Associate Dentist – Digital Practice + Path to Lead Role

Burnsville, United States | Posted on 04/21/2026

The Staff Pad is partnering with a modern, fully digital dental practice in the Burnsville area to identify an Associate Dentist for a unique growth and succession opportunity.

This role is ideal for a dentist who wants hands‑on mentorship, advanced technology, and a clear path to stepping into a primary clinical role over time.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Clear succession path into a lead clinical position
• Fully digital, tech‑forward practice environment
• Strong mentorship with gradual autonomy
• Opportunity to expand skills in endo, extractions, and sleep dentistry

About the Practice

• Established general dentistry practice with a strong community presence
• Collaborative team including multiple hygienists and dental assistants
• Fully digital workflow — no traditional film
• Efficient systems designed to support high‑quality patient care

Technology Highlights Include:

• Intraoral scanning and digital workflow integration
• Cone beam / 3D imaging (CBCT)
• Advanced endodontic systems and tools
• Clear aligner treatment capabilities

The Opportunity

The incoming associate will work closely with the current provider, gaining independence over time and ultimately stepping into a primary clinical role.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build strong patient relationships from an existing base
• Grow into independent clinical leadership
• Develop skills across a broad scope of dentistry

What You’ll Do

• Perform procedures including endo, extractions, and sleep-related treatments
• Utilize advanced digital tools for diagnosis and treatment planning
• Collaborate with the lead provider on patient care and mentorship
• Contribute to patient growth and long‑term practice success

Who You Are

• DDS or DMD (or eligible for Minnesota licensure)
• 2–3 years of experience preferred
• Strong communicator who connects easily with patients and team members
• Confident working independently while also valuing mentorship
• Growth‑minded and interested in long‑term opportunity

Schedule

• 3–4 days per week to start (Monday–Thursday)
• Opportunity to expand schedule as the practice grows

What You Can Expect

• A clear path toward increased responsibility and leadership
• Supportive mentorship with room to grow independently
• Access to advanced technology that enhances clinical care
• A stable, growth‑oriented environment designed for long‑term success
