Associate Dentist

Associate General Dentist | Mentorship, Partnership & Practice Ownership OpportunityBuild Your Career. Learn from Experience. Become an Owner.

After 21 rewarding years of serving our community, I am looking for more than an associate—I am looking for my partner/successor.

I have had the privilege of building a highly respected private general dental practice founded on exceptional patient care, clinical excellence, integrity, and relationships. Through decades of personalized care, the practice has earned outstanding goodwill, a loyal multigenerational patient base, and a reputation that continues to grow through patient referrals.

As I look toward the future, my goal is to mentor the right dentist into practice ownership. This is a rare opportunity for someone who desires not only to become an outstanding clinician, but also to learn how to successfully own and lead a thriving private practice.

About the Practice
Established private general dental practice with 21 years of successful solo ownership
PPO and Fee-for-Service only practice
Outstanding goodwill and an exceptional reputation within the community
Loyal, multigenerational patient base with strong retention and referrals
Experienced, dedicated team committed to excellence
Modern philosophy centered on comprehensive, relationship-based dentistry
Practice culture that values integrity, kindness, quality, and teamwork
A True Mentorship Opportunity
I believe the future of private practice depends on investing in the next generation of dentists.

The right candidate will receive one-on-one mentorship—not only in clinical dentistry, but in every aspect of owning and operating a successful private practice.

Topics of mentorship include:
Advanced diagnosis and treatment planning
Comprehensive patient care
Communication and relationship building
Leadership and team development
Practice management
Financial management
Business operations
Building a practice culture that patients and team members love
My goal is to openly share the knowledge, experience, and lessons I've gained over the past two decades so that your transition into ownership is both successful and rewarding.

An Accelerated Path to Ownership
This position is intentionally designed with ownership as the destination—not merely a possibility.

For the right candidate, discussions regarding partnership or practice purchase will begin immediately, with the expectation of negotiating ownership terms within approximately six months of beginning the associateship.

The structure of the partnership or purchase will be developed collaboratively to meet the goals of both parties and to ensure a thoughtful, successful transition for our patients, team, and future owner.

Who You Are
You are someone who believes that dentistry is about people first.

You are committed to practicing ethically, delivering exceptional patient care, and continually striving for excellence.

Just as importantly, you are humble enough to recognize that there is always more to learn. You are genuinely teachable—someone who values mentorship, welcomes constructive feedback, asks thoughtful questions, and has the desire to continually improve both clinically and professionally.

You aspire to become not only an outstanding dentist, but also an exceptional practice owner and leader.

Whether you are an experienced associate or a newer graduate with a strong clinical foundation, your character, integrity, work ethic, emotional intelligence, and desire to learn will be valued as highly as your technical abilities.

Qualifications
DDS or DMD degree from an accredited dental school
Active California dental license (or eligibility for licensure)
Excellent clinical judgment and commitment to comprehensive patient care
Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills
Desire for long-term professional growth and practice ownership
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Many practices advertise "future ownership" as a possibility.

This opportunity is built around it.

I am intentionally seeking one exceptional dentist to mentor, invest in, and prepare for ownership. My desire is to create a seamless transition that preserves the legacy of this practice while allowing the next generation to build upon its success.

If you are looking for more than a job—if you are looking for a mentor, a meaningful career, and a realistic path to owning a highly respected private practice—I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and discuss whether we are the right fit for one another.
