Associate Dentist

Job Summary- Associate dentist for Thursday, Friday and 2 Saturdays a month.

Most Associate Dentist jobs suck !! Ours does not. Private owned Fee-For-Service General Dental practice that has been established for 60 years.

Do you want to practice dentistry 30 minutes from midtown Manhattan? Would you like a non-corporate office with mentorship ? Would you like a place where your voice matters and you can grow into the clinician you want to be?

We are seeking a dedicated and energetic Associate Dentist to join our dynamic dental team. In this vital role, you will deliver comprehensive dental care to patients across all age groups, ensuring optimal oral health and patient satisfaction. Your expertise will help foster a welcoming environment where patients feel confident in their care, and your proactive approach will contribute to the growth and success of our practice. This paid position offers an exciting opportunity to apply your clinical skills in a fast-paced, patient-centered setting while advancing your professional development.

We are a growth mindset practice. Qualified candidates should possess proven leadership skills, be patient centric, driven to perform and truly care for their patients through empathy, respect and a desire to do the right thing.

o We offer a balance of autonomy and mentorship in a very technologically advanced office. We are equipped with CBCT, 2 intraoral scanners ( Trios and an itero 5D+) and 3d printing. Clinical Autonomy Trust is key. We believe you, the dentist, should always have complete freedom to treatment plan the way you feel provides the best patient care possible.

o You won’t find quotas here. Instead, we’ll set goals together and design a realistic path to achieve them. We know you’ve got some serious skills and we will let you put those to use! You’ll have the opportunity to provide the services that excite you without ever feeling like your potential is limited. Every doctor is different and we feel your earning potential should reflect the effort you put in. Whether an experienced doctor or a relatively new grad (1-2 years out), you’ll have an initial minimum guaranteed salary to give you peace of mind as you settle into your new practice. As you win, the practice wins and you should be rewarded for that. We are looking for a long term associate and we want you to succeed.

Our hope is to partner with you in providing the highest quality care to our patients and helping you to grow your personal career along the way. Please join us on our mission to provide quality, compassionate dental care and help us change the way people feel about going to the dentist. We are excited to speak to you soon!
