Job description

Don't choose between a thriving career and a life you actually enjoy. Elevate both in the Columbia Gorge.

Are you tired of the associate grind in a saturated city, where high production means high stress and zero free time? Or maybe you're worried that moving to a smaller community means taking a massive pay cut?

It doesn't have to be that way. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your lifestyle to build a rewarding, highly profitable dental career.

At Pine Ridge Dental in The Dalles, Oregon, we are looking for an Associate Dentist who wants to practice Dentistry Elevated.

We’ve built our practice to craft smiles and build relationships — for our guests and our team.

The Opportunity:

• Competitive Compensation — Step into a role with a competitive base salary or up to 30% of adjusted production. Our busy, established practice means you won't be waiting around for patients. You start producing and earning immediately.
• Mentorship & Growth — Whether you want to master implants, learn cosmetics, or perfect your composite artistry, you will have the support, modern digital tools, and the team to help you grow.
• The Lifestyle — Leave the traffic behind. The Dalles offers a minimal commute and 300 days of sunshine. You are minutes away from world-class windsurfing, kiteboarding, hiking the 8-mile Riverfront Trail, or skiing on Mt. Hood. Work hard for 3–4 days a week and actually have the energy to enjoy the rest of your time.

If you are ready to enhance your career, restore your work‑life balance, and join a team that values open, honest communication and a little bit of wit — we want to meet you.
