Job Overview
At Smile Designs of Southern Ohio, we are seeking a dedicated and skilled Associate Dentist to join our dynamic dental practice. The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in general dentistry and be passionate about providing exceptional patient care. This role requires proficiency in various dental procedures, effective communication skills, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of dental practice.

Our office is located 1 hour from Cincinnati. The practice is located in a small town, but if you want to live closer to the city, the commute is very easy. It really is the best of both worlds.
