Job Description

Part-Time Pediatric Dentist – Indio, California

1 DAY PER MONTH | ESTABLISHED PATIENT BASE | FLEXIBLE SPECIALTY OPPORTUNITY

Gentle Dental is seeking a Part-Time Pediatric Dentist to join our established practice in Indio, California.

With a commitment of just 1 day per month, this is an excellent opportunity for a Pediatric Dentist looking to add a limited number of clinical days to their existing schedule while benefiting from an established patient base and the support of an experienced dental team.

You can focus on providing exceptional care to your young patients while our team supports scheduling, patient coordination, and day-to-day practice operations.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Only 1 day per month
  • Established patient base with built-in opportunity for pediatric care
  • Clinical autonomy to diagnose and treatment plan based on what is best for your patients
  • Experienced clinical and operational support
  • Collaborative environment with General Dentists and other dental professionals
  • Flexibility to complement an existing practice or schedule
  • Malpractice insurance provided
  • Continuing education opportunities

Focus on Your Patients. We'll Support the REST.

At Gentle Dental, our Pediatric Dentists have the clinical autonomy to provide care based on the individual needs of each child while benefiting from the resources and support of an established dental organization.

Our local team supports scheduling, patient coordination, and practice operations so your clinical days can remain focused on what matters most: creating positive dental experiences and providing high-quality care for children and their families.

Practice Location

  • Gentle Dental Indio
  • 81557 Dr. Carreon Boulevard, Suite D-3

SCHEDULE: 1 day per month, making this an ideal opportunity to complement an existing practice or clinical schedule.

Benefits

  • 401(k) and Additional Pre-Tax Retirement Savings Plan
  • Malpractice Insurance
  • Continuing Education Opportunities
  • Additional CE allowance plus partial California License and DEA reimbursement after two years

Qualifications

  • DDS or DMD from an accredited dental school
  • Completion of an accredited Pediatric Dentistry Residency
  • Active California dental license in good standing or ability to obtain prior to employment
  • Current CPR, DEA, and NPI
