Our long-established, doctor-led private group practice in Grants, NM is seeking a full-time Associate Dentist (W-2, benefits eligible) to join a collaborative team with strong patient demand and efficient systems.
Experienced dentists are preferred, but we’re absolutely open to a graduating dentist or current resident who is coachable, clinically thoughtful, and excited to grow in a high-support environment.

Schedule & Hours
