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.

This practice is located in an eligible community where qualifying dentists may receive up to $60,000 in federal Canada Student Loan forgiveness over five years.*

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.

Benefits of Joining Our Team:

• Associate Development Program: A structured yet flexible learning initiative with curated offerings from top clinicians and mentors where you will receive individualized learning & development plans, Priority access to free in-person learning & webinars, discounted rates on courses and access to Study Clubs and online professional communities.
• Ortho Acceleration Program & Align Partnership: A strategic partnership with Align Technology that provides exclusive benefits, dedicated learning opportunities and enhanced treatment planning support.
• Implant Program: Our Associates benefit from customized training and dedicated learning opportunities for implant placement and restoration, supported by our strategic partnership with Nobel Biocare.
• 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.

About You:

• Graduate from an accredited DDS/DMD Program or successful completion of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) Equivalency Process
• Registered and in good standing with provincial licensing requirements
• Valid CPR certification
