The advantages of a career as a dental assistant in Paris
The French capital: an incomparable dental écosystème
Paris boasts the highest concentration of dental practices in France, creating a particularly dynamic job market for dental assistants. The capital brings together all possible modes of practice:
- Prestigious individual practices in the upmarket arrondissements of western Paris
- Ultimate dental centers in business districts
- Innovative multidisciplinary structures in inner-city Paris
- Clinics specializing in implantology, esthetics and orthodontics
- Private hospital facilities at the cutting edge of technology
This exceptional diversity allows you to choose your professional environment according to your preferences: The family atmosphere of a traditional practice, the dynamism of a busy center, technical specialization with recognized experts, or social practice within mutualist structures.
Côté rémunération, Paris generally offers salaries 10é15% higher than the national average, partially offsetting the higher cost of living. Career prospects are also more plentiful, with opportunities to specialize as a specialist assistant, or to progress to team coordination positions.
A unique living environment in the heart of a global metropolis
Working in Paris means daily life in a multi-faceted world-city:
- An exceptional concentration of cultural and architectural heritage
- An ultra-dense public transport network for efficient transportation
- A leisure and dining offer unrivalled in France
- Vibrant neighborhood life with a variety of atmospheres depending on the arrondissement
- An intellectually stimulating, cosmopolitan environment
Paris' urban configuration generally favors close proximity to home and work, or optimized commutes thanks to the metro and RER. Many dental assistants also choose to live in the inner suburbs while working in the capital, thus benefiting from more spacious accommodation while retaining the professional attractiveness of Paris.
