Job description

General Dentist – Salem, Oregon

$40,000 Sign-On Bonus | Predominantly Fee-for-Service Practice

Gentle Dental is seeking a full-time General Dentist to join our established Skyline practice in Salem, Oregon. This is a unique opportunity to practice in a predominantly fee‑for‑service environment, allowing you to focus on comprehensive, relationship‑based dentistry while maintaining a high level of clinical autonomy. With fewer insurance‑driven limitations, you'll have the opportunity to provide the care you believe is best for your patients while building long‑term trust and treatment acceptance.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $40,000 Sign‑On Bonus
• Predominantly fee‑for‑service patient base
• Strong focus on comprehensive treatment planning
• Clinical autonomy with the support of an experienced team
• Opportunity to build meaningful, long‑term patient relationships
• Modern practice environment and technology
• Collaborative culture committed to clinical excellence and patient care
• Unlike heavily insurance‑driven practices, this fee‑for‑service model allows providers to spend more time educating patients, developing comprehensive treatment plans, and focusing on quality outcomes rather than volume.

Why Join Gentle Dental?

At Gentle Dental, we believe exceptional patient care begins with supporting our doctors. We provide the resources, operational support, and collaborative environment that allow clinicians to focus on what they do best—caring for patients. Our culture is built on:

• Patient‑centered care
• Clinical excellence
• Professional autonomy
• Accountability and teamwork
• Continuous learning and innovation
• Long‑term career growth and development

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation with significant earning potential
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Additional Pre‑Tax Savings Program designed to support personal savings goals and student loan repayment
• Life Insurance
• Short‑Term and Long‑Term Disability Coverage
• Malpractice Insurance
• Continuing Education Support
• Additional CE funding and partial License and DEA reimbursement after two years
