Job description

About the Opportunity

SALT Dental Partners and Chesapeake Pediatric Dental are opening a new orthodontic practice in Perry Hall, Maryland, and we're looking for an orthodontist to help build it from day one.

This is a rare chance to join a practice with patients already waiting. You'll have a built-in referral pipeline from Hakan O. Koymen, DDS, MS, of Chesapeake Pediatric Dental, a trusted pediatric dentist with an established patient base and strong community relationships. You bring the clinical skill and vision, and we provide the referrals, infrastructure, and support to help you grow.

Schedule and Growth Path

• Growth: Schedule expands as patient volume builds, with a clear path to full-time
• Well suited to an orthodontist looking for a low-risk way into practice ownership-style growth, or to add a growing location to an existing schedule

What You'll Do

• Diagnose, treatment plan, and manage orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults
• Provide comprehensive treatment with braces, clear aligners, and other appliances
• Deliver early interceptive (Phase I) treatment in collaboration with pediatric dental partners
• Build strong referral relationships with Dr. Koymen and other local providers
• Help shape the patient experience, clinical workflows, and culture of a new practice
• Partner with the SALT Dental Partners team on operations, marketing, and growth strategy

Requirements and Qualifications

• DDS or DMD from an accredited dental school
• Certificate or master's in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from a CODA-accredited residency program
• Active Maryland dental license, or eligibility for licensure, with orthodontic specialty credentials as required by the Maryland Board of Dental Examiners
• Current DEA registration (or ability to obtain), CPR/BLS certification, and radiology credentials as required
• Proficiency with modern orthodontic techniques, including fixed appliances, clear aligners, and digital treatment planning (intraoral scanning, 3D imaging)
• Strong diagnostic and treatment-planning skills with a commitment to quality outcomes
• Excellent communication skills with patients, parents, and referring doctors
• Comfort working with pediatric and adolescent patients and their families
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to grow a practice
• Board certification or eligibility with the American Board of Orthodontics is a plus
• New graduates are welcome to apply, and experience is a plus

What We Offer

• A pre-established referral relationship with Chesapeake Pediatric Dental
• Support from SALT Dental Partners for business operations, HR, billing, marketing, and compliance, so you can focus on patient care
• A brand-new practice where you help shape the space, systems, and team
• Growth from part-time to full-time as the practice builds
• Competitive compensation
