3 Ways to Earn Extra Appreciation and Compensation as a Dental Assistant

In many practices, dental assistants are limited to a few tasks- run sterilization, pass instruments, vacuum saliva… Not so at Renken Dentistry! We see our dental assistant team members as true professionals that deserve a path for career growth. Emerging technology, advanced procedures, and partner style care delivery require dedicated learners that want to improve patients health and their professional success along the way. Here are just a few extra ways we reward our dental assistants for their contributions.You Get Extra Pay for Inviting Others to Join our Team.Dentistry is a team sport! We can’t care for a growing number of patients unless our team grows too. Do you know someone who you wish was on our team? A Bert to your Ernie, a Scottie Pippen to your Michael Jordan, or a peanut butter to your jelly? We succeed when our best team members invite others to join our group. As a member of our team, you earn extra money when you refer a candidate who eventually joins the effort- you also earn the enduring gratitude of your fellow teammates. Mentoring to Support New Team Member Development Pays Off in Our OrganizationYou can be a part of leading our team to greater levels of health. Performing at a high level is even more rewarding when you turn around and help the next person succeed. We believe every team member deserves support from an experienced team member to help them be successful in their new role. In our group everyone benefits when we get better at supporting each other as we create health for our patients. Since we are growing, there are lots of opportunities to earn extra pay for paying it forward for a new team member.Leading the Way Professional Development Opportunities Pay Out as the Practice GrowsOur patients can’t grow to advanced levels of health unless you develop as a professional. Our company does not limit opportunities for team members based on seniority or hierarchy. We want every person to have as many professional development opportunities as they desire. There’s always extra ways to level up- you can help organize and support a specialty procedure, grow behind the scenes on the administrative side, or take a role leading in the community as you help build out our Academy. Maybe you have an area of expertise you would like to pursue that will help our practice grow in a healthy way? We want to harness the imagination and potential of all of our team members. However it happens, we are committed to find growth opportunities for you. Let us know when you are ready!
