  • Deliver high-quality dentistry, including extractions with radiographic support
  • Support and promote low-stress, Fear Free handling and patient care
Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive base salary ranging from $150,000-$180,000 (based on experience)
  • Ownership interest? $400,000 equity ownership package with no money out of pocket
  • Production-based bonuses with no negative accrual
  • Up to $50,000 sign-on bonus
  • Relocation support available
  • Student loan assistance: Up to $15,000/year for 4 years
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and paid parental leave
