Veterinarian - Dentistry Focused

Veterinarian – Dentistry Focused

Based out of Tigard Animal Hospital | Serving Neighboring NVA Hospitals

Tigard Animal Hospital is seeking a dentistry‑focused veterinarian who is passionate about elevating the standard of veterinary dental care across multiple hospitals. This unique role is ideal for a doctor who truly loves dentistry and wants to have a broader clinical impact by supporting several neighboring NVA hospitals in a travel capacity , while being based out of Tigard Animal Hospital.

Since 2003, Tigard Animal Hospital has been a trusted provider of high‑quality care in our community. Our modern, well‑equipped facility serves as the ideal home base for a veterinarian looking to focus on advanced dentistry while collaborating with other NVA teams.

Why Tigard Animal Hospital?

• Modern, Purpose‑Built Facility (Opened 2020):
  6 exam rooms, dedicated dental and surgical suites, and a spacious treatment area designed to support high‑quality dental workflows.
• Advanced Diagnostics & Equipment:
  Digital dental radiology, in‑house lab, ultrasound, and digital radiography.
• Progressive Culture:
  Feline‑friendly certified, and practicing fear-free with strong support staff and a culture focused on patient comfort and clinical excellence.
• NVA Network Support:
  The opportunity to collaborate with neighboring NVA hospitals that value and invest in advanced dentistry.

About the Role

This position is heavily dentistry‑focused and designed for a veterinarian who enjoys:

• Performing high‑quality dental procedures, including complex extractions
• Educating and mentoring hospital teams to improve dental standards and confidence
• Traveling to nearby NVA hospitals in the Portland Metro area to provide dentistry services and support
• Helping practices elevate their dental programs and client education

You will work closely with each hospital’s leadership and support teams to deliver consistent, exceptional dental care while serving as a trusted dentistry resource across the region.

What We’re Looking For

• DVM/VMD from an AVMA‑accredited institution
• Active (or eligible) Oregon veterinary license
• Strong interest and experience in veterinary dentistry
  (Advanced dentistry experience and extractions preferred)
• Ability to mentor other doctors in dentistry
• Comfort with travel within the Portland Metro area to neighboring NVA hospitals
• Excellent communication skills with both clients and hospital teams
• Collaborative, professional, and clinically confident
• Commitment to practicing high‑quality, ethical medicine

What You’ll Do

• Deliver exceptional dentistry services for dogs and cats, including advanced dental procedures
• Travel to neighboring NVA hospitals to provide dentistry coverage and mentorship support
• Serve as a dentistry resource for doctors and staff, promoting best practices
• Partner with our Mentor Doctor with Oregon State University Dentistry program
• Build strong client relationships through education and personalized care
• Help drive dental growth, efficiency, and quality across multiple hospitals
• Participate in continued learning and professional development

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to focus primarily on dentistry while enjoying variety, collaboration, and regional impact—without giving up a supportive home base. You’ll have the autonomy to practice dentistry at a high-level while being backed by strong hospital teams and the NVA network.
