General Dentist - Full Time | Madison, WI

Ascendent Health Partners | Private Group Practice Full Time

30–35 hours per week | 4- or 5-day schedule |

No weekends

Compensation: $120,000–$150,000 base salary + percentage of net production | Typical doctor compensation approximately $240,000 | High-performing doctors can earn $400,000+ Practice Dentistry Like the Patient Is Someone You Love Ascendent Health Partners is looking for a Full-Time General Dentist in the Madison, Wisconsin area to join an established private dental practice entering the next chapter of its growth. Because this practice is currently in a confidential transition, we can't share its identity publicly yet. What we can share is the kind of opportunity we're building. We believe healthcare is about human connection, not transactions. Patients deserve more than procedures. They deserve a doctor who sees the person attached to the teeth, listens to what matters to them, earns their trust, and helps them achieve better health. We're looking for a dentist who is or wants to become that doctor. This is an opportunity for a dentist who wants meaningful mentorship today and the potential to become an equity partner tomorrow—without taking out a second mortgage to buy into a practice. The Opportunity You'll join an established practice with an experienced team, strong patient relationships, dedicated clinical support, and the resources of Ascendent Health Partners behind you. Our doctors maintain significant clinical autonomy. We believe the provider-patient relationship is sacred, and healthcare decisions belong between the doctor and the patient. You'll have meaningful influence over the supplies, vendors, clinical systems, and workflows that affect the care you provide. Our goal isn't to tell doctors how to practice. Our goal is to surround excellent doctors with excellent people, education, systems, and resources—and then empower them to provide exceptional care. What Dentistry Looks Like Here Our doctors provide comprehensive general dentistry and are encouraged to continually expand their clinical capabilities. We want approximately 80% of patient needs to be cared for within the practice when doing so is clinically appropriate and in the patient's best interest. We're looking for doctors comfortable providing strong bread-and-butter dentistry while developing or already possessing advanced proficiency in at least one additional area, such as: Molar endodontics Surgical extractions Implant dentistry Clear aligner therapy Comprehensive care for children and families Specialists remain available when referral is the right decision for the patient. We do not expect our general dentists to provide airway treatment or Botox services. Your Day Our doctors typically complete approximately 14–16 hygiene exams per day while providing comprehensive restorative and advanced treatment. You'll work alongside trained team members and receive dedicated assisting support. We value doctors who can effectively diagnose, communicate, lead, and delegate rather than attempting to do everything themselves. There are no weekend schedules. Full-time doctors generally work 30–35 clinical hours per week over four or five days. Doctors also participate in an on-call rotation to ensure established patients have access to care when urgent needs arise.

Requirements

The role is open to both new graduates and experienced dentists who are committed to patient-centered care and long-term professional development. Candidates should be comfortable with bread-and-butter dentistry and possess or be willing to develop proficiency in advanced clinical areas.
