Job description

Big Smiles Dental | Gander, Newfoundland Full-Time | 50% Draw | Signing + Retention Bonus Your dream schedule is waiting for you. Big Smiles Dental is an established, high-demand practice in Gander, Newfoundland, with an inherited patient base, strong new-patient flow, and a schedule currently booked 3+ months in advance. With a patient base of 4,000+ new patients and continued demand for care, this is an opportunity to step into a busy practice where you can ramp up quickly, practice with autonomy, and become an integral part of a welcoming community.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Immediate Patient Demand - Walk into an established patient base with consistent new-patient flow and a schedule booked months ahead.
• 50% Draw + Bonuses - Competitive 50% draw, plus signing and retention bonuses.
• Clinical Autonomy - Practice the dentistry you want to practice, with opportunities across restorative dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, implants, prosthodontics and orthodontics.
• Leadership Opportunity - For an experienced dentist looking for more than an associate position, there is an opportunity to take on greater clinical leadership and help shape the continued growth of the practice.
• Technology to Support Your Scope - The practice is equipped with Dentrix, iTero, CBCT, 3D printing, nitrous sedation and the Nobel implant system.

You’re the Right Fit If…

You may be a new graduate or newly licensed dentist in Canada looking for a busy practice where you can build experience quickly.

Or, you may be an experienced clinician ready for greater autonomy, leadership and the opportunity to make an established practice your own clinically.

Either way, you’ll have the patient demand, technology and team around you to build a strong long-term practice.

If you’re looking for a practice where the patients are already there and the opportunity to lead is real, let’s talk.

• Network of Experienced Dental Professionals: You will have opportunities for formal and structured mentorship with esteemed team members and colleagues and access to industry-leading experts in various dental disciplines.
• Path to Partnership: dentalcorp provides a clear path to practice leadership for Associates who wish to move beyond their clinical role and become the business leader of a practice.
