The Opportunity

This is a full-time role in a new office with new equipment and a growing patient base, for a dentist who wants a 4-day week, real autonomy, and a practice to grow into.

You'll practice a broad scope of general dentistry, including:

• Extractions
• Fixed and direct restorative
• Select endodontics
• Comprehensive exams and treatment planning

Mentorship is available in whatever form you want it: a formal mentorship program for a newer dentist building confidence, or informal guidance as requested for an experienced clinician who wants autonomy. Our owner also developed the EndoSim System, an endodontic training simulator used by dental students and practicing dentists, so mentorship in endo here comes with hands-on training tools.

You'll be supported by a modern, fully digital office, including:

• Digital X-rays and panoramic imaging
• Modern endodontic and implant equipment
• Electric and air-driven handpieces
• Open Dental practice management

There is a path to partnership for a dentist who wants to build a long-term future here.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is:

• A licensed general dentist; new grads welcome, experience not required
• Confident in general dentistry, or eager to get there with mentorship
• Personable, driven, and clinically well-rounded
• A team player who thrives in a positive, fast-paced environment
• Interested in long-term growth and partnership
