Who we're looking for

We Hire for Heart. We Train the Rest.

No dental background? That's okay for a lot of our roles. Here's what we can't teach — and what matters most to us.

01

Caring by nature

You notice the nervous patient before anyone tells you. Taking care of people isn't a job skill for you — it's just who you are.

02

Great with people

You can put a stranger at ease in thirty seconds, whether they're four years old or ninety-four.

03

A team player

You'd rather win as a team than shine alone. You jump in when someone's slammed, and you let others help you too.

04

Mature & dependable

You show up when you say you will, you own your mistakes, and people can count on you. (You'd be amazed how rare that is.)

05

Capable & coachable

You pick things up quickly, you ask good questions, and you want to keep getting better at what you do.

06

Comfortable with the “sales” part

A big part of caring for patients is helping them understand their treatment, their insurance, and their options — and helping them say yes to care they need. Never pushy. Always honest.

“We can teach you dentistry. We can't teach you to care.”

Ways to join the team

Where You Could Fit

Some of these roles need experience. Some of them we'll train you for from day one.

Dental Assistant — Trained to RDA

Work chairside with our doctors and become a Registered Dental Assistant without going back to school. Arkansas allows dental assistants to earn their RDA permits through on-the-job training with a licensed dentist. That means the same credentials from the State of Arkansas, without the thousands of dollars in dental assisting school tuition — and you get a paycheck while you learn.

Same RDA permits. We pay for the courses.

Local dental assisting programs run around $4,000. Here's what the path looks like at Mint instead:

  1. Start as a dental assistant and learn chairside from our doctors and experienced RDAs.
  2. Complete the Board-approved courses for each permit (x-rays, coronal polishing, nitrous) — Mint pays for your courses.
  3. Get CPR certified and pass the state's Dental Practice Act exam.
  4. Earn your RDA permits from the Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners.

This is a real investment we make in the right person. It's a great fit if you're dependable, quick to learn, and want a career — not just a job.

Front Desk & Patient Coordinator

You're the first voice patients hear and the first face they see. You'll make every person who walks in feel like family, keep the schedule running, help patients understand their treatment and insurance, and help them get started on the care they need.

  • We teach you the dental side — scheduling, insurance, and treatment conversations
  • Great fit if you've done hospitality, retail, restaurant, banking, or customer service work
  • A front-row seat to our Thursday free care days and Free Dental Days

  • Open Monday–Friday until 7pm, weekends off
  • Use your skills to serve neighbors who lack access to a dental home

“Working here has changed my life. We work hard and laugh HARDER. It gets tough sometimes but I know I’ve got great FRIENDS backing me up. This team functions so well because we all LOVE AND RESPECT each other!”

“I feel so fortunate to be part of an office that doesn’t just feel like a workplace, it feels like family. We show up for each other every day, and we show up for our community too. Being part of something that genuinely cares, both for the people we work alongside and the patients we serve, is something I will never take for granted.”

An honest fit check

Is Mint Right for You?

We'd rather be upfront now than waste anyone's time later.

You'll love it here if…

  • You want your work to mean something beyond a paycheck
  • You light up around people — patients, kids, coworkers, all of it
  • You like being part of a close team that pitches in for each other
  • You want to grow, and you're willing to put in the work to do it

It's probably not a fit if…

  • Pay is the only thing you're shopping for
  • You'd rather work on your own than as part of a team
  • Talking with people all day wears you out
  • “On time” feels more like a suggestion

Tell Us About You
