Associate General Dentist Marietta & North Druid Hills, GA

Associate General Dentist

We're hiring our next clinical leader for a two-location group operating in two of metro Atlanta's most affluent communities — East Cobb and North Druid Hills. The right candidate will build a 36-month clinical career here with a real ownership pathway.

Two locations. Two affluent patient bases. One operating system.

Marietta Dentist (East Cobb): A high-velocity general practice on a major arterial in one of metro Atlanta's strongest family-income zip codes. Recall-heavy, family-driven, with strong cosmetic and elective case flow.

Atlanta Emergency Dentist (North Druid Hills · Emory area): Emergency-positioned practice in one of Atlanta's most affluent intown communities. High walk-in volume of pain patients with immediate treatment needs — the highest case-acceptance patient type in dentistry. Heavy surgical, endo, and implant case mix.

Across both locations:

• Consistent monthly new patient flow driven by paid digital + extended-hours scheduling.
• Same-day dentistry model — we don't waste exam-to-treatment friction.
• Full clinical stack: digital X-ray, CBCT, in-house implants, IV and oral sedation, surgical guides.
• Spa-aesthetic facilities designed for high case acceptance.
• Drama-free teams trained on a shared operational playbook.
• Diagnostic %, case acceptance, and production tracked and reviewed weekly.

Both zip codes sit well above metro Atlanta median household income. The national average accepted treatment plan is around $1,600. In our patient base — combined with a full clinical stack, emergency-driven walk-in volume at our intown location, and proper case presentation — average accepted plans run materially higher. A competent, coachable dentist with a year of ramp under our systems should be producing $150,000–$200,000+ per month. Our top performers run higher.

We've designed pay around three principles: align with how associate ramps actually work, eliminate collections-based games, and reward growth disproportionately.

Months 1–3 — The Ramp Period: $700/day base guarantee against tiered compensation — whichever is higher is what you take home. You'll do your own hygiene during this ramp window. This is intentional: it exposes you to more exams, accelerates your case acceptance reps, and gets your column full faster. As your schedule fills, hygienist support comes online.

Month 4 Onward — Tiered Production Compensation: All compensation is on adjusted production — no collections risk on you. We pay marginal tiers, like income tax brackets. Each dollar of production earns the rate of the tier it falls into:

• Monthly Adjusted Production: $0 – $49,999. Tier Rate- 24%
• Monthly Adjusted Production: $50,000 – $99,999. Tier Rate-26%
• Monthly Adjusted Production: $100,000 – $149,999. Tier Rate-28%
• Monthly Adjusted Production: $150,000 – $199,999. Tier Rate-30%
• Monthly Adjusted Production: $200,000 – $249,999. Tier Rate- 32%
• Monthly Adjusted Production: $250,000+ Tier Rate-34%

What This Looks Like At Real Production Levels:

• Monthly Production-Total Monthly Comp-Annualized: $100,000-$25,000-$300,000
• Monthly Production-Total Monthly Comp-Annualized: $150,000-$39,000-$468,000
• Monthly Production-Total Monthly Comp-Annualized: $200,000-$54,000-$648,000
• Monthly Production-Total Monthly Comp-Annualized: $250,000-$70,000-$840,000
• Monthly Production-Total Monthly Comp-Annualized: $300,000-$87,000-$1,044,000

This structure is built for dentists who want to grow. The harder you push, the more disproportionate the reward becomes — the structure is designed to make a $300K/mo associate take home owner-level income.

Profits Interest Pathway (Month 12+) Performers vest into our location-level profits interest pool — 4% per year, up to 20% over five years. Real cash distributions from actual profit, paid quarterly. For the right candidate, pathway to seller-financed equity with no outside debt required.

Career Arc — What Year 3 Looks Like:

• Year 1: Master case acceptance in our patient demographic, fill your column, work toward $150K+/mo production
• Year 2: Develop a clinical specialty (implants, surgical, IV sedation, clear aligners, advanced endo) — we fund the CE
• Year 3: Senior dentist role, vested profits interest, mentor incoming associates, qualify for equity discussion

As we expand to a third location, the most likely senior dentist for that opening is someone already in our group.

What We Invest In You:

• CE budget for procedures that grow your scope and earnings — implants, surgical, advanced endo, IV sedation, full-arch
• Live-patient training opportunities for advanced procedures
• Weekly clinical performance review — diagnostic %, case acceptance, and production benchmarked transparently against peers
• 30-day onboarding team with proactive daily check-ins to surface friction early
• Cross-location exposure to two patient populations (family/recall and emergency/surgical) — accelerates clinical breadth in a way single-location associate roles can't

The Hiring Process:

We use a personality profiling system (BenchmarkHire) as part of our final round — a 20-minute structured exercise. We do this because data shows it predicts long-term success more reliably than interviews, and because we want every hire to feel like a deliberate match — not a gamble. Most candidates find it the most thoughtful hiring process they've experienced.

Requirements:

• DDS/DMD with active Georgia license (or able to obtain within 60 days).
• Comfort with restorative, removable, basic surgery, and emergency triage.
• Bonus clinical skills welcome: implants, IV sedation, surgical extractions, clear aligners, advanced endo.
• Most importantly: growth mindset, coachability, composure under emergency walk-in pressure, and the intent to build a 3+ year career here.

How To Apply:

Send your CV plus a short note (one paragraph is plenty) on what you want your 3-year clinical arc to look like. We don't read cover letters about how great you are. We read for clarity on what you actually want to build.
