Job description

We are seeking a clinically strong, performance-oriented Associate Dentist to join a de novo practice with an aggressive growth strategy and strong new-patient acquisition.

• $800/day guaranteed for the first 3 months during ramp-up
• Patient volume will build progressively; earnings scale directly with clinical productivity
  

Clinical Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

• Ability to perform simple and surgical extractions
• Efficient diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning

Schedule Commitment

• Weekends

• Includes evenings (up to 7pm) and weekends
• Extended hours are essential to our access-driven model

Who Will Succeed

• Dentists comfortable being measured by results
• Professionals who remain engaged and patient during early ramp-up
• Strong team players who contribute to a high-accountability environment
• Clinicians who value growth, consistency, and long-term earning potential
