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. This role is best suited for a dentist who understands the realities of a de novo ramp-up and is motivated by long-term upside rather than short-term guarantees.

Compensation & Growth

• 25% of collections
• No income cap
• $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)

• Proficiency in molar root canals
• Ability to perform simple and surgical extractions
• Efficient diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning

Schedule Commitment

• Weekends
• 11-hour shifts
• 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

Important Note

This position is not designed for dentists seeking limited hours, a narrow clinical scope, or guaranteed income beyond the initial ramp-up period. It is intended for dentists who want to help build a practice and be rewarded as it scales. If you are confident in your clinical abilities and motivated by opportunity rather than comfort, we encourage you to apply.
