The Opportunity

Our client is a fast-paced, on-demand emergency dental practice in Salt Lake City, Utah. We're looking for a clinically exceptional Associate Dentist who wants to spend their days doing exactly what they trained for: connecting with patients, solving complex problems, and delivering care that makes a real difference.

This is pure dentistry. No hygiene checks. No administrative busywork. If you're a high-producing clinician who's tired of box-checking and wants to focus on the craft, this role was built for you.

• Top earning potential. Earn 33% of adjusted production — highly competitive for the market, with realistic $300K+ annual compensation for a productive provider.
• Pure clinical focus. No hygiene checks. No administrative overhead. You're here to diagnose, connect with patients, and deliver care.
• Your time is truly yours. We're an on-demand emergency practice. When the schedule is light, we're not going to ask you to sit in an operatory staring at the wall. Take a walk, read a book, use the golf simulator.
• Marketing-forward practice. The practice prioritizes data-driven marketing to keep production consistently high — so you're seeing high-intent patients, not waiting for the phone to ring.
• Partnership potential. This isn't just a job. We actively invest in providers who are the right long-term fit.
• Mentorship available. Experienced clinical leadership available to support your growth and case complexity.
