Job Overview

Join our dental team as an Associate General Dentist with a clear pathway to ownership. This role offers the opportunity to deliver exceptional patient care, develop clinical skills, and grow into a leadership position within a supportive and forward-thinking practice. You will perform comprehensive dental examinations, diagnose treatment needs, and provide high-quality restorative and preventive care. Our practice emphasizes mentorship, professional development, and a collaborative environment that empowers you to reach your career goals while making a positive impact on patients’ lives.

About Us

We are a well-established, patient-centered general dental practice, located in a tier one suburb of St Paul, Minnesota. We've built our reputation on quality clinical care, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a loyal patient base spanning many years.

Requirements

The Opportunity

This is more than an associate position — it's an opportunity to build a long-term career. We're looking for a dentist ready to become part of the community, grow a loyal patient base, and eventually step into ownership of a thriving practice. The ideal candidate will:

**Join as a part-time associate dentist (initial hours negotiable)
**Work alongside our current owner during a transition period to learn the practice, patients, and team
**Have the opportunity to purchase equity or the full practice within 12-24 months, on mutually agreed terms

We believe this structure benefits everyone — patients keep continuity of care, staff keep stability, and you get the chance to step into ownership without the risk and cost of starting from scratch.

What You'll Do

**Provide comprehensive general dentistry services, including exams, restorative care, and preventive treatment
**Build and maintain strong relationships with patients
**Communicate effectively with patients of all ages while demonstrating empathy and professionalism
**Collaborate with a skilled, experienced clinical and administrative team

**DDS or DMD from an accredited dental school in the United States
**Active dental license in Minnesota
**3+ years of clinical experience preferred (new grads with strong clinical skills are welcome to apply)
**Strong chairside manner and communication skills
**Strong interest in practice ownership
**Business-minded, or willing to develop practice management skills with mentorship
