Job Description

Lead General Dentist | Ownership OpportunityAlbuquerque, NM | Family Choice Dental
Family Choice Dental
120 98th St NW, Ste C-3
Albuquerque, NM 87121
Up to 35% of Collections + W2 or 1099 Options + Full Benefits + Flexible Scheduling + Equity Opportunity
What if you could have the income and autonomy of practice ownership without the financial risk and administrative burden of starting from scratch?

We’re looking for an experienced Lead General Dentist to join our growing dental group in Albuquerque, NM.

This is more than an associate position. It’s an opportunity for the right doctor to step into an established, high-volume practice, earn at a high level, have true clinical autonomy, and potentially earn equity in a multi-location dental organization.

Why This Opportunity Is Different
We own and operate three high-volume dental clinics in the Albuquerque area, generating approximately $7 million in annual top-line revenue.

Over the past five years, our partners have acquired and developed these practices with a focus on building strong systems, exceptional teams, consistent patient flow, marketing, collections, and operational support.

The infrastructure is already here.

You get to focus on dentistry.

With experienced office managers, trained support staff, established patient flow, and an anchored orthodontist already in place, you won’t be starting from zero.

And for the right long-term partner, equity is genuinely on the table.

Compensation & Benefits
Earn up to 35% of collections
Flat compensation structure — no complicated tiers or sliding scales
W2 or 1099 employment options
Full benefits available
Established patient base and high-volume schedule
Strong operational and administrative support
Clinical autonomy
No practice startup costs
No marketing responsibilities
No need to build a front-office team
No insurance chasing or administrative headaches
Potential equity/ownership opportunity
Long-term path into company leadership, expansion, and partnership
Build the Schedule That Works for Your Life
We believe great dentists do their best work when their schedule fits their life.

You can design a schedule around your goals and bandwidth.

Prefer a traditional schedule? We can accommodate that.

Want to maximize production? Build a fuller schedule.

Want more days off? Consider a compressed schedule.

One option we're especially excited about:
Three 12-hour clinical shifts per week
That could give you the opportunity to maintain a strong production schedule while having four days off every week.

Other scheduling arrangements may include:
3-day compressed schedule
4-day schedule
5-day schedule
Part-time or reduced schedule
Custom schedule based on your availability and production goals
Tell us what schedule works best for you.

Your Role
You’ll initially serve as the Lead General Dentist at one of our established Albuquerque locations, anchoring the clinical side of the practice and taking ownership of your schedule, patient relationships, and clinical outcomes.

As you establish yourself, there is an opportunity to expand your impact beyond one location and become involved in:
Practice strategy
Team development
Expansion
Clinical leadership
Operational decisions
Future acquisitions
Partnership and equity opportunities
This is designed for a dentist who wants to put down roots and build something long-term.

You’ll Have the Support You Need
You won't be expected to do everything yourself.

Our infrastructure includes:
✓ Experienced office management
✓ Established clinical staff
✓ Existing patient demand
✓ Marketing support
✓ Billing and collections infrastructure
✓ Orthodontic support
✓ Operational leadership
✓ Systems already in place
Your job is to practice great dentistry and lead clinically, not spend your evenings worrying about payroll, marketing, staffing, or insurance claims.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re open to a wide range of dentists, including doctors who are:
Experienced general dentists ready for their next chapter
High-producing clinicians who want greater earning potential
Dentists tired of the DSO model
Practice owners who want ownership without carrying all the administrative burden
Doctors interested in eventual partnership
Dentists who value clinical autonomy
Parents looking for a more flexible or compressed schedule
Dentists interested in working 3–4 days per week
Doctors who want a long-term home in Albuquerque
Entrepreneurial dentists who want to eventually help shape a growing organization
The most important thing is that you're an excellent clinician, a strong communicator, and someone who wants to build something not simply clock in and clock out.

The Ownership Opportunity
Most dentists eventually face a choice:
Join a large DSO and become an employee, or buy a practice and take on the financial and administrative burden yourself.

We believe there is another option.

Join an established organization with the infrastructure, patient volume, team, and capital already in place, while having the opportunity to earn a meaningful stake in what you help build.

Our founding partner recently passed away, creating an opportunity for the right dentist to step into a role that has historically been reserved for someone within the partner group.

Equity can be earned.

The exact structure can be shaped around the right candidate, because we believe a true partnership should be mutually beneficial.
