Job Description

Endodontic-Focused General Dentist – Vista, California

PART-TIME | 1+ DAY PER WEEK | STRONG INTERNAL REFERRAL NETWORK

Love ENDO? Build Your Practice Around It.

Gentle Dental is seeking a Part-Time General Dentist with a strong interest and experience in endodontic treatment to join our established practice in Vista, California.

This is a unique opportunity for a General Dentist who genuinely enjoys root canal therapy and wants to dedicate the majority of their clinical schedule to endodontic procedures within the scope of general dentistry.

With an established network of General Dentists and Specialists, you will benefit from a consistent flow of internal referrals, modern technology, and the clinical and operational support to focus on the procedures you enjoy most.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Endodontic-focused schedule with strong internal referral volume
  • Established patient base with immediate production opportunity
  • Competitive percentage of production in the mid-30s
  • Flexible schedule starting at 1 day per week
  • Opportunity to add additional days based on your availability and patient demand
  • Clinical autonomy within the scope of general dentistry
  • Collaborative multi-specialty environment
  • Modern technology supporting endodontic diagnosis and treatment
  • Experienced clinical and operational support
  • Continuing education and advanced clinical development opportunities

Focus on the Dentistry You Enjoy

If endodontics is the part of general dentistry you look forward to most, this role gives you the opportunity to make it a larger part of your practice.

Your schedule will be designed around endodontic care, with internal referrals from our established network helping create consistent patient flow.

Appointments can be structured to provide the clinical time needed to deliver thoughtful, high-quality treatment without sacrificing efficiency.

Depending on your experience and comfort level, procedures may include root canal therapy on anterior teeth, premolars and molars, endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, emergency endodontic care, pulpotomies and pulpectomies, core buildups, and management of dental pain.

For cases requiring specialty-level treatment, you will also have the ability to collaborate with our network of specialists.
