Job Description

  • Cool, Caring Associate Dentist Wanted... Adults Only, Great Patients, Zero Drama (Goodyear, AZ)
  • Millennium Dental Arts | Goodyear, AZ
  • Compensation: Competitive Associate Compensation
  • Estimated Earning Potential: $200,000–$250,000 annually based on production
  • Employment Type: Full-Time - 4 Days Per Week
  • Position: Experienced Associate Dentist (DDS/DMD)
  • Hello...
  • First, thanks for taking the time to read this.
  • And more importantly...
  • Thanks for becoming a dentist.

It takes years of school, countless hours of studying, and a tremendous amount of dedication (and probably a mountain of student loans) to get where you are today.

Our team genuinely appreciates what dentists do because we couldn't care for our patients without someone who loves helping people.

  • Maybe we're exactly what you've been looking for...
  • A Little About Us...
  • Millennium Dental Arts is a modern, well-established private practice that's been serving Goodyear since 2005.

About two-thirds of our patients are fee-for-service, and the remainder are primarily Delta Premier. That means we don't spend our days racing from operatory to operatory trying to make insurance companies happy.

  • Instead, we spend our time taking care of patients.
  • One thing that makes us different...
  • We're an adults-only practice.
  • That means no busy pediatric schedules, no screaming toddlers, and no running between hygiene checks for kids.
  • Our patients are primarily adults and retirees who value quality dentistry, trust their dentist, appreciate good communication, and are willing to invest in their oral health.
  • Many have been with us for years.
  • They're wonderful people.
  • The Schedule - Full-Time Means 4 Days Here
  • We're looking for someone who wants to become part of our practice for the long haul.
  • Full-time at our practice is four days per week - not five.
  • Ideally, your regular schedule would include Mondays and Fridays, plus two additional weekdays.

You'll have the stability and earning potential of a full-time position while maintaining a four-day clinical schedule.

  • We don't gossip.
