Associate Dentist - Modern Comprehensive Practice

Pinewood Dentistry and Implants • Full-time • Cumming, Georgia, United States • $120k - $300k / year • 2w ago

Pinewood Dentistry is a modern, technology-driven private (non DSO or corporate) practice seeking an associate doctor for our Cumming, Georgia location. This position is ideal for a clinician who values comprehensive care, enjoys a highly collaborative environment, and wants to grow both clinically and professionally.

We are not a high-pressure “drill and fill” office. Our philosophy centers on patient relationships, thoughtful treatment planning, and delivering dentistry that improves the entire system — not just individual teeth.

This role is being added to support continued patient growth.

Schedule & Structure

This position is designed as a full-time role.

Four clinical days per week on average
Clinical days include Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
We can accommodate a three-day start with ramp-up if needed
Minimum of four days per week on average required for full-time consideration

Compensation

Percentage of collections
Daily guarantee for first four months
Guarantee equivalent to $85 per hour

Our associates typically earn between $120,000 – $300,000 annually, depending on clinical scope, efficiency, and production style.

Clinical Scope & Expectations

We are seeking a doctor comfortable practicing comprehensive general dentistry and capable of working independently.

Ideal experience includes:

Bread-and-butter restorative dentistry
Crown & bridge
Ability and willingness to perform some endodontics
Ability and willingness to perform extractions
Implant experience welcomed but not required
Experience with same-day dentistry or CAD/CAM workflows (CEREC or similar)
Familiarity with digital scanning (iTero preferred)

Most importantly, we value clinicians who can:

Diagnose and present comprehensive care
Phase treatment appropriately
Consider the entire oral-systemic picture
Communicate clearly with patients and team members

Practice Environment

Our Cumming location is a fast-growing, high-technology office seeing approximately 50–70 new patients per month.

We provide a fully digital clinical environment, including:

CBCT imaging
Intraoral scanning
CAD/CAM milling
3D printing workflows
Advanced restorative and surgical capabilities

We perform nearly all aspects of general dentistry other than removable prosthetics. Within Pinewood, doctors routinely provide Invisalign, sleep dentistry, implants, full-arch solutions, and advanced endodontics.

This is not an analog or ultra-slow practice model.

Who Thrives Here

We work best with doctors who:

Value time spent with patients
Enjoy a collaborative, mentorship-driven culture
Ability to grow into and practice 'The Pinewood Way' under the guidance of Dr. Fantaski
Are comfortable leading assistants and hygiene teams
Communicate treatment clearly to patients and treatment coordinators
Possess an ownership mindset toward patient care
Desire continuous clinical growth

New graduates are welcome. However, all candidates must be comfortable performing basic restorative procedures independently and practicing with strong clinical fundamentals.

Example expectation:

Ability to complete routine restorative dentistry using proper isolation (rubber dam) without supervision

Mentorship & Growth

Mentorship is a core part of Pinewood Dentistry.

Every doctor joining our team must be:

Open to coaching and feedback
Motivated to expand clinical capabilities
Interested in long-term growth within the practice

This is not a static role — we actively support clinical development.

Deal Breakers

This position is not ideal for clinicians seeking:

Extremely slow patient flow
Limited procedural scope
Analog / low-technology workflows
Emergency-only or drill-and-fill dentistry models

We deeply value each patient interaction and expect the same from our doctors.

Licensing Requirement

Active Georgia dental license required, as is active malpractice insurance.

1) CV / Resume Submission & Cover Letter (required) - describing clinical philosophy and career goal. Please submit this via Indeed or email to rebecca@pinewooddentistry.com
2) Initial Phone Conversation
3) In-Person Interview
Clinical Portfolio Presentation - Most candidates present a brief PowerPoint highlighting clinical work by email.
4) Working Interview (Multiple Days usually encouraged)
We want you to observe workflows, meet the team, and participate in patient care

We prioritize long-term alignment over speed of hiring and are willing to wait for the right fit.
