Associate Dentist

STOP SCROLLING! Your Dental Career Just Got Healthier!

Are you a Dentist who believes oral health is the gateway to total body wellness? At Integrative Dental Health, we do things differently. We are a biological and holistic dental practice dedicated to treating the whole body, not just teeth.

We are looking for a passionate, health-conscious Associate Dentist (DDS/DMD) to join our mission-driven team. If you are tired of the "corporate assembly line," insurance-driven diagnosis, and unachievable daily production quotas, we want to meet you! Come practice in an environment that values quality over quantity, clinical autonomy, biocompatibility, and patient education. Integrative Dental Health in South Elgin, IL, is not your average dental office. Led by Dr. Anthony Bennardo, we are a premier holistic practice in the Fox Valley community with more than 30 years of experience.

We believe the mouth is the window to the body’s wellness. We don’t just drill and fill; we change lives through "Total Body Health." We are a close-knit team that believes in an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay, and we’re looking for a doctor to join our growing family!

Who You Are (The Ideal IDH Team Member):

• Empathetic & Compassionate: You have a chairside manner that instantly puts anxious patients at ease, builds long-term trust, and honors the patient's voice in their health journey.
• A Diagnostic Detective: You don't just look for cavities—you evaluate systemic red flags, structural airway issues, the oral microbiome, and educate patients on the "why" behind their health.
• A Precision Pro: You have a meticulous eye for detail, delivering high-quality clinical outcomes from restorative work to comprehensive digital records.
• A Reliable Rock: You value punctuality and show up ready to inspire the team at our morning huddles. Your clinical team can count on you!
• Integrative-Minded: You are deeply passionate about (or highly eager to learn) biological protocols, bio-compatible materials, safe amalgam removals, and advanced wellness therapies.

The Role (What You’ll Do):

• Comprehensive Holistic Dentistry: Provide exceptional general, restorative, and cosmetic dental care using 100% mercury-free, metal-free, and biocompatible materials.
• Safe Clinical Protocols: Learn and utilize specialized holistic safety standards, including the S.M.A.R.T. (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol.
• Patient Advocacy & Education: Lead the clinical conversation on the oral-systemic connection, explaining complex systemic health concepts in simple, empowering terms.
• Tech Mastery: Maximize our cutting-edge technology suite, including CEREC same-day CAD/CAM restorations, digital 3D CBCT imaging, and electronic charting via Dentrix.
• Advanced Wellness Integration: Collaborate with our hygiene team utilizing advanced holistic modalities (like Ozone therapy) to provide a level of healing patients can't find elsewhere.

Why You’ll Love Us (The Perks):

• The Dream Schedule: Monday – Thursday, 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM. Enjoy a permanent 3-day weekend to refresh and recharge!
• Competitive & Fair Pay: Generous compensation structure with a strong guaranteed base salary $800 - $1000 per day vs. a percentage of collections 30%-35% depending on experience and biological expertise.
• Wellness Benefits: Accrued Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Holidays, and yearly in-office credits for your own dental treatment.
• Growth & Mentorship: Direct, hands-on mentorship from Dr. Bennardo. We fully support and invest in your continuing education journey into biological dental certifications (IAOMT/IABDM)!

Qualifications:

• Valid Illinois Dental License (DDS/DMD) in good standing.
• Proficient in general dentistry (restorative, crown & bridge, simple extractions, and basic endodontics).
• Knowledge of Dentrix (or similar dental software) and digital 3D imaging/scanning.
• A "can-do" attitude and the ability to lead a clinical team in a patient-centered environment.
• A genuine interest in holistic/biological health (IAOMT membership or S.M.A.R.T. certification is a huge plus, but we will train the right heart!).
