Dental assistant job questions, answered
Is SkillCheck free for dental assistants?
Yes. Creating a profile, seeing your matches and accepting a position is free. There is nothing to download — it works in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop.
Do practices see my name before I accept?
No. Your name, email and phone stay hidden until you accept a position. Practices first see your match score, role fit, commute range and availability.
How are dental assistant jobs matched?
Every open role is scored against your profile on pay, commute distance, role and skills, schedule and workplace fit. You only see roles scoring above 70%.
Can I look for temporary or per diem coverage work?
Yes. You can set your availability to full time, part time, per diem or temporary coverage, and only get matched to roles that need those days.

Hiring a dental assistant instead?
