About the role

The associate dentist will diagnose, treatment plan, and perform comprehensive general dentistry procedures for an established patient base. They will also contribute to the practice's growth and maintain long-term patient relationships.

Associate Dentist – $280K–$350K+ | $17,500 Sign-On + Relocation | Phoenix, AZ Carefree Dentistry | North Phoenix, AZ $10,000 Sign-On Bonus | $7,500 Relocation Assistance | $280K–$350K+ Earning Potential | 4-Day Workweek | Future Ownership What If Your Next Associate Job Could Become Your Practice Someday?

That's the opportunity at Carefree Dentistry.

We're looking for an experienced dentist who wants more than somewhere to show up, treat patients, and collect a paycheck.

We want someone who can step into an established North Phoenix practice, build relationships with patients, practice with autonomy, and help us continue growing.

And for the right person, there's an opportunity for this to become much more than an associate position.

Future partnership and ownership are genuinely on the table.

First, Let's Talk About the Opportunity.

A great career move has to make sense financially, too.

Here's what's waiting for you: $280,000–$350,000+ estimated annual earning potential $10,000 sign-on bonus $7,500 relocation assistance Four-day workweek preferred Compensation based on collections Established patient base Clinical autonomy Future partnership and ownership potential Opportunity to help shape the growth of the practice If you're considering a move to Phoenix, we'll put $7,500 toward helping you get here.

If you're already local, we'd still love to talk.

Come Here and Practice Dentistry.

Carefree Dentistry offers comprehensive general dentistry, which means you'll have the opportunity to diagnose, treatment plan, and actually do the dentistry your patients need.

That includes: Restorative dentistry Crowns and bridges Dentures and partials Extractions Emergency dentistry Comprehensive treatment planning Hygiene-driven patient care We're especially interested in a dentist who is confident with comprehensive treatment planning, restorative dentistry, and removable prosthetics and enjoys building long-term relationships with patients.

We're Looking for Someone Who Wants a Little More.

Maybe you've reached the point where simply being an associate isn't enough.

You want autonomy.

You want to have a voice.

You want your work to contribute to something you're helping build.

And eventually, you may want a piece of it.

That's exactly why we're open to future partnership and ownership with the right doctor.

We're looking for someone who approaches the practice with an ownership mindset - not because we expect you to own it on day one, but because you care about patients, the team, the health of the practice, and where it's headed.

Four Days of Dentistry.

Three Days for Everything Else.

Our preferred schedule is a four-day clinical workweek, typically during office hours of 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

There's also some flexibility depending on the right candidate and what works for the practice.

Build a substantial dental career without automatically giving up five days of every week to do it.

Who Would Be Great Here?

We're looking for a DDS or DMD who is confident clinically, excellent with patients, and excited by the opportunity to grow.

Ideally, you: Have 3+ years of clinical experience Are comfortable practicing independently Have strong comprehensive treatment-planning skills Are confident with restorative dentistry and removable prosthetics Communicate naturally and build patient trust Value clinical autonomy Enjoy being part of a team Think beyond today's schedule and care about the long-term success of a practice Are intrigued by the possibility of future partnership or ownership An active Arizona dental license or eligibility to obtain one is required.

Why Carefree Dentistry?

Because this isn't being positioned as a place where you'll simply fill an associate opening.

We're looking for someone we can invest in.

You'll have an established practice to build from, significant earning potential, a four-day schedule, $17,500 in sign-on and relocation support, and the opportunity to help shape what comes next.

And if the fit is right on both sides, what starts as an associate position could eventually become something you have a stake in.

If you're an experienced dentist looking for more autonomy, more earning potential, and more opportunity to build something long term, we'd really like to meet you.

Apply today and let's start a conversation.

Requirements

Candidates must hold a DDS or DMD degree and possess an active Arizona dental license or be eligible to obtain one. A minimum of 3 years of clinical experience is preferred, along with proficiency in restorative dentistry and treatment planning.
