Job description

Starlight Dental Management is looking for a Rock Star Traveling Oral Surgery Dental Assistant!

Do you thrive in a fast-paced surgical environment where no two days look exactly the same?

Do you want to be part of a team where clinical excellence, patient safety, and world-class care always come first?

Do you want to work at an organization that supports the Humane Society in their fight to end pet homelessness?

If you answered with an enthusiastic YES, we want to hear from you!

This is a full-time traveling role working directly alongside our Oral Surgeon across multiple locations including Largo, Riverview, New Port Richey and Tampa. This is not your typical dental assistant position. You will be an essential part of a high-level surgical team, supporting complex procedures including dental implants, All-on-X, and zygomatic implants. If you are highly skilled, deeply organized, and energized by surgical precision, this role was built for you.

A typical day in this role includes:

  • Arriving at least 30 minutes before the surgical schedule begins to verify operating rooms are properly prepared, safety equipment is present and functioning, oxygen tanks and backups are confirmed, and all surgical instruments, materials, and implants are physically on hand and set up for the day's procedures
  • Supporting the surgeon through complex oral surgery and implant cases with confidence and precision
  • Spending approximately one to two hours after the final case to sterilize, complete surgical checklists, and prepare for the following day including verifying preoperative and postoperative instructions, consent forms, treatment plans, and all required documentation are complete and congruent
  • Escalating any missing or conflicting information before the procedure date

Core Competencies:

  • Minimum 2 years of IV sedation experience (Required)
  • Hands-on experience with dental implants, All-on-X, and zygomatic implants (Required)
  • Comfort and confidence working across multiple office locations (Required)
  • DAANCE certification (a huge plus but not required)
  • Strong knowledge of surgical safety protocols and sterile technique
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Calm, professional, and communicative under pressure

Essential Functions:

  • Set up and break down surgical suites across multiple locations
  • Support IV sedation cases with confidence
  • Complete and verify all surgical checklists and documentation
  • Maintain sterile technique throughout all procedures
  • Communicate proactively with the surgical team regarding scheduling, implant availability, and case readiness
  • Flexibility to travel between assigned locations based on the surgical schedule
  • Occasional Fridays for administrative support as needed

Perks of Joining the Team:

  • Structured bonus opportunities
  • Dental care for you and your family
  • Continuing education to sharpen your skills
  • Team events and a genuinely great culture
  • In-office espresso machine at every location
  • Proud supporters of the Humane Society

If you are a highly skilled surgical dental assistant who is ready to operate at the highest level, submit your resume and tell us why you are the right fit for this role!

Smile Often,
Starlight Dental Management
