Associate Dentist – Private Practice, Mentorship, Full-Time Growth Path, Future Buy-In Potential

Jesse Myers DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
Staunton, Virginia

Jesse Myers DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is seeking an Associate Dentist for a high-quality, out-of-network private practice in Staunton, Virginia.

This is a long-term opportunity designed to begin part-time and grow into a full-time associate role, with a possible future minority buy-in opportunity for the right candidate. The position may begin around 2 days per week as the associate schedule is built, with additional days added as patient demand, schedule readiness, and clinical fit support growth.

Our practice has an established patient base, a strong community reputation, and current new-patient demand. We emphasize high-quality, relationship-based care rather than insurance-driven volume. Our team values careful diagnosis, strong patient communication, conservative treatment planning, and long-term patient trust.

The practice is equipped with modern technology, including digital scanning, CAD/CAM/CEREC, CBCT imaging, Fotona LightWalker laser technology, ozone therapy, and airway/sleep-focused treatment options.

We also take a functional and whole-body informed approach to dentistry, recognizing the connection between oral health, periodontal health, airway, sleep, nutrition, inflammation, and overall wellness. The associate does not need to already be trained in every area of functional dentistry, laser dentistry, airway, or sleep, but should be open-minded, teachable, and interested in learning.

The ideal candidate is clinically humble, teachable, relationship-focused, and comfortable with general restorative dentistry. This could be a great fit for a newer dentist seeking mentorship and long-term development, or for an experienced dentist looking for a relationship-based private practice environment with future growth potential.

Initial responsibilities may include general restorative dentistry, fillings, emergency exams, limited exams, straightforward crowns, and other bread-and-butter general dentistry. The owner is open to mentorship in comprehensive treatment planning, conservative restorative dentistry, digital workflows, CEREC, inlays, onlays, crowns, laser dentistry, and whole-body informed patient care.

Compensation is the greater of:

$800 per clinical day
or
30% of adjusted collections

This structure provides a stable daily minimum while the associate’s schedule is being built, with upside as patient flow and collections grow.

For the right associate, there may be a future opportunity to discuss practice buy-in. After at least 12 months of successful full-time associateship, the associate may be eligible to discuss a potential structured minority ownership opportunity. Any buy-in would be subject to mutual agreement, updated valuation, financing, legal documents, and continued alignment with the practice’s clinical and cultural vision.

This position is best suited for a dentist looking for a long-term private practice home, not simply a short-term job.

Interested candidates should submit a resume/CV and a brief note describing their clinical interests, long-term goals, and what they are looking for in a private practice opportunity.

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental, 401k, PTO

Compensation:

• $85,000-$125,000/year
