Experienced Associate Dentist - Comprehensive General Dentistry

Experienced Associate Dentist - Comprehensive General Dentistry

Galleria Dentistry | Naples, Florida

Full-time | Four-day clinical schedule

Galleria Dentistry is seeking an experienced associate dentist to become a long-term member of our comprehensive, privately owned, fee-for-service family practice in Naples, FL.

Our founding dentist is retiring in December, creating an opportunity for the right associate to transition into an established patient base and meanigful patient flow. We are being intentional about finding a clinically capable dentist who wants to build a lasting professional home - not simply fill a temporary position.

Our ideal associate enjoys comprehensive diagnosis, restorative dentistry, crown and bridge, emergencies and maintaining the complete patient relationship. Our owners increasingly focus on complex reconstruction, sedation and surgical care, so we need an associate who takes pride in owning the general dentistry side of the practice.

The Clinical Role

The associate will provide:

• Comprehensive examinations, diagnosis and treatment planning
• Direct restorative dentistry
• Crown and bridge
• Same-day digital dentistry
• Emergency care
• Endodontics when within the dentist's skillset
• Removable and implant-restorative dentistry as appropriate
• Clear treatment presentation and long-term patient care

Molar endodontics is preferred, but we are also interested in candidates who bring another valuable, non-implant-related clinical strength that could expand the services available to our patients.

What We're Looking For

• Active Florida dental license or ability to obtain one before starting
• At least three years of U.S. private-practice experience
• Strong restorative and crown-and-bridge skills
• Demonstrated comprehensive diagnosis and treatment-planning ability
• Excellent patient communication and case-presentation skills
• Sound clinical judgment, accountability and efficiency
• A collaborative, team-oriented approach
• Commitment to comprehensive general dentistry and a long-term associate position

Experience with CEREC or another digital-dentistry workflow is preferred. Familiarity with Exocad or an interest in expanding digital capabilities is also welcome.

This position is not designed for someone who views general dentistry primarily as a temporary path toward building an exclusively implant or surgical schedule. We want a dentist who values comprehensive care and wants to become an important part of the practice and its patient community.

Practice Enviroment

Our clinical capabilities include:

• CEREC same-day dentistry
• CBCT imaging
• Digital scanning and treatment planning
• Exocad
• 3D printing
• AI-assisted diagnostics
• In-house treatment coordination
• Sedation, implant and complex restorative care
• Experienced clinical and administrative support

We provide thoughtful onboarding, clinical callibration and access to substantial continuing-education resources. Clinical skill matters, but so do communication, efficiency, ownership and the ability to earn patient trust.

Compensation and Benefits

• Production-based compensation with earning potential up to approximately $350,000 annually
• 30% of adjusted production
• 90-day transition guarantee
• 401(k)/retirement plan
• Health-insurance conribution
• Contining-education allowance
• Onboarding and clinical-calibration support
• Access to multiple online education platforms

Compensation is production-based, and total earning potential will vary based on each dentist's clinical skill set, effciency, scope of services and ability to build and maintain a productive schedule. The stated earning potential reflects what is achievable for a highly efficient clinician whose training and service offerings align well with the needs of the practice; it is not a guaranteed income level.

Schedule and Timing

The anticipated long-term schedule is four clinical days per week, likely with Thursdays off.

We are targeting a start date within 30-60 days, ideally around November, but we can be flexible for the right candidate. Before our founding dentist retires in December, the initial schedule may be a flexible three-and-a-half days per week, allowing time for onboarding, patient introductions and a gradual increase in patient flow.

Applying

Please submit your resume along with:

• Do you currently hold an active Florida dental license, or are you able to obtain one before starting?
• How many years of U.S. private-practice experience do you have?
• What was your average monthly personal production during the last six full months?
• How many clinical days per month did you work during that period?
• Was the figure reported above gross production, adjusted production or collections?
• What was you typical monthly procedure mix?
• Are you independently comfortable performing molar endodontics?
• What experience do you have with CEREC or other digital-dentistry workflows?
• What is your earliest available start date?
• Are there any additional procedures or clinical strengths you could develop within our practice?

Pay: $350,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Flexible schedule
