very first visit — the person who makes them feel welcomed, informed, and genuinely cared for, long before any treatment conversation begins. Taking records, presenting diagnoses, and guiding families through their options all flow out of that relationship — not the other way around.

You'll be a full contributor to a high-performing, caring team that sets a high bar and actually loves coming to work together.

You bring:

- Your CDA (Certified Dental Assistant) designation (required)
- An orthodontic module isn't required — but we're looking for someone excited to complete one in the near future and grow with our practice
- A positive attitude that's real, not performed
- Strong communication skills — with patients, families, and your team
- A natural relationship-builder who makes families feel known and cared for, not just scheduled
- A genuine love for learning and growing your skills
- The ability to adapt quickly in a fast-moving, high-care environment
- Enthusiasm for being part of something bigger than just a job

What You'll Do





- Build genuine rapport with new patients and families from their very first hello
- Prepare for appointments and consultations in advance — gathering x-rays, records, and history so doctors walk in ready to diagnose
- Present diagnoses and treatment options in a way that's warm, honest, and easy to understand — so families feel guided, not sold to
- Support families through financial and insurance conversations with patience and clarity
- Follow up with families in our Growth Guidance program
- Keep treatment cards, consultation notes, and next-visit details accurate and current
- Manage our specialist referral letters, and follow up with other dental professionals as needed

We don't just straighten teeth. We transform lives.

At North Shore Orthodontics, every family who sits down with us deserves to feel genuinely seen, informed, and excited about what's next. That's not a tagline — it's the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.

Led by Dr. Jordan Millar (BSc, DDS, MSc Ortho) and Dr. Silas Yeung (DMD, MSc Ortho), our team is built on clinical excellence, real warmth, and a deep commitment to the North Shore community.

What We Offer

- $31.00 – $36.00/hour, based on experience
- Schedule: Mon, Tue & Thu: 8:00am–5:00pm · Wed: 11:00am–7:00pm · Fri: 7:00am–12:00pm
- Health spending account + uniform allowance
- Complimentary orthodontic treatment for you and your immediate family
- RRSP match + profit sharing
- Ongoing CE: seminars, conferences, and courses — we invest in your growth
- A team that high-fives, supports each other, and genuinely loves showing up together
