Careers

We're hiring all-stars.

Smile Dental Center has been Waipahu's family dentistry for 25 years. We're growing into a second floor of new operatories, and we're looking for the right people to grow with us. What we care about most: the right attitude.

Inside Smile Dental Center in Waipahu

Why Smile Dental Center

A family practice that actually feels like a family.

25 years of stability

We've been serving Waipahu and West Oahu for a quarter century. We're not a startup, not a corporate chain. Just a steady, family-owned practice with deep roots in this community.

Modern tools, modern care

In-house denture lab. Dedicated oral surgeon. Gold-level Invisalign provider. Digital X-rays, cloud practice management. You'll work alongside dentists who keep up with the best modern practices.

We're growing

A whole new second floor of operatories is opening soon. That means more team members, more patients, more career growth, and more variety in the cases you'll see.

A real team

Seven dentists, one welcoming front desk, hygienists who know their patients by name. You won't be a number on a corporate org chart. We work as a team and have each other's backs.

Family-friendly

Family-owned means we get it. Real schedules, real flexibility, evenings and weekends off (we're Mon-Fri only). You can have a career here without sacrificing the rest of your life.

Speak the language

Our team speaks English, Tagalog, Kapampangan, Ilocano, Japanese, and Vietnamese. If you speak one of these, you'll connect with patients in a way that matters. (Not required, just appreciated.)

What we look for

A friendly face who's willing to learn

We hire for attitude first. For most of our roles, you don't need a background in dentistry. If you're warm, dependable, eager to learn, and good with people, we'll teach you the rest. We've grown great team members from people who'd never set foot in a dental office.

The exceptions are the clinical roles that require licensure (dentists, hygienists, and certain specialty roles). For those, we look for the same human qualities plus the proper credentials.

Roles we'll train (no dental background required)

  • Dental Assistant

    Chairside support, sterilization, X-rays, patient comfort. We'll train the right person, no prior dental experience required.

  • Front Desk / Receptionist

    Patient scheduling, calls, ADIT texting, insurance verification, the welcoming face of the practice. No dental experience required, warmth required.

Roles requiring credentials

  • Hygienist (RDH)

    Cleanings, periodontal care, patient education. Active Hawaii hygiene license required. Friendly chair-side manner is everything.

  • Associate Dentist (DDS / DMD)

    General practice with room to lean into your specialty interest (cosmetic, Invisalign, restorative). Active Hawaii dental license required. We make space for the dentistry you love.

The Smile Dental application

We'd rather get to know you than read a resume

A few easy questions, no pressure. We're more interested in who you are than how many years you've been around dentistry. Tell us a bit about yourself and we'll be in touch within a few business days.

The basics

Tell us about you

The fun part. Answer what you want, skip what you don't. (Be yourself.)

Vibe check

Tick whatever sounds like you. No wrong answers, just curiosity.

Logistics

Got a resume or cover letter? Wonderful, but not required. Email it to info@smiledentalcenterinc.com after you submit this form. We'll match it up on our end.

(Required for the credentialed roles: hygienist, dentist. Helpful but optional for everyone else.)
