Veterinarian – Dentistry Focused
Based out of Tigard Animal Hospital | Serving Neighboring
NVA Hospitals
Tigard Animal Hospital is seeking a dentistry‑focused
veterinarian who is passionate about elevating the standard of veterinary
dental care across multiple hospitals. This unique role is ideal for a doctor
who truly loves dentistry and wants to have a broader clinical impact by
supporting several neighboring NVA hospitals in a travel capacity, while
being based out of Tigard Animal Hospital.
Since 2003, Tigard Animal Hospital has been a trusted
provider of high‑quality care in our community. Our modern, well‑equipped
facility serves as the ideal home base for a veterinarian looking to focus on
advanced dentistry while collaborating with other NVA teams.
Why Tigard Animal Hospital?
- Modern,
Purpose‑Built Facility (Opened 2020):
6 exam rooms, dedicated dental and surgical suites, and a spacious
treatment area designed to support high‑quality dental workflows. - Advanced
Diagnostics & Equipment:
Digital dental radiology, in‑house lab, ultrasound, and digital
radiography. - Progressive
Culture:
Feline‑friendly certified, and practicing fear-free with strong support
staff and a culture focused on patient comfort and clinical excellence. - NVA
Network Support:
The opportunity to collaborate with neighboring NVA hospitals that value
and invest in advanced dentistry.
About the Role
This position is heavily dentistry‑focused and
designed for a veterinarian who enjoys:
- Performing
high‑quality dental procedures, including complex extractions
- Educating
and mentoring hospital teams to improve dental standards and confidence
- Traveling
to nearby NVA hospitals in the Portland Metro area to provide dentistry
services and support
- Helping
practices elevate their dental programs and client education
You will work closely with each hospital’s leadership and
support teams to deliver consistent, exceptional dental care while serving as a
trusted dentistry resource across the region.
What We’re Looking For
- DVM/VMD
from an AVMA‑accredited institution
- Active
(or eligible) Oregon veterinary license
- Strong
interest and experience in veterinary dentistry
(Advanced dentistry experience and extractions preferred) - Ability
to mentor other doctors in dentistry
- Comfort
with travel within the Portland Metro area to neighboring NVA hospitals
- Excellent
communication skills with both clients and hospital teams
- Collaborative,
professional, and clinically confident
- Commitment
to practicing high‑quality, ethical medicine
What You’ll Do
- Deliver
exceptional dentistry services for dogs and cats, including advanced
dental procedures
- Travel
to neighboring NVA hospitals to provide dentistry coverage and mentorship support
- Serve
as a dentistry resource for doctors and staff, promoting best practices
- Partner
with our Mentor Doctor with Oregon State University Dentistry program
- Build
strong client relationships through education and personalized care
- Help
drive dental growth, efficiency, and quality across multiple hospitals
- Participate
in continued learning and professional development
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to focus
primarily on dentistry while enjoying variety, collaboration, and regional
impact—without giving up a supportive home base. You’ll have the autonomy to
practice dentistry at a high-level while being backed by strong hospital teams
and the NVA network.

veterinary dentistry?
