Why Work at Limestone Hills Orthodontics?
The team at Limestone Hills is small, the patient interactions are unhurried, and the work is genuinely varied. A clinical assistant who joins the practice in their first year out of certification is doing iTero scans, in-house 3D model printing, chairside bonding, and patient hygiene reviews in the same week. Roles are not narrowly siloed the way DSO clinical assistants often are.
Dr. Viecilli holds the practice to academic standards. Treatment plans are built from CBCT data, clinical decisions are explainable in plain language, and the team is expected to understand the biomechanics behind the appliances they help place. The training investment is real, and the resulting professional growth is a tangible part of the compensation package.
Most orthodontic openings in Austin run through DSOs. Dental service organizations that own multi-location chains and centralize HR, billing, and clinical decisions at a corporate level. Limestone Hills is the opposite model: a doctor-owned single-location private practice. The practical differences matter for the team day to day:
- Clinical decisions are local. Dr. Viecilli sets the standard of care and the workflow. Treatment recommendations are based on imaging and clinical findings, not on a corporate KPI for production per chair-hour.
- Patient relationships compound. The same team member sees the same family across the two-year treatment arc. Continuity is the norm rather than the exception.
- HR is in the building. Performance reviews, scheduling concerns, and benefit questions are handled by the practice manager directly. No 30-day round-trip to a corporate HR office.
- The schedule is a real schedule. DSOs frequently push evening and Saturday hours to hit production targets. Limestone Hills runs predictable weekday hours with one Saturday per month.
The trade-off is honest: a single-location private practice does not have the rotational opportunities of a DSO with 50 locations. Career advancement at LH happens by deepening expertise and assuming more responsibility within the practice rather than by transferring offices.
About the Roles at Limestone Hills
Orthodontic Treatment Coordinator
The treatment coordinator is the patient’s first point of contact after the consultation.
Responsibilities include presenting written treatment plans, walking patients and parents through the financial breakdown (insurance verification, OrthoSync in-house financing, Cherry, CareCredit, pay-in-full discount), scheduling the start-of-treatment appointment, and managing the active-patient communication during long treatment phases.
Strong written and verbal communication is essential. Prior orthodontic or dental front-office experience preferred.
Orthodontic Receptionist / Scheduling Coordinator
The scheduling coordinator runs the front-office rhythm: greeting patients on arrival, managing the calendar across check-ins and emergency visits, verifying insurance benefits, processing payments, and keeping the practice management software accurate. Friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and comfort with Dolphin or similar PMS software are preferred.
Orthodontic Dental Assistant
The clinical assistant works chairside with Dr. Viecilli on every appointment. Responsibilities include intraoral scanning with the iTero, taking clinical photographs, sterilization workflow, chairside assistance with bracket bonding and wire changes, and patient hygiene instruction. RDA or orthodontic assistant certification preferred.
The role is hands-on with technology; comfort with digital scanning and in-house 3D printing workflow is a plus.
Current Openings
Three roles are currently accepting applications. The practice evaluates candidates on a rolling basis and responds to every applicant in writing. Industry experience is preferred; the right attitude and willingness to learn the LH workflows matter more than a specific tenure number.
