The Opportunity

This is a rare and very unique opportunity to work on a highly skilled team doing advanced dental treatments in a beautiful space with all new equipment. This is an opportunity to challenge you to provide the best care you’ve ever been able to provide, with mentorship and support, together with already built out clinical workflows and protocols in complex surgical, airway, biological, biomimetic & cosmetic dentistry.

We believe everyone deserves a smile they love, teeth that function properly and painlessly, and the ability to breathe and sleep naturally.

In addition to many general, surgical and biological dentistry services, we are pioneering and implementing new techniques and treatments in airway and integrative dentistry (nutrition, inflammation, microbiome health, TMJ, pain, occlusion, airway, breathing, sleep) as well as full mouth reconstruction with implants and/or natural teeth (see www.3on6.com).

Mentorship is available with the owner doctor, who is heavily invested in continuing education and advanced training.

The CE offered by our owner’s willingness to support, guide and provide this level of education is unmatched. An added perk is our office is truly a gorgeous space with lots of natural materials and light, together with all new equipment, technology and materials. And if you like great music, great coffee and great people, you’ve come to the right place.

General and restorative dentistry competence is a must, along with basic surgical skills preferred. Interest, knowledge and experience in airway dentistry and biological/holistic dentistry is also a must or a willingness to learn and advance one’s knowledge. This is an opportunity with a lot of growth potential. Must have great interpersonal and patient communication skills, work well on a team, have organizational skills, timeliness, attention to detail, flexibility and most of all, a desire to learn and grow one’s knowledge, skills and experience. We are looking forward to meeting you.
