Job Description

Practice Endodontics. Save Teeth. Build an Exceptional Career. 

At Gentle Dental, we're seeking a Part-Time General Dentist who has a passion

for endodontic treatment and wants to dedicate the majority of their practice to

root canal therapy and related endodontic procedures within the scope of general

dentistry in California.

Whether you've developed advanced endodontic skills through continuing education

or simply enjoy performing root canals, this is a unique opportunity to focus

your practice on the procedures you love while benefiting from the support,

technology, and patient base of an established multi-specialty organization.

You'll work alongside General Dentists and Specialists in a collaborative

environment, receiving a consistent flow of internal referrals

while maintaining the clinical autonomy to provide exceptional patient care.

Office Location 

* Gentle Dental Hayward - 24239 Hesperian Boulevard, Hayward, CA 94545

Why Join Gentle Dental?

Our vision is to provide exceptional, lifelong, integrated oral healthcare

services that improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
