Dental Receptionist Jobs in Pennsylvania

A Dental Receptionist is an essential part of the dental care team, providing crucial administrative support for dental practitioners and ensuring smooth operation of the dental office. They are responsible for scheduling patient appointments, updating patient records, billing and insurance tasks, and providing excellent customer service by answering patient enquiries. Dental Receptionists also handle emergency cases by assessing the urgency and guiding patients accordingly. They may also be involved in reminding patients about their upcoming appointments and follow-ups, thus contributing significantly to the patient care aspect of the dental office.

Being the first point of contact for patients, communication skills and professionalism are key assets for a Dental Receptionist. Computer literacy and knowledge of dental software are important as well. Some dental offices may prefer a Dental Receptionist with Certified Dental Receptionist (CDR) certification, as it showcases their competency in the role. Prior experience in customer service roles like a Call Center Agent or a Front Desk Associate would be beneficial. Additionally, a Medical Secretary in other healthcare settings could transition smoothly into the role of a Dental Receptionist. It's vital that they have a comprehensive understanding of medical terminologies, as well as the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
