General Dentist

Join our thriving Family Dental practice, located in the beautiful South Alabama region, with an amazing opportunity for personal success. 

We are looking for a motivated, hard-working associate dentist who puts a priority on excellent patient care. Our office has two dentists on staff and we are growing to a point where a third dentist, to help with delivering high quality care, is greatly needed.
 

The dentist will meet with patients, assess their dental health, perform scheduled exams after cleanings, handle complex procedures, such as root canals, extractions, and oral surgery, and work with other staff members, such as dental hygienists and assistants, to provide our clients with quality dental services. You should also be able to assist in the management of the practice and promoting better oral hygiene.

The office provides a wide variety of services including: composite restorations, crowns/bridges, partials/dentures, endodontic procedures including molar endo, extractions, implant placement and restoration 

The candidate we are searching for would be one who is capable in a wide variety of procedures but does not have to be able to or want to do every procedure the office offers. Both dentists on staff collaborate together daily and are willing to mentor and aid the new associate in anyway they want or need.
