We're Hiring: Certified Dental Assistant (Ortho CDA)
North Shore Orthodontics · North Vancouver, BC · $35–$42/hr · No Weekends
We don't just straighten teeth. We transform lives.
At North Shore Orthodontics, every patient who walks through our door deserves to feel genuinely seen, cared for, and more confident than when they arrived. 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. We hire slowly and carefully — because culture is everything here.
The Role
We're looking for a Certified Dental Assistant with a completed Orthodontic Module to join our clinical team as a full-time Clinician. You'll work chair-side with Dr. Millar and Dr. Yeung, delivering five-star orthodontic care to patients of all ages — and making sure every visit feels smooth, informed, and genuinely enjoyable.
This isn't a role where you show up, do the job, and go home. You'll be a full contributor to a high-performing, high-care team that sets a high bar and actually loves coming to work together.
What You'll Do
- Assist orthodontists with all clinical procedures and deliver excellent patient experiences at every appointment
- Prepare operatories, manage instruments, and ensure the clinic is stocked, tidy, and ready to go
- Educate and update patients and families — in person and via text — on treatment progress and what to expect
- Complete treatment cards, appointment plans, and prescriptions accurately and on time
- Contribute to the training and development of new and existing team members
- Bring fun, compassion, and genuine curiosity to every single appointment
Who You Are
You walk into a room and make it better. You're warm with patients, generous with teammates, and the kind of person who notices what needs to happen — and does it before being asked.
You also bring:
- Your CDA designation with a completed Orthodontic Module (required)
- A positive attitude that's real, not performed
- Strong communication skills — with patients, families, and your team
- A genuine love for learning and growing your clinical 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 We Offer
- $35.00 – $42.00/hour, based on experience
- No weekends — ever
- Health spending account + uniform allowance
- Complimentary orthodontic treatment for you and your immediate family
- RRSP match + profit sharing
- Paid time off
- 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
A Note on Culture Fit
Every person we bring onto this team either raises the bar or changes it — so we take hiring seriously. We look for energy and attitude first, competency second, and experience third. Skills can be developed. The desire to show up fully for your patients and your teammates? That has to already be in you.
If that sounds like your kind of place — we'd love to meet you.
