Associate Dentist – Focus on Sleep & TMJ/TMD Disorders

Compensation: Competitive Daily Rate + Transition to Production-Based Pay

Type: Full-Time

Transform Lives at the End of the Pain Cycle

Are you passionate about helping patients finally escape the chronic pain loop? We’re seeking a motivated and compassionate Associate Dentist to join our dedicated team focused solely on Sleep Apnea and TMJ/TMD dentistry.

This is not your typical dental role — it’s a rare opportunity to work with a population that is actively seeking relief and transformation. Patients come to us as a last stop in their pain journey, ready for answers, and ready for change. You’ll be a key part of that change.

What You’ll Do

• Work in a highly specialized clinical environment focusing on appliance therapy, TMJ rehabilitation, and sleep medicine protocols.
• Start with a structured apprenticeship under an experienced Sleep & TMJ Doctor — shadow, learn, and begin hands-on work with support.
• Transition to independent clinical practice as competence grows.
• Eventually move to a collections-based compensation model, reflecting your impact and production.
• Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team of assistants, administrators, and external sleep medicine professionals.
• Learn proprietary systems, from diagnostics to documentation, and how to work with medical billing and BeamReader submissions.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Lucrative Earnings Potential: This niche field allows for high-value casework and a meaningful collections path once ramped.
• Deep Mentorship: Gain direct, ongoing mentorship from a clinical leader in Sleep and TMJ therapy.
• Modern Clinical Protocols: Utilize ALF, Gelb, Panthera, and Spark technologies — we’ll teach you everything.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy consistent hours, meaningful patient relationships, and minimal emergencies.
• Impact-Driven Culture: Our mission is centered on resolving chronic head and neck pain, sleep dysfunction, and restoring patient vitality.
  
  

You’re a Fit If You

• Have a DDS/DMD and are licensed to practice in Virginia.
• Are curious and passionate about the neuroscience and biomechanics behind sleep and TMJ dysfunction and/or have grown tired of traditional dentistry and are looking to make a different medical impact without leaving the industry..
• Thrive in a structured learning environment, but have the drive to eventually take clinical ownership.
• Want a future that looks different from drilling and filling all day — and believe there’s more dentistry can do for people.
