Job Description

The Staff Pad is partnering with a high-caliber, patient-focused dental practice to identify an experienced Associate Dentist for a unique and growth-oriented opportunity in Bloomfield, CT.

This is not a typical associate role. The practice delivers elevated, comprehensive care with a loyal patient base that values quality, consistency, and clinical excellence.

This is a growth-driven role for a dentist ready to step into an established, high-performing practice and build a strong patient base.

  • Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Well-established practice with a loyal, high-expectation patient base
  • Broad clinical scope including endodontics, implant placement and restoration, and orthodontics (Invisalign)
  • Opportunity to perform advanced procedures in a sophisticated clinical environment
  • High-touch, relationship-driven patient experience
  • Steady new patient pipeline supporting long-term growth
  • Structured, efficient workflow with strong clinical standards
  • Supportive team with additional clinical staff being added to optimize efficiency and workflow
  • What You’ll Do

Provide Comprehensive General Dentistry with an Emphasis On

  • Root canals (preferred)
  • Implant placement and restoration
  • Clear aligner / orthodontic treatment
  • Deliver restorative work at a high clinical standard
  • Build long-term relationships with a growing patient base
  • Adapt to and uphold the practice’s established care model and patient experience
  • Deliver consistently high-quality clinical care
  • Contribute at a high level from day one

What We Are Looking For

  • DDS or DMD
  • Eligibility for CT licensure
  • Experienced clinician with 8–10+ years of experience
  • Additional Skills and Attributes
  • Strong diagnostic skills and clinical confidence
  • Excellent communicator with a natural ability to connect with patients
  • Growth-minded and adaptable to an established, high-performing practice

If you’re an experienced dentist who takes pride in your clinical expertise, values meaningful patient relationships, and is ready to make an immediate impact, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to explore this opportunity!
