About Davis Dental Center:
Davis Dental Center is a premier dental office in Louisville Kentucky that is based on good, moral values and the bottom line of helping our patients achieve the healthy smile they desire. We believe in doing the best work possible the first time in the best way possible. We treat each patient as if they are our family members. We are a modern, recently renovated dental practice in the Louisville area, providing top notch dentistry to all our patients. Our practice is paperless and digital, runs very smoothly utilizing Dentrix software, with ultra-low dose digital x-rays utilizing Dexis and Romexis systems (bitewings, periapicals, panerox x-rays and CT scans). All our doctors perform same-day CAD/CAM crowns and other indirect restorations and they are also utilizing two iTero scanners for most of their cases for a digital format. Davis Dental is a heavy implant-based office, where all doctors place, restore and maintain implants on a daily basis. Many patients find our office and complete their dental procedures utilizing sedation dentistry (nitrous, oral conscious sedation and IV conscious and general sedation). We also perform many surgical procedures, orthodontics with Invisalign and pediatric procedures.
Davis Dental Center boasts brand-new state-of-the-art equipment and a recent renovation of our 5000 square foot facility, including 17 operatories, in-office lab and steri-center. We are a multi doctor team, comprised of 4 highly trained doctors and 5 exceptional hygienists. Each doctor has two assistants, but all the assistants are cross trained to work with any of the doctors. The environment is fast-paced and enjoyable. Our team is supportive, energetic, and compassionate. We are looking for our next two assistants to complete our awesome team, looking specifically for a team player who can multitask and take initiative in patient care and loves to come to work with a smile and great attitude.
