Associate Dentist- Santa Rosa, CA

Hiring Pros

Associate Dentist Fee-For-Service | Ownership Opportunity

Location: Santa Rosa, California

Status: Full-Time | 4 days per week

Compensation: Competitive, above-market earning potential

Daily Guarantee

Why Youll Love Working Here

Buzza Dental Group is a long-established, fee-for-service private practice that has served the Santa Rosa community for over 40 years. This is not a high-volume or insurance-driven office. Patients come here because they value thoughtful diagnostics, clear communication, and high-quality dentistry.

Dr. John Buzza has built the practice around trust, compassion, and doing dentistry the right way. The culture is professional and grounded in accountability. Expectations are clear, and feedback is honest and supportive, helping you thrive. Yes, there are goals, and they are very fair in terms of time, space, and the opportunity to grow into them. We want you to succeed!

Youll work with a seasoned, highly capable team that understands efficiency and flow. Hygiene plays a central role in the practice, and this position is built around exams, same-day dentistry, and same-day care. There is no internal competition for cases. You are set up to build trust and grow your schedule naturally.

This is a high-production opportunity in every sense. The right associate can realistically build to $1M+ in annual production, with income that reflects that level of contribution. While the position begins as a true associateship, there is a very real pathway to ownership for the right doctor. Dr. Buzza is open to selling the practice outright to the right person when alignment is clear. He would stay on under contract to ensure a smooth transition, promote goodwill with patients, and support the new owners success.

This may not be the right opportunity if you are fresh out of dental school or still building foundational clinical skills. The pace and expectations here require someone who can confidently walk into a hygiene exam, diagnose what theyre seeing, and communicate a treatment plan to a fee-for-service patient without hesitation. This is a place where a capable, confident dentist can step in and thrive from day one.

Santa Rosa offers an exceptional lifestyle with access to wine country, outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of community. Its close enough to San Francisco to enjoy everything the city offers, but with a slower pace, beautiful surroundings, and a family-friendly feel. Many doctors choose to build long-term roots here, and its easy to see why.

What We Value
  • Patient Trust & Communication: Dentistry here starts with listening. Patients are educated thoroughly and guided toward confident decisions without pressure or fear-based tactics.

  • Clinical Excellence: Quality matters. We value dentists who take pride in their work and hold themselves to a high standard every day.

  • Team Ownership: This is a full-day commitment, not an operatory-only role. We support hygiene, help where needed, and stay engaged until patient care is complete.

  • Growth Mindset: The right doctor asks questions, seeks feedback, and continuously works to improve. Coachability is essential.

What Youll Do
  • Perform hygiene exams, new patient exams, and same-day dentistry

  • Deliver high-quality restorative dentistry efficiently and confidently

  • Communicate diagnoses and treatment plans clearly in a fee-for-service setting

  • Work collaboratively with assistants, hygienists, and leadership

  • Take ownership of the full clinical day, including patient follow-through

Compensation & Benefits
  • Minimum daily guarantee: $800 per day

  • Production-based compensation structure (30%)

  • 100% fee-for-service practice

  • Continuing education supported for doctors who demonstrate initiative, capability, and commitment to growth

  • Clear ownership opportunity for the right long-term fit

Why This Job Stands Out
  • True Fee-For-Service Dentistry

Youll practice in a 100% fee-for-service environment built on trust, not insurance limitations. Patients move forward because they understand and believe in the recommended care. Dentists who enjoy earning cases through communication and relationships thrive here.

  • Exceptional Financial Opportunity

This is not your typical associateship. The production capacity here is significant, and the right doctor can realistically build to $1M+ in annual production. With a fee-for-service model and 30% production-based compensation, your income reflects the quality of care you deliver.

Who Were Looking For

Someone who is

  • A strong communicator who builds trust quickly with patients and team members

  • Clinically confident with a proven track record in general and restorative dentistry

  • Experienced enough to walk into a hygiene exam, diagnose accurately, and present treatment with ease

  • Motivated by production, growth, and real income upside

  • Comfortable in a fee-for-service environment where dentistry is earned through trust and communication

  • Interested in stability, leadership, and potential ownership of a well-established practice
