Associate Dentist Opportunity

A Rare Career-Defining Position in a Premier Coastal Practice

An exceptional opportunity is available for a highly motivated dentist with at least 3 years of clinical experience who is ready to elevate their career in one of the most desirable coastal communities in the United States. This is not a typical associate position. It is a pathway to partial or full future ownership in a thriving, long-established dental practice in Newport Beach, California.

About the Practice

• Over 15 years serving a loyal, discerning patient base
• The practice operates primarily as a fee-for-service model and is not currently in-network with insurance plans
• There may be flexibility for an associate dentist to credential with insurance plans if clinically and strategically appropriate
• Ocean-view office, just blocks from the beach in one of the most affluent areas in the country
• Eight days of hygiene, consistently booked
• A highly trained, cohesive team with more than 10 years of staff retention
• The practice owner is a former faculty member at one of the dental schools in Los Angeles (intentionally unspecified)
• Thousands of hours of postgraduate training in prosthodontics, biomechanics, occlusion, full-mouth rehabilitation, and dental implant surgery
• You will work alongside an RDAEF2, significantly increasing clinical efficiency and allowing deep focus on diagnosis, treatment planning, and high-level restorative dentistry

What Makes This Opportunity Unique

This practice was built from the ground up, developing from a startup into one of the most respected and profitable practices in the region. The owner has dedicated more than a decade to its growth. It is his creation, and he is selective not out of ego but out of responsibility to his patients, staff, and the future of the practice.

If you are the right fit, this position can be career-defining.
Not given. Earned.
Not simple. Transformational.

This opportunity is designed for a dentist who is driven, humble, ethical, committed to excellence, and genuinely passionate about dentistry.

Expectations and Professional Development

This role is ideal for a dentist who wants mentorship at the highest clinical and philosophical level. You will learn directly from a clinician known for comprehensive diagnosis, occlusal principles, full-mouth rehabilitation, and disciplined treatment planning.

Requirements include:

• High teachability and low ego
• A desire for excellence without shortcuts
• Commitment to advanced continuing education
• Attendance at the Kois Center as a requirement for long-term associates

Schedule and Growth

• Begin at 1 to 2 days per week
• Significant opportunity for growth
• Potential for future ownership for the right candidate

Interview Process

All applicants will participate in a three-step interview process designed to ensure clinical alignment and readiness for a high-level private practice environment:

• Initial interview with the practice manager
• Interview with case presentation with the practicing dentist, including:
• Mounted models demonstrating proper tooth preparation
• Before and after photos of completed cases
• Working interview

This process is not intended to intimidate. It exists to ensure that any dentist joining the practice can uphold the clinical standards and patient experience the practice is known for.

Ideal Candidate

• A dentist seeking mentorship, not just a job
• Values precision, growth, and long-term patient relationships
• Ethical, compassionate, and committed to clinical excellence
• Looking for a long-term professional home with partnership potential

Not a Fit For

• Dentists focused solely on speed or volume
• Clinicians unwilling to pursue advanced education
• Anyone resistant to feedback, accountability, or refinement

Final Thought

Opportunities like this are rare. A long-established Newport Beach practice with an ocean-view location, exceptional hygiene program, loyal patient base, and a clear path for growth does not come on the market often.

For the right dentist, this will not be just another associate position.
It will be the opportunity that defines a career.
