Benevis’ Porter Dental & Braces Selected for the Dental Assisting National Board’s Great Practice for Dental Assistants to Work Award
24 Julio 2024 - 9:00AM
Benevis, a leading dental healthcare and orthodontics delivery
organization committed to providing quality care to underserved
communities, today announced that the company’s Porter Dental &
Braces dental home has earned a Great Practice for Dental
Assistants to Work award from the Dental Assisting National Board
(DANB). The Baltimore, MD, location was recognized for cultivating
a supportive and fulfilling environment for the Dental Assistants
that work there.
Dental Assistants are essential to dental practices and the
patients they serve. Research shows that dental practices and
clinics that value these employees by offering competitive wages,
benefits, work/life balance, and a positive team culture reap many
rewards, including reduced turnover, increased productivity, and
higher patient retention. The DANB Great Practice for Dental
Assistants to Work award celebrates the dental practices and
clinics where Dental Assistants love to work—like Porter Dental
& Braces.
“The Porter Dental & Braces team is thrilled to be
recognized as a Great Practice for Dental Assistants to Work by the
Dental Assisting National Board,” said Breanna Wallace, Dental
Assistant at Porter Dental & Braces. “It’s a very special
dental home with a focus on fostering camaraderie and a positive
team dynamic by celebrating team achievements, participating in
volunteer opportunities like Sharing Smiles Day (a day of free
dental care to uninsured or underinsured patients), engaging in
team-building activities, promoting open communication and
collaboration, aligning team members with shared goals and vision,
and maintaining supportive leadership. These efforts create a
cohesive, motivated, and positive work environment where every
member of our team feels connected and valued.”
With this accolade, Porter Dental & Braces is celebrated for
its collaborative team culture, commitment to professional
development, competitive compensation, mission-driven focus,
dedication to serving underserved communities and patients covered
under Medicaid, and emphasis on work-life balance. Dental
Assistants at Benevis and Porter Dental are empowered to grow
professionally while making a significant impact on the lives of
their patients giving them a sense of purpose and fulfillment,
knowing that their work directly contributes to improving the oral
health and overall well-being of those in need.
“At Benevis, our Dental Assistants are so essential to our
ability to transform the smiles of the thousands of patients we see
at locations like Baltimore’s Porter Dental & Braces,” said
Bryan Carey, Benevis CEO. “We are so proud of the tireless work
that these team members put in every day. In recognition of their
efforts and appreciation of their dedication to their patients, we
strive to create a positive and nurturing working environment where
they always feel appreciated. It is an honor to receive the Dental
Assisting National Board’s Great Practice for Dental Assistants to
Work Award, which is a testament to our collective efforts to make
all of our dental homes safe and supportive places to go to
work.”
As an organization, Benevis is committed to supporting Dental
Assistants through ongoing education and opportunities for growth
and advancement. In 2023 the company implemented a new Dental
Assistant Onboarding and Training program designed to put its next
generation of team members on the best path to success. Through
standardized, professional training and development, the Onboarding
and Training program serves as a comprehensive introduction to
Benevis operations with emphasis on Dental Assistants’ education
during the first 60 days on the job. Benevis has also created
additional job classifications that recognize and compensate for
the increased skills and capabilities Dental Assistants accomplish
during their tenure with the company.
