Associate Orthodontist- Premier Orthodontics

• Associate Orthodontist
• Full-Time or Part-Time | Belmont & SouthPark (Charlotte Metro), NC
• Monday – Friday | No Weekends

About the Opportunity

Premier Orthodontics is a growing new orthodontic practice serving the Charlotte metro area. We're looking for an orthodontist who wants to help build and grow a practice. We currently see patients in two locations, Belmont and SouthPark.

Our practice operates inside an established pediatric dental office. This gives you a steady, built-in flow of young patients and families who already trust the office, along with daily working relationships with the pediatric dentists. You'll spend your time treating patients, not chasing new ones.

This is a chance to make a real impact early on. You'll help shape the patient experience, the clinical systems, and the culture of a practice that is set up for long-term growth.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Built-in referral stream: An in-house pediatric dental partnership provides consistent new-patient exams and early-intervention opportunities.
• Focus on clinical care: Our team handles scheduling, insurance, financial arrangements, and front-office operations, so you can focus on patients.
• Earning potential that grows with you: Competitive base compensation plus bonuses tied to case starts and debonds.
• Weekday schedule: Monday through Friday only, so your evenings and weekends stay yours.
• Flexibility: Full-time and part-time options for both early-career and experienced orthodontists.
• Ground-floor growth: Join a new practice early and grow into more responsibility and leadership as we expand.
• Collaborative culture: Supportive colleagues, multidisciplinary care with pediatric dentistry, and a team that celebrates great results.
• Desirable locations: Practice in two of the Charlotte area's most active communities, with great quality of life, schools, and amenities.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base compensation, based on experience
• Production bonuses: incentive pay for new case starts and completed debonds
