Job Description

Patients remember how you made them feel long after the appointment ends. At Wendell Family Dentistry, we’ve built a reputation on care that’s personal, consistent, and high-quality. We’re looking for a part-time Associate Dentist who values those relationships as much as we do — and who’s ready to grow with a practice that patients genuinely trust.

  • What You’ll Walk Into
  • Thursdays: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (team huddle at 7:40 AM, because we like to start together)
  • Fridays: 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM (team huddle at 6:40 AM, coffee encouraged)
  • Who You’ll Be Here

You’ll be more than “the dentist.” You’ll be the one kids wave to in the grocery store, the one who gets grandparents smiling, and the one families trust with their everyday care.

Skills That Will Help You Shine Here

  • DDS/DMD (of course!)
  • Confidence with general dentistry across all ages — especially kiddos
  • Restorative dentistry as your bread and butter
  • Bonus points if you’re comfortable with same-day crowns, extractions, dentures, and implants
  • A good communicator and a team player (no solo heroes — we’re in this together)
  • What You’ll Get Back
  • A competitive pay model built for stability and growth
  • CE reimbursement so you keep learning (and bringing cool new skills to the chair)
  • The peace of mind that comes with working in a practice where patients stick around for life

Why Us?

Because we’re not trying to be the biggest practice. We’re trying to be the practice where patients and team members feel seen, heard, and cared for. And when you show up here, you’re not just another dentist — you’re part of the fabric of Wendell.

Key Responsibilities

Provide high-quality, personal dental care to patients of all ages within a family practice setting. Collaborate with the dental team to ensure consistent patient experiences and effective clinical outcomes.

Requirements

Must hold a DDS or DMD degree and possess confidence in general and restorative dentistry. Candidates should be effective communicators and team players who are comfortable working with pediatric patients.

Doctoral or professional degree (postgraduate degree)
