Lead Associate Dentist | $180K–$350K+ Annual Earning Potential | Clinical Excellence + Partnership Track | Path to 49% Ownership | Santa Clarita, CA

We are building a different kind of dental practice—one centered on clinical excellence, patient trust, and long-term vision.

This is a modern, prevention-focused, relationship-driven practice designed to move away from insurance-dependent, high-volume dentistry and toward predictable, high-quality comprehensive care.

Our goal is to create a flagship-level clinical environment where dentistry is done at a higher standard, patients stay engaged long-term, and providers operate with clarity, support, and purpose.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation: $180,000 – $350,000+ annually

Structure: Production-based with strong upside tied to clinical growth and expanded scope

Daily Guarantee: Available (details discussed based on experience and schedule)

This role is designed for a dentist who understands that clinical growth and production go hand-in-hand in a high-trust, high-expectation environment.

The Opportunity

This is a lead associate role with a clear path into clinical leadership and equity ownership (up to 49%).

You are not stepping into a standard associate position—you are stepping into a role where you will help shape clinical standards, elevate treatment quality, and contribute to the long-term direction of the practice.

This is a growth-focused environment with strong systems already in place, meaning you will not be left to “figure it out”—but you will be expected to think like an owner and elevate your clinical decision-making.

Clinical Focus Includes:

• Comprehensive treatment planning
• Cosmetic & esthetic dentistry (veneers, smile design)
• Restorative dentistry (crowns, bridges, implant restorations)
• Digital dentistry workflows (scanning, planning, execution)
• Occlusion-focused care with training encouraged in Kois / Spear / Pankey / LVI pathways
• Hygiene-driven diagnosis and co-discovery

Clinical Philosophy:

• Focus on doing the right dentistry, not high-volume dentistry
• Emphasis on case acceptance through trust and communication
• Strong hygiene foundation supporting long-term patient relationships

Patient Flow & Growth Opportunity:

• Consistent flow of new patients entering the practice
• Currently referring out endo, extractions, and implants
• Immediate opportunity to bring high-value procedures in-house for a strong clinical producer
• Direct path to increasing production, autonomy, and long-term value in the practice

Technology & Systems

• Modern digital workflows
• Intraoral scanning and digital treatment planning
• Systems designed to reduce friction and support clinical excellence
• Strong, trained team that supports efficient, high-quality dentistry

Ideal Candidate

This role is for someone who is:

• A licensed General Dentist (or eligible in California)
• Think like an owner, not an employee
• Comfortable with or eager to learn comprehensive and cosmetic dentistry
• Interested in clinical mastery and long-term growth
• Open to mentorship pathways such as Kois, Spear, Pankey, or LVI
• Motivated by leadership, autonomy, and equity opportunity

Who This Is NOT For

• Someone looking for a short-term associate job or paycheck role
• Someone uncomfortable with comprehensive treatment planning conversations
• Someone preferring high-volume, insurance-driven dentistry
• Someone not interested in growth, leadership, or ownership

Who This IS For

• A dentist who thinks like an owner
• Values diagnosis, relationships, and comprehensive care
• Wants to master cosmetic and full-scope dentistry
• Is already trained in or actively pursuing advanced continuing education (Kois / Spear / LVI / Pankey)
• Wants a real, structured path to partnership (up to 49%)

Long-Term Vision

We are building a state-of-the-art flagship practice that demonstrates what modern, prevention-first dentistry should look like.

Our model prioritizes:

• Strong hygiene foundation
• Long-term patient relationships
• Reduced insurance dependence
• Predictable, high-quality new patient flow

This creates a practice where:

• Patients stay longer and accept comprehensive care
• The schedule remains productive without volume pressure
• The team operates with clarity, consistency, and alignment
• Patients do not “fall out the back door”—they remain engaged, healthy, and committed
