Associate Dentist – Serenity Grove Dental (Part-time)

Join Our Brand-New Practice & Amazing Team!

Serenity Grove Dental opened its doors in January 2025 in the Wellington, FL, and we’re building something special. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide exceptional dental care in a spa-like environment where patients feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home.

We are seeking a high-caliber Associate Dentist who is passionate about comprehensive care, patient relationships, and clinical excellence. This role starts with Saturdays and Mondays, with a clear path to expanded days and hours as our patient base grows over the coming months.

If you’re a dentist who wants a long-term home in a modern, private practice — not a corporate mill — we’d love to meet you.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

• Modern, spa-like office: Brand-new facility with up-to-date technology, digital systems, and a calming, boutique feel.
• Patient-centered philosophy: We prioritize comfort, education, and long-term health - not high-pressure sales.
• Amazing team culture: Supportive, positive, and collaborative — we treat each other like family.
• Clinical autonomy: Practice dentistry the right way, with time to diagnose, plan, and deliver high-quality care.
• Room to grow: More days and clinical hours as the practice expands; opportunity to shape protocols, services, and patient experience.
• Community involvement: Opportunities for local outreach, wellness events, and community engagement in Wellington and the broader South Florida area.

The Associate Dentist provides comprehensive general dentistry with a strong emphasis on patient education, prevention, and long-term relationships. The ideal candidate is clinically strong, ethical, and focused on patient care and comfort.

You’ll be a key partner in helping us grow the practice and define what Serenity Grove Dental stands for in the community.
