Job Description

Associate Dentist | 4-Day Week | Redding, CA

Dr. Mullen's Practice | Redding, CA

The Patients Are Here. We Need Another Great Dentist.

You shouldn't have to spend months waiting for your schedule to fill.

Dr. Mullen's established Redding practice is growing and looking for a full-time Associate Dentist to join us four days per week. With approximately 50 new patients each month, a busy hygiene program, and strong demand for restorative care, there is already plenty of dentistry waiting for the right doctor.

And if you're a newer dentist looking for real mentorship? You'll find that here, too.

  • Why This One Is Worth a Look
  • 4-day workweek
  • Collections-based compensation + daily guarantee
  • Approximately 50 new patients per month
  • Established adult, senior, and family patient base
  • Strong demand for restorative and comprehensive dentistry
  • Experienced clinical and administrative team
  • Hands-on mentorship from Dr. Mullen
  • New graduates welcome
  • Sign-on and relocation assistance may be considered

Potential Future Ownership/buy-in Opportunity

  • The schedule is four days per week with Monday and Friday required and flexibility in choosing the other two days.
  • There's Already Dentistry to Do.
  • This position is open because of growth, need, and patient demand.

The practice has an established hygiene program, approximately 50 new patients coming in each month, and a significant amount of treatment opportunity already within the patient base.

You'll have the opportunity to provide a broad range of general dentistry, including crowns, fillings, root canals, extractions, preventive care, and comprehensive treatment.

You're not being brought in to create demand from scratch. The opportunity is already here.

New Grad? Come Ready to Grow.

You do not need to know how to do everything on day one.

Dr. Mullen is a highly skilled dentist with a thriving practice and is happy to mentor and support an associate who wants to learn. We're looking for someone who communicates well, cares about their patients, is open to coaching, and wants to keep getting better.

You'll have the opportunity to learn the practice, build relationships with patients, strengthen your clinical skills, and become increasingly independent.

Bring the right attitude. We'll give you room to grow.

We Want Someone Who Wants to Be Part of the Practice.

The right associate isn't coming in simply to fill a schedule.

We're looking for someone who will work alongside Dr. Mullen and the team, build trust with an established patient base, and become an important part of the practice.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You're

  • A strong communicator
  • Patient and relationship focused
  • Comfortable treating adults, seniors, and families
  • Open to mentorship and collaboration
  • Willing to help with hygiene when needed
  • Coachable without needing to be micromanaged
  • Interested in growing with a practice long term
  • And for the right person, that growth could potentially include future ownership or buy-in.

Four Days. Real Demand. Room to Grow.

  • There are already patients.
  • There is already dentistry to do.
  • And there is an experienced dentist who is willing to help you grow.

If you're looking for a four-day opportunity with strong patient demand, real mentorship, clinical growth, and the potential to build something long term, we'd love to meet you.

Apply today. Let's talk.
