Your Responsibilities:

Yes, you’ll be diagnosing, drilling, and dazzling patients with your clinical skills—but let’s be real, we’re looking for more than just a steady hand and a sharp eye. You’re the kind of doctor who can explain a treatment plan without sounding like a textbook, build trust that keeps patients coming back, and lead a team like it’s second nature (with a few lame dad jokes along the way). If you’re all about high standards, continuous growth, and believe that leadership means serving first—welcome to the crusade.

Bonus points if RavingFans and EntreLeadership are already dog-eared on your bookshelf.

Diagnose and provide excellent patient care and treatment
We’re talking top-notch care that’s more "wow" and less "just okay"—because your reputation deserves to be as sharp as your skills.
Educate patients on oral health and treatment options
You’ll turn confusing dental jargon into "aha!" moments—and maybe even make flossing sound fun (or at least convincing).
Develop and maintain trusting, long-term patient relationships
From first visits to lifelong care, you’ll be the dentist patients trust—and yes, they might just bake you cookies.
Partner with and lead a supportive, experienced team
Think of it like being the captain of a winning squad—everyone’s here to help you (and each other) succeed.
Maintain high clinical standards and a positive work environment
Deliver the kind of quality you’d want for your own family—and create a vibe where people enjoy coming to work (no forced smiles required).

Qualifications:

You’ve completed a Pediatric Dental Residency, have your DMD or DDS degree, an active license with no drama attached, and a chairside manner that puts people of all ages at ease before they even sit down. You’re a confident communicator, a natural leader, and a team player who treats patients like people—not procedures. If you’ve got clinical chops, a collaborative spirit, and compassion baked into everything you do, we already like your style.

DMD or DDS from an accredited dental school
Active [state specific] dental license (in good standing, no disciplinary actions)
Strong communication and leadership skills
Passion for teamwork and treating patients with compassion

Your dream job called—it said to bring your handpiece and hit apply.
