Dental Assistant I

At Real Life Dental, our patients are our highest priority. Our dentists and team give our patients full attention, offering a full range of services. We provide quality care in a warm, relaxing environment and use the latest technologies to ensure precise, comfortable treatments. We are committed to our patients' smile and comfort, and work hard to help them achieve and maintain a healthy smile for life.

Do you have a passion for helping patients feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smiles? We're looking for a Dental Assistant who shares our fanatical focus on patients and wants to make a meaningful impact every single day.

At Real Life Dental- Blacksburg, we believe that patients remember 100% of how we make them feel . That's why we go above and beyond to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere where every patient feels understood, supported, and valued.

Our Core Values

Fanatical Patient Focus

With a single-minded zeal for our patients, we deliver creative oral health solutions and the highest level of treatment in a judgment-free environment.

We know patients remember 100% of how we make them feel-so we obsess over creating a relaxed, compassionate atmosphere that builds trust, manages pain, and inspires confidence. Our genuine care shows in our words, our smiles, and the WOWs we earn every day.

Radical Candor

We value open, honest communication because relationships-both with patients and teammates-matter most.

We welcome feedback as our friend, speaking with authenticity and humility. We believe the best in one another and address concerns quickly and directly, because "what goes unsaid can never be understood."

Obsessive Commitment to Excellence

We take ownership of our personal and professional growth. Every team member plans their work, works their plan, and follows through with reliability and pride. We hold ourselves-and one another-to high standards, protecting our most valuable assets : people, time, and trust.

Creative Advantage

We're creators and problem-solvers, united toward a common goal. Together, we stretch beyond our comfort zones, face challenges with fortitude, and drive results that make people say, "That's unbelievable!" Our collaborative creativity gives us a competitive edge-and keeps our work exciting and meaningful.

Infectious Enthusiasm

We're fueled by joy and genuine care. Our laughter fills the halls, our smiles are contagious, and our energy uplifts patients and coworkers alike. When you join our team, you'll feel it-and so will every patient who walks through our doors.
