records technician
*Job Overview*
Oasis Orthodontics is a busy, patient-focused orthodontic practice dedicated to creating confident smiles in a warm, supportive environment. Our team values accuracy, teamwork, and great patient care. We're looking for a detail-oriented Records Technician to join us.
*About the Role* The Records Technician captures and manages the diagnostic records our doctors use for treatment planning and progress tracking. You'll often be one of the first team members a new patient meets, so a friendly, reassuring manner is just as important as technical skill.
*Key Responsibilities*
- Take high-quality diagnostic records, including intraoral and extraoral photographs, panoramic and cephalometric radiographs, and digital intraoral scans
- Take alginate impressions and pour, trim, and label study models when needed
- Upload, organize, and maintain patient records accurately in our practice management software
- Prepare records for new patient consultations, progress checks, and debond appointments
- Explain each step of the records process to patients and parents in a calm, clear way
- Follow infection prevention and control protocols and radiation safety standards
- Keep imaging equipment, cameras, and scanners clean and in good working order, and report issues promptly
- Support the clinical team with chairside assisting, sterilization, or other duties as needed
*Qualifications*
- Level I or Level II Dental Assisting certificate (required)
- Current registration in good standing with the provincial regulatory body, where applicable
- Radiography qualification (required for taking radiographs)
- Current CPR/BLS certification
- Orthodontic experience is an asset but not required; we're happy to train the right person
- Experience with digital intraoral scanners (e.g., iTero) and orthodontic practice software (e.g., TOPS Ortho) is an asset
- Strong attention to detail and good organizational skills
- Comfortable with technology and learning new systems
- Warm, professional communication with patients of all ages
