Are you tired of the "Prophy Mill"? If you are being forced into rushed appointments where you can’t actually perform high-standard periodontal therapy or educate your patients, we’d love to meet you. At Ideal Modern Dentistry, we don't compromise clinical excellence for scale. We are looking for a clinician who wants to "Master Their Craft" and treat patients in a true "Sanctuary."

Our Identity

We are an "anti-corporate," tech-forward practice. We believe clinical growth is a natural byproduct of uncompromising ethics.

• Mission: We provide high-standard clinical care by doing the right thing and listening to our patients, committed to delivering a level of excellence that lasts.
• Vision: To grow Ideal Modern Dentistry through efficiency and design, without ever compromising clinical excellence for scale or profit.
• Core Values: Always Do Right | Master Your Craft | Listen, Then Lead | Set The Bar | Build A Sanctuary | Obsess Over Service.

The Role

You are a primary provider in our practice. You will have the time and the technology to provide comprehensive, high-integrity care.

• Clinical Autonomy: Perform thorough periodontal assessments and therapy. You must be certified and comfortable administering your own Local Anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience for your guests.
• Comfort & Sedation: While the doctor is available for induction, you will be responsible for monitoring Nitrous Oxide to maintain a safe and relaxed environment.
• Sleep Medicine Integration: Collaborate on screenings for Sleep Disordered Breathing (Sleep Apnea), utilizing our Diplomate-level expertise in Dental Sleep Medicine.
• Tech-Driven Diagnostics: Use Open Dental, intraoral cameras, and CBCT imaging to "Listen, Then Lead" guests through their oral health journey.

What We Are Looking For

• Licensure: Active Florida Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) license and BLS/CPR certification (American Heart Association).
• Required Certification: Florida Local Anesthesia Certification is required.
• Desired Certification: Nitrous Oxide analgesia/monitoring certification.
• Software Skills: Proficiency with Open Dental is a major advantage. You should be tech-fluent and comfortable with a paperless, efficient workflow.
• Clinical Philosophy: You believe in "Doing the Right Thing." You prioritize patient education and long-term health over volume.

Why Join Our Founding Team?

• Quality Over Volume: We schedule for excellence, ensuring you have the time you need to provide high-standard care.
• Modern Facility: Work in a brand-new, "gut-to-slab" renovated office with the latest diagnostic technology.
• Unique Scope: Be part of a practice that integrates advanced Sleep Medicine and IV Sedation into daily care.
