Associate Dentist Durham, NC

ASSOCIATE DENTIST – Mission-Driven, Modern Nonprofit Clinic

🦷 Full-Time | Flexible Weekday Schedule | Comprehensive General Dentistry

A state-of-the-art nonprofit dental clinic is seeking a compassionate and skilled Associate Dentist to join their mission of expanding access to comprehensive oral health care for underserved communities. This is a unique opportunity to practice independently in a technologically advanced environment—while making a meaningful difference every day.

The clinic operates within a 5,000-square-foot, fully modernized facility equipped with 10 operatories, 2 CBCT x-ray units, digital denture printers, and an Ivoclar PM7 milling unit. It also functions as a live-patient CE training center where dentists can gain hands-on experience in implant and grafting techniques alongside top clinical educators.

Position Highlights:
- Schedule: 4 days per week, with flexibility to design your own weekday schedule (Monday–Friday staggered hours; two later days and an early Friday)
- Team Support: 3 experienced dental assistants + 1 RDH
- Patient Flow: 3-column schedule averaging ~15 patients per day
- Scope of Care: Comprehensive general dentistry including exams, dentures, crowns, fillings, and simple extractions (more complex surgical cases are referred to the Clinical Director)

Mentorship & Leadership:
This role reports to the clinic’s Board-Certified Prosthodontist Clinical Director, a seasoned educator and implant specialist who previously led an academic prosthodontics department for seven years. The Clinical Director is highly experienced in full-arch implant cases, All-on-4s, and overdentures—and is passionate about mentoring colleagues through hands-on training and continuing education.

Qualifications:
- DMD or DDS from an accredited U.S. dental school
- Minimum 3 years of clinical experience (5+ years strongly preferred)
- Confident practicing independently and managing a wide variety of patients, including those with complex dental or social needs
- Mission-driven and culturally sensitive approach to patient care
- Bilingual abilities strongly preferred

Benefits & Perks:
💰 Retirement: 4013B plan with 3% match
🩺 Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage through Blue Cross NC (30-day waiting period)
🌴 Time Off: 13 PTO days in the first year (accruing over time) + 10 paid holidays (closed Christmas week)
🎓 Continuing Education: On-site live-patient implant and grafting CE courses (6–8 annually)
🚗 Other Perks:
- Free gated/secured parking (FOB access)
- Malpractice insurance covered
- Uniform allowance ($250 first year; $100 annually thereafter)
- Modern facility with advanced technology and supportive staff

Why This Role Stands Out:
This is more than a job—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact by restoring smiles and confidence for patients who need it most. Join a passionate, collaborative team that values purpose, quality care, and professional growth.
