Job Description
Join a longstanding oral surgery practice serving Rutherford County since 1966. With offices in Murfreesboro and Smyrna, the team offers a broad clinical scope—from implants and bone grafting to full-mouth reconstruction—alongside a family-centered approach to care.
Whether you’re an experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or nearing the end of residency, you’ll find a supportive team, access to mentorship and peer support, and the opportunity to build a long-term future with a clear path to partnership.
A Longstanding Practice with a Personal Touch
The practice’s approach centers on thoughtful diagnosis, comprehensive case planning, meticulous surgery, and dedicated follow-up. Patients and families are treated with kindness and respect, and the team makes availability a priority for people facing urgent dental needs.
The clinical mix includes dental implants, implant-supported restorations, bone grafting, full-mouth reconstruction, wisdom teeth, facial trauma, and oral pathology. Same-day appointments are available, and the practice incorporates LPRF into appropriate procedures to support healing.
A Strong Clinical Foundation
A broad restorative and surgical scope: Work across implants, implant-supported restorations, full-mouth reconstruction, bone and gum grafting, wisdom teeth, facial trauma, and oral pathology.
Thoughtful surgical techniques: Use LPRF as part of appropriate treatment plans, with anesthesia options available to support patient comfort and care needs.
Mentorship and peer support: Newer surgeons can access mentorship and experienced colleagues as they become part of the practice.
A path to partnership: Join a majority doctor-owned organization, where eligible doctors can pursue partnership and equity early in their career.

Downtown with a local feel: Explore Murfreesboro’s Public Square, with locally owned restaurants, shops, and community events, including seasonal live music.
Make time to get outside: Find greenways, wetlands, parks, trails, golf, and recreation throughout Murfreesboro and Smyrna.
Family-friendly discoveries: Visit the hands-on Discovery Center, explore historic Cannonsburgh Village, or enjoy outdoor play and seasonal activities.
Smyrna’s outdoor side: Spend weekends on multi-use trails, at Sharp Springs Park, or at the Smyrna Outdoor Adventure Center.
