Careers

Join the Crown Isle Dental family.

We've built an upscale practice where clinical excellence meets a supportive, family-oriented culture. We're currently hiring two full-time dental assistants, and we're always happy to hear from great people even when nothing is posted.

Values-led, not corporate

Independently owned since 1996. Decisions here are made by the people who work in the clinic, not a head office three provinces away.

Growth is real, not a slogan

Continuous in-clinic training, clear advancement pathways, and access to the latest technology. Your skills will grow here.

Island life, real flexibility

A flexible work week designed to let you actually enjoy everything the Comox Valley has to offer.

Why here

What both roles have in common

No evening shifts

Our hours are set and they finish in the afternoon. You get your evenings back, which is rarer in this field than it should be.

Modern kit, actually used

Intraoral scanner, in-house 3D printer, digital X-rays, VELscope, air purification, and no paper charts anywhere.
