Associate Dentist PRN

At Tend, we’re doing dental differently — replacing the obstacles of traditional dental care with hospitality, comprehensive diagnostics, and moments of Surprise and Delight. For many of our members, we’re the first practice where they’ve felt genuinely at ease about their oral health. That trust is an extraordinary opportunity, and a real responsibility. Our PRN Associate Dentists are an essential part of how we deliver on that promise. When you pick up shifts at Tend, you step into a modern, fully equipped studio with a warm, experienced team already in place. The schedule is booked, the support is ready, and the clinical infrastructure is built for you to do your best work. You’ll treat a full scope of operative, restorative, and cosmetic procedures — diagnosing the whole person and helping members leave informed, respected, and in control of their care. This is a PRN (per diem) role. You’ll pick up shifts as needed and are paid a day rate of $900–$1,000. No minimum hours, no lead responsibilities — just exceptional clinical care when and where we need you.

At tend, these values aren’t just words on a wall — they’re how we hire, lead, and collaborate. Every team member is expected to show up with a mindset grounded in our mission, vision, and values. Tend Values Tend to Others: You put members and teammates first — delivering outstanding care and a genuinely human experience, even in a fast‑paced per diem environment. You show up ready, engaged, and present for the people in your chair. Be Brave Enough to Lead: You act with integrity and take clinical ownership. As a PRN provider, you step into new studios with confidence, make sound decisions independently, and hold yourself to the same standard you’d expect from anyone on your team. Savor the Ride: You bring positive energy into every shift — celebrating the work, staying resilient through the unexpected, and making the team better just by being there. Embrace Our Differences: You welcome diverse perspectives, communicate with respect, and meet every member where they are — adapting your approach to make each person feel seen and heard. Rooted in Growth: You’re always learning — whether that’s refining your technique, deepening your knowledge of aligner therapy, or absorbing a new workflow in a studio you’ve never worked in before. Role‑Based Competencies Earn and Give Trust: You earn the confidence of members and teammates through honesty, transparency, and consistent follow‑through — especially in a setting where you may be meeting people for the first time. Lead with Clinical Judgment: You make sound clinical decisions grounded in data, evidence, and patient needs. In a per diem context, that means being decisive and self‑directed without sacrificing thoroughness or quality. Adapt and Execute: You can read a room, integrate quickly into a new studio environment, and deliver excellent care regardless of whether it’s your first or fiftieth shift with a given team.
