Clinical Associate Dentist

Westport, United States

We are looking for an associate dentist who understands that individual success is the result of great teamwork. WE ARE A PRIVATE PRACTICE WITH ONE OWNER.

Dr. David Ahearn is the founder and owner of Perfect Smiles. He is a nationally recognized innovator in the dental industry. His passion for improving dental systems and methods is something he eagerly shares with the community and our practices on a day-to-day basis.

Dr. Ahearn is also founder and CEO of Design Ergonomics, the leader in high-performance dental office equipment, design, and training. This continues to be a tremendous & unique advantage for us by constantly providing us with advanced technology and systems.

He’s known throughout North America for his life’s work teaching others how to perform dentistry more efficiently.

He has and will continue to make an impact in the dental industry, but most importantly, he leads our mission to create a comfortable, secure, and safe environment for both our patients and our team members.

We have the best team in the South Coast area, and was voted by our community as the best dental clinic for two years in a row! We understand that success is a result of great teamwork and our culture is our number one priority.

By nurturing our team, our team’s culture, and our patients' experience, we have created a reputable brand that offers us a natural growth rate and security when needed.

With over nearly 30 years of continuous improvements, we have developed systems that other practices travel to benchmark us. We feel strongly about organized systems, thoughtless checklists, quality materials, and top of the line equipment and technology. We focus on eliminating wasteful and stressful steps that can have a negative impact on our team and culture.

We start off our day with an organized morning huddle, a plan, clarity (and maybe a few high fives!) - all helping to eliminate the day's stress and make the day more enjoyable.

You can expect to have a 4 day work week, consistent schedules, great benefits including matching retirement and health deductibles paid, and to get out on time because we have scheduled correctly with an under 10 minute patient wait time.

We spend countless hours on professional development, team outings, culture days, and celebrate together very often! Healthcare can be stressful and you never know what the day will bring to deliver exceptional “spa-like” care, so we feel strongly about having fun.

We look for people who realize that personal fulfillment comes from delivering care that leads towards a higher purpose. This is why we spend countless hours and resources giving back to our team, our communities, and even overseas during mission trips.

Our company is small enough to allow team members to be their unique selves; to learn, grow, and be appreciated for the work they do. And we're large enough to present real, long-term, career opportunities for the right people.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a dental healthcare professional is working with a passionate team who shares the same values. “Relax. Dentistry is easy here.”
