Dental Practice Administrator Jobs
A Dental Practice Administrator is a key professional in the dental industry who is responsible for managing the daily operations of a dental office. Their duties include scheduling appointments, handling patient inquiries, managing patient records, billing and processing payments, overseeing office budget, and ensuring compliance with regulations. They also coordinate with other dental professionals to ensure quality patient care and play an integral role in staff hiring, training, and retention strategies.
