Luma Pediatric Dental – Howell, NJ (Opening April 2026)

Luma Pediatric Dental is a brand-new pediatric dental practice opening in Howell, NJ. We are building something special — a warm, light-filled, family-centered space where children feel safe, parents feel heard, and our team feels valued.

We are seeking a kind, hardworking, team-oriented Dental Assistant who genuinely cares about children and their families.

This is an opportunity to be a founding team member and grow alongside a startup practice with a long-term vision.

• Stay calm and positive on busy days
• Take initiative and don’t wait to be told what to do
• Work well in a team environment
• Take pride in being organized and detail-oriented
• Are looking for a long-term home, not just a temporary job

Responsibilities

• Chairside assisting during pediatric procedures
• Taking radiographs
• Patient charting/notes
• Sterilization and infection control
• Preparing and turning over operatories
• Supporting efficient patient flow
• Helping create a welcoming, positive experience for children

Schedule & Growth

• Part-time to start (as we build the practice)
• Opportunity to transition into full-time as the practice expands
• We are seeking someone excited to grow with a startup and become part of the long-term foundation team

Compensation & Development

• Competitive hourly pay: $20–$30 per hour, based on experience
• Paid training
• Performance-based raises as the practice grows
• Opportunity for expanded responsibilities and leadership over time
• Future full-time benefits potential as we expand

This is not just a job — it is an opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up. We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, values teamwork, and wants to be part of creating a positive dental experience for children and families.

If you are dependable, compassionate, and ready to grow with us, we would love to meet you.
