Get Your Dental Assistant Resume in Front of the Right Practices
Dental assistants are the operational core of any dental practice, handling everything from four-handed chairside assistance and radiograph exposure to sterilization protocols and patient education. With approximately 350,000 employed across general dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric practices, competition for coveted positions at group practices and DSOs is intense. Many dental practices now use HR software and ATS tools that screen for DANB CDA certification, RDA licensure where applicable, state-specific expanded functions, and software like Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Carestream. ResumeRefiner.ai helps you close the gap between your experience and what the posting requires.

How Resume Refiner Helps You
Tailored solutions for your specific career goals
DANB CDA and State RDA Credential Positioning
The DANB Certified Dental Assistant credential and state Registered Dental Assistant licensure are primary screening criteria. Our AI ensures your credentials are prominently displayed and formatted in the way ATS systems parse them correctly.
Specialty Practice Alignment
A general dentistry posting, an orthodontic practice, and an oral surgery office each use different clinical terminology. Our AI identifies the specialty and checks that your resume uses the matching language — bracket placement vs. extraction assistance vs. implant procedures.
Dental Software Recognition
Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and Carestream are frequently required. If you have hands-on experience in these platforms and your resume does not name them, our AI surfaces the omission before you submit your application.
Expanded Functions and EFDA Credentials
States that allow expanded function dental assistants have specific credential requirements. Our AI checks whether the posting is seeking EFDA capabilities and whether your resume appropriately reflects your scope of practice for that state.
Infection Control and Sterilization Language
OSHA compliance, infection control protocols, autoclave operation, and EPA sterilization standards are non-negotiable in dental settings. Our AI verifies these competencies are clearly articulated in your resume.
Patient Communication and Case Presentation
DSOs and group practices increasingly look for dental assistants who can support case acceptance conversations. Our AI identifies whether the posting emphasizes patient communication and flags opportunities to strengthen that aspect of your resume.
