Associate Dentist - US Dental Professionals Fort Worth

About Us
US Dental Professionals operates 17 dental practices embedded inside Walmart stores across Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and Tampa Bay. Our patients are working families — many of them uninsured, many of them seeing a dentist for the first time in years. We built this model so that the same trip that gets groceries in the cart can also get a child's cavity treated.

We are clinician-led. Doctors make clinical decisions here. Our support organization handles credentialing, billing, marketing, supplies, and staffing so you can practice dentistry.

Position Summary
The Associate Dentist provides comprehensive general dentistry to a high-volume, walk-in-friendly patient population. You will diagnose and treat a broad case mix, work alongside an assigned assistant and hygiene team, and partner with the Treatment Coordinator to convert diagnosed treatment into completed care.
