Job Description

Associate Dentist | Private Practice | 4-Day Workweek | Advanced Digital Dentistry

Dover Dental Center — Toms River, NJ
Job Type: Full-time
Schedule: Four days per week
Work Location: In person

An established patient base. Technology you can actually use. Room to build the career you want.

Dover Dental Center is looking for an associate dentist to join our growing, privately owned practice. Our office combines strong patient demand, modern digital workflows, hands-on mentorship, and a team that supports comprehensive patient care.

Our previous associate earned approximately $250,000 annually working four days per week , primarily performing bread-and-butter general dentistry. There is additional growth opportunity for a dentist who brings—or wants to develop—skills in molar endodontics, cosmetics, complex treatment planning, Invisalign, and implant dentistry.

Whether you enjoy building a strong general dentistry practice or want to expand into more advanced procedures, we offer the equipment, collaboration, and continuing education support to help you move forward.

Historical associate earnings reflect individual results and are not a guarantee of future compensation.

About Our Practice

Our mission is the PAQ Promise: Patient-Centered, Affordable, Quality dental care. We deliver on that promise through teamwork, thoughtful treatment planning, and technology that supports diagnosis, communication, and clinical care.

• 450+ five-star patient reviews.
• 30+ new patients per week on average across the practice.
• 95%+ practice collection rate , tracked through Dental Intelligence.
• A modern, seven-operatory office renovated in 2024.
• A typical daily schedule of two treating dentists, with two operatories and two assistants per dentist.
• Three hygienists per day, with one-hour hygiene appointments.
• Administrative and treatment coordination support for scheduling, patient communication, and treatment follow-through.
• An oral surgeon providing care in the practice two days per week.

We value continuity of care and lasting patient relationships. We want you to know your patients, take ownership of their treatment, and have a team you can turn to for support.

A Digital Workflow Built for Everyday Use

Our technology supports the full process—from diagnosis and patient education to planning, design, and fabrication:

• Two iTero Lumina scanners available for provider use , supporting digital impressions, restorative planning, and Invisalign workflows.
• SprintRay Pro55, Pro2, and Midas printers , supporting in-house 3D printing and digital restorative workflows.
• A central workstation with exocad design capabilities.
• In-house CBCT, digital panoramic imaging, and implant surgical planning software.
• Overjet AI-assisted diagnostics for radiographic review and patient education.
• Overjet AI-assisted note-taking to support clinical documentation.
• Dental Intelligence reporting for practice performance and collections.
• Open Dental digital charting and practice management.
• DCI treatment chairs with dual monitors for patient education and entertainment.
• Built-in NSK electric handpieces and ultrasonic scalers.
• Digital intraoral radiography with handheld and mounted units.
• Dentsply endodontic motors for WaveOne Gold instrumentation.

We are also developing our in-house laboratory capabilities for fixed and removable restorations.

Mentorship and Clinical Growth

Practice owners Dr. Kyle Ditmars and Dr. Brian Falk , both 2017 graduates, offer mentorship in clinical dentistry, treatment planning, business management, and continuing education. Dr. Falk has completed a two-year implant training program at NYU.

• Molar endodontics.
• Cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, and comprehensive restorative care.
• Complex treatment planning and full-mouth rehabilitation.
• Invisalign and clear aligner treatment.
• Implant restoration, implant placement, and guided surgery.
• Digital design and 3D printing.

Our broader services include oral surgery, sedation, dental sleep medicine, and TMJ care, providing additional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Benefits and Professional Support

• One week of paid time off.
• $5,000 annual continuing education contribution.
• $1,000 annual professional licensing contribution.
• Malpractice coverage.
• Medical benefits.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Access to our CFO and financial services company for guidance on taxes, retirement planning, and investments.
• Direct access to practice owners for clinical and business mentorship.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a dentist who wants to make a serious, long-term commitment to our practice and take an active role in its growth. Our goal is to build an office around this provider’s clinical strengths, patient relationships, and leadership.

With plans to expand to a third office by 2027 , we are looking for an associate who wants to help shape that growth—contributing ideas, strengthening the team, and taking ownership of the patient experience. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to build a lasting career and help lead a practice forward.

Future profit-sharing opportunities may be available based on sustained commitment, performance, and leadership, with terms established through a separate agreement.

Qualifications and qualities we value include:

• DDS or DMD degree and an active New Jersey dental license, or eligibility to obtain one before starting.
• A solid foundation in diagnosis, restorative dentistry, and comprehensive treatment planning.
• A serious interest in building long-term patient relationships and growing with the practice.
• Initiative in improving clinical workflows, supporting colleagues, and contributing to practice development.
• Clear, compassionate communication and accountability for clinical quality, documentation, and patient follow-up.
• Willingness to develop new skills and incorporate digital workflows into patient care.

Experience in advanced procedures is a plus. A strong general dentist with sound judgment, leadership potential, and the drive to help build something lasting is equally encouraged to apply.

Our Second Location — Brielle Hills Dental

Our practice family also includes Brielle Hills Dental , a modern, four-operatory office in Brielle, NJ. This smaller, relationship-focused setting combines updated equipment and digital workflows with our shared commitment to patient-centered, affordable, quality care. Together, our two locations support clinical collaboration and coordinated referrals, providing a strong foundation for our planned expansion to a third office.
