Job Description

Exciting Opportunity for an Associate Dentist!

Well-Established, Thriving & Busy Family-Owned Practice

Are you an Associate Dentist looking for an opportunity to grow your skills, build a strong patient following, and practice high-quality dentistry in a supportive environment? We are a well-established, thriving, and busy family-owned general dentistry practice seeking an Associate Dentist to join our team.

This is an excellent opportunity for either an experienced dentist or a motivated new graduate who is passionate about providing outstanding patient care and wants to continue developing clinically and professionally. Our practice is focused on comprehensive dentistry, excellent patient experiences, and creating long-term relationships with the families we serve.

Unlike a large corporate environment, our practice is privately and family-owned. We value our doctors and team members as individuals and believe in providing our dentists with the support, resources, and clinical freedom they need to provide excellent care.

About the Opportunity

Our practice has an established patient base and a consistently busy schedule. We are looking for an Associate Dentist who is ready to become an important part of the practice and take an active role in providing comprehensive care to our patients.

You will have the opportunity to diagnose, treatment plan, and provide a broad range of general dental services while working alongside an experienced and supportive team. We want a dentist who takes pride in their work, communicates well with patients, and is interested in continually improving their clinical skills.

For a newer dentist, this position offers the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in a busy practice while developing confidence and expanding clinical abilities. For an experienced dentist, this is an opportunity to step into an established practice where you can be productive, build strong patient relationships, and practice dentistry at a high level.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for more than someone who simply wants to come to work, see patients, and go home. We would like to find a dentist who genuinely enjoys dentistry and wants to make a difference in patients’ lives.

The ideal candidate is professional, personable, dependable, and committed to providing excellent care. You should be comfortable communicating treatment recommendations to patients and helping them understand the importance and value

Schedule & Work-Life Balance

  • We believe dentists can have a successful, rewarding career without sacrificing their entire personal life.
  • Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • No weekends!

The predictable weekday schedule provides the opportunity to build a successful dental career while still maintaining time for family, friends, and interests outside of work.

Why Join Our Practice?

This is an opportunity to join a successful, established practice with a strong patient base and a busy schedule rather than having to start from scratch.

You will be joining a team that values quality dentistry, professionalism, teamwork, and patient satisfaction. We are looking for someone who wants to establish themselves within the practice, continue growing as a clinician, and become an important part of our future.

If you are a dentist who is enthusiastic about your profession, enjoys working with patients, and wants the opportunity to achieve the highest levels of dentistry, we would love to hear from you.

Take the next step in your dental career and join a thriving, family-owned practice where your skills, growth, and contribution will be valued.
