• Mentor and guide your clinical support team (assistants and hygienists)
• Partner with HR and operations to recruit, retain, and develop the right talent
• Play a key role in daily huddles, risk reporting, and clinical excellence initiatives
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, dental board regulations, and internal policies

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

• Holds an active DDS or DMD license in good standing
• Is confident practicing as a solo provider
• Has strong clinical and diagnostic skills, including comprehensive restorative care
• Excels in patient communication and education
• Enjoys the responsibility and reward of building relationships and growing a practice
• Is a strong leader and team collaborator, even in a solo clinical setting
• Understands clinical compliance, documentation, and operational efficiency

Why This Role Is Unique:

• Opportunity to lead the clinical direction of your own practice
• Be the face of the office—establishing patient trust and loyalty
• Supported by a trusted, growth-focused dental group
• Access to CE, modern tech, and a network of clinical resources
• Competitive compensation and professional development support

If you're a self-motivated, growth-minded dentist ready to be the go-to provider in a community-centered practice, we’d love to hear from you.
