Absolute Dental
Poor managers
Lead Dental Assistant/ Back Office Supervisor (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – November 15, 2018
They will put anyone in a management position. In the office I worked at there was a manager who would let staff sit in the back and eat while on the clock. She was young and had poor management and did not know how to delegate very well. This company needs to do more coaching for managers.
Pros
I had a job
Cons
Everything
You are just a number!
Dental Assistant (Former Employee) – Reno, NV – January 26, 2019
Working for Absolute Dental , you are just a number and they don't care for Patient care as much as a private office does. They are all about the money something I could not stand behind.
Pros
Great place to learn
Cons
you don't get hours
Worst place to work
Manager (Former Employee) – Reno, NV – December 28, 2018
Horrible management, unrealistic production goals, stressed daily on selling treatment to patients as if your a cars sales men, no help from upper management it’s sell sell sell numbers numbers huge turnover with staff.
Unethical and disreputable
Dental Assistant (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – July 18, 2018
Poor management with no structure. Not being appreciated for hard work. This place is a factory where patients are treated as dollar signs. Doctors charging insurance companies and patients for procedures that are not completed. In other words insurance fraud. Employees do not follow OSHA and dental board guidelines and cross contamination is a regular occurrence. You’re reminded constantly that if you don’t like how things are being ran that you can go work somewhere else. There is so much favoritism you’ll turn into the red headed step child.
Pros
Compensation
Cons
Everything else
Treats employees poorly
N/a (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – July 1, 2018
Treats staff members super unfairly . Massive favoritism with management. Only concerned with how much money they can make per day. Don’t work here!!! Offices are super outdated and management does not want to make any improvements. Even patients comment on how run down the office looks. Benefits are ridiculously overpriced. It is corporate dentistry at its finest. They also do not care at all about their employees.
Pros
Typically didn’t work past get off time
Cons
does Not care about their employees
Relaxing and friendly work environment
Call Center Specialist (Current Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – July 1, 2018
I Love coming to work every day, my co workers and management are not only very professional but we are like a family, there are classes the company offers to further our education in the dental field, you never stop learning, we help the community with different charities and the company always has special events for us to be a part of, I would highly recommend working for Absolute Dental it is a great place to work.
Pros
great team work
Cons
none
Great place to work
Office Manager (Current Employee) – Reno, NV – July 10, 2018
I have been with absolute 6+ years and have learned so much in my time here. I enjoy working here for the most part, but then no where is perfect! I love all my fellow co-workers, the doctors, the management is better than what it use to be. The benefits got better over the years. If you are looking for a fun place to work and gain knowledge along the way, this is the place to be.
great work place!
Dentist (Current Employee) – Orland Park, IL – October 16, 2018
Absolute Dental/ Orland Park is a great clinic to work for. The clinic is privately owned and has a great home/work balance. The clinic strives to provide high quality of care and cares about their patients and employees.
Great company
Call Center Representative (Current Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – June 21, 2018
Working at the Call Center is fun and high pace. We have a great hand-picked group of people with many years working for the company. Everyone is always willing to help so you can learn a lot in a short amount of time. Best management I've ever had in 17 years. Sometimes you have difficult customers but management is really good at stopping the situation quickly if things escalate to profanity (rarely), etc...The most enjoyable part of the job is to work every day with a great group of people. We really work as a TEAM.
Pros
Management, Co-workers, Culture
Cons
No 401K match, Low PTO
Great place to work in
DENTAL ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – McAllen, TX – August 8, 2018
The doctor and staff are very kind, they are also very patient when training students. Great experience overall. The location is also convenient as well as the schedule. Mostly saw adults rather than children.
Advancement is possible due to higher turnover
Office Manager (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – January 30, 2019
Absolute Dental is the worst company I’ve ever worked for. The way that they operate is incredibly inefficient. They make corporate decisions to make it as hard as possible to work smart. The expectations are out of touch with reality and forces offices to understaff which causes extremely long wait times for patients. It’s frustrating and embarrassing to be put in that position. Patients get angry and we get yelled at often. Billing is a nightmare. Physical charts are so outdated and gross. The staff is grossly underpaid and the medical benefits are so expensive that most hourly staff struggle to pay for it or don’t enroll at all. Absolute Dental is constantly saying one thing and then changing their minds at the last minute which is so frustrating. The amount of paper that is used at this company is unbelievably wasteful. But on the bright side, the turnover is so high at Absolute Dental which makes advancement a reality and something that happens pretty quickly. But be prepared to work hard and be grossly underpaid. Another note - corporate leaders and upper management are terrible, but most office managers and staff are great!!
Pros
Advancement opportunities
Cons
Corporate leaders and RDOs, medical unaffordable, low pay, locations are sketchy
Keep looking Don’t stop here
Current employee (Current Employee) – Las Vegas – February 22, 2018
Poor management, they don’t respect you. Office managers have more control than the providers.
No room for advancement, they always hire from outside, when the best person for the job is already here.
No pay raise in 3 years, no performance evaluation, just shut up and work.
Lot of favoritism, everyone’s family members work here, so if you don’t fit in the click, you should just quit.
Always sent home, hired as full time but only get about 27 hours a week. Paychecks are very small.
Very exhausting work days with nothing to show for it. Work hard 1 day to meet production goals then they send you home early the next day.

Great management and benefits
Really love my job!
Claims Specialist (Current Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – March 7, 2018
I have worked at Absolute Dental in the Corporate office for a little over 7 months. This is one of the highlights in a 37 year career in dentistry, Every day I am inspired by my higher ups and my team mates.The management is very encouraging and keeps us all informed of our successes and what we need to work on. The work environment is very comfortable and friendly. The hardest part of my work day is wrapping things up at the end of the day, sometimes I want to stay and finish things but we are encouraged to pace ourselves and not get over worked.I can honestly say that I hope this is the company that I retire from. I still have a good 10 work years ahead of me and if they are spent at Absolute dental it will be a fine finish to my career.
Pros
Extremely supportive atmosphere
Cons
If you don't want to work, this isn't the place for you. No coasting through the day.
Great Place
Leadership (Current Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – January 29, 2018
I have worked for multiple dental companies throughout my career and I will say that Absolute Dental BY FAR is the most supportive of its team members and stands by what they say. Absolute is heavily into giving back to our community, and believes in continuing education for all team members. My boss is the BEST boss I have EVER worked for... and that is not an exaggeration. Benefits package is comprehensive and the working environment is collaborative and supportive.
Pros

Lack of respect for back office
Stressful workplace and very unorganized
Orthodontic Billing Specialist (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – December 18, 2017
It seemed to be ok for the supervisor to get away with sleeping at her desk. The place was very unorganized. They say there is room for advancement, but truth is, they play favoritism and already have in mind whom they want to promote.
Cons
healthcare, no room for advancement
