Job description

Job Description

Position: Associate Dentist (Full-Time/Part-Time)

Not Your Average Associate Role

Are you tired of being told you’ll just be "doing fillings" for three years?
Let’s be real: Dental school gave you the degree, but true mastery happens in the chair. We aren’t looking for a "drill-and-fill" robot; we are looking for a future clinical leader who wants to perform high-level dentistry in an environment that fully supports the learning curve.

At Secure Dental, mentorship isn't just a buzzword—it’s our daily operating system.

Why This Is the Best Place to Start Your Journey:

• Mentorship That Actually Happens: You’ll have scheduled case review sessions with Dr. Jafri to go over treatment plans, review CBCT scans, and troubleshoot complex extractions, implant cases or aesthetic cases.
• The Technology You Want: We are fully digital, featuring 3Shape Scanners, Printers, CBCT, AI-assisted radiography (Ascend) and AI assisted note taking capabilities, and Waveone Endo, Aspetico motors.
• Clinical Freedom: We want you to develop your own "hand." While Dr. Jafri provides guidance, you won't be micromanaged on how you prep a crown or interact with your patients.
• A Team That Has Your Back: Our assistants are highly skilled at anticipating your needs, they are prophy and sealant certified and our front office manages the schedule to keep your chair full without burning you out.

The Mission:

As our Associate Dentist, your primary goal is to provide comprehensive, high-quality care while building long-term trust with our community. You are the clinical lead in your operatory, responsible for diagnosing, treatment planning, and executing care with excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Comprehensive Diagnosis: Perform exams and hygiene checks with a focus on systemic health.
• Clinical Excellence: Execute restorative, endodontic (anterior/premolar), and surgical procedures. (We offer in-house US training for implants and molar endo if you're interested!)
• Patient Education: Help patients understand their treatment options clearly so they feel empowered to choose the care they need.
• Collaborative Leadership: Lead your chairside team with kindness and clarity.

What You Bring to the Table:

• DDS or DMD from an accredited program (New grads are highly encouraged to apply).
• An active [State] license (or pending license). - A growth mindset and a commitment to lifelong learning.
• Empathy and a patient-centered approach to care.
