Job description

Overview

We’re Fully Staffed. Isn’t That Where You Want to Be?

Ever wonder why you don’t see many dentist openings with MINT dentistry—especially in our most sought-after locations?

There’s a simple reason: our dentists tend to stay.

We may not have the right opening for you today, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t know each other. Join our talent network, learn more about what makes MINT different, and be among the first dentists we contact when the right opportunity becomes available.

Better yet, ask us to connect you with a MINT dentist and hear about the experience directly from someone doing the job.

Shouldn’t you be the first person we call when something opens up?

• Work-Life Balance — Flexible scheduling, great working hours, three weeks of time off, and opportunities close to home. We believe an exceptional career shouldn't require sacrificing your life outside of dentistry.
• Marketing That Keeps You Busy — MINT's in-house marketing engine drives consistent patient demand and reliably full schedules year-round—averaging approximately 700 patients per office each month and 101 new patients per doctor.
