Full Time Associate Dentist

Opportunity: Full-Time Associate Dentist (Partnership Path) Location: St. Joseph, Michigan

Schedule: 4 Days Per Week (Mon, Wed, Thu + one other)

Compensation: $120,000 Draw + 30% of Production | $20,000 Signing Bonus

The Practice Culture We are an established 4-doctor private practice in St. Joseph, MI, built on a foundation of Quality of Life over Production. We are currently looking to add 1-2 more doctors to our team due to high patient demand.

Our environment is intentionally laid-back. We overstaff to ensure the office runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on your patients rather than administrative stress. Our leadership includes two doctors, one a 10-year military veteran, both of whom value a balanced, pleasant workplace.

The Opportunity & Compensation We aim to offer the most competitive package in the region to attract the right long-term fit:

• Guaranteed Draw: $120,000 draw against 30% of production (minus 30% lab fees).
• Signing/Relo Bonus: $20,000 upfront.
• Defined Partnership: We have a clear path to ownership. Once you exceed $765k in production, you earn partnership status.
• Schedule: 4-day work week. Saturdays are for hygiene only (unless you choose to work).
• On-Call: Very low impact–one Saturday per month for emergency calls.
• Benefits: 401k with 3% match, medical insurance available, and $2,000/year for CE (negotiable).

Clinical Freedom

• Patient Flow: 10,000 active patients. You will see 16-24 hygiene patients/day and 8-12 operative patients.
• No Micro-management: We will never ask you to perform a procedure you don’t want to do.
• Specialty Work: We fully support and encourage you to perform specialty procedures.
• Patient Base: 50/50 PPO and Fee-for-Service. Our demographic is family-oriented (25% under age 18), primarily serving moms and their children.
• Pacing: 50-minute chair times to ensure you never have to rush your work.

The Location: St. Joseph, Michigan Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, St. Joseph is a premier town for families. If you are a “family person” looking for great schools and a tight-knit community, you will love it here.

Who We Are Looking For

• Experience: We welcome new graduates, but we have a strong affinity for military veterans
• Personality: We need a family-oriented, pleasant, and relaxed doctor. We aren’t driven by quotas; we are driven by the quality of the environment.
