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.

- Structured, efficient workflow with strong clinical standards
- Supportive team with additional clinical staff being added to optimize efficiency and workflow

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
