Job description

Description

Join an established endodontic practice where a broad, tooth-saving scope of care meets a deeply patient-centered approach. The team helps patients find relief from dental pain and preserve their natural teeth, with same-day appointments available for patients who need timely care.

Whether you’re an experienced Endodontist or nearing the end of residency, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a supportive team, access mentorship as you grow into the practice, and build a long-term future with a clear path to partnership.

A practice built around preserving teeth

The practice’s mission is to pair specialized care with compassion, expertise, and trust. The team brings decades of combined experience and works to help every patient feel respected, informed, and comfortable throughout treatment.

The clinical scope reaches beyond routine root canal therapy to include retreatment, endodontic microsurgery, apicoectomy, cracked teeth, dental trauma, tooth resorption repair, and regenerative endodontics. 3D oral imaging and sedation options support diagnosis and patient comfort across care needs.

A strong clinical foundation

• A meaningful range of cases: Provide care spanning root canal therapy and retreatment through microsurgery, apicoectomy, dental trauma, and tooth-preserving treatment for complex needs.
• Technology that supports clinical judgment: Use 3D oral imaging and endodontic technology to inform diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Comfort matters here: Help patients feel at ease through clear communication, a compassionate approach, and available sedation options.
• Mentorship and peer support: Newer doctors can access mentorship and experienced colleagues as they become part of the practice.

Life in Wilmington

• The coast close by: Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure beaches offer easy ways to spend time on the water, walk the shore, or get outside on weekends.
• Downtown with character: Explore the historic riverfront and Riverwalk, with local restaurants, shops, arts, and community events.
• A lively social scene: Find live music, breweries, theater, festivals, and places to meet friends around downtown and the riverfront.
• Room for family adventures: Enjoy parks, museums, gardens, the aquarium, and beach outings for weekends with family.
• A place to make your own: Choose the energy of downtown, a coastal community, or a quieter neighborhood and build a routine that fits your life.
