Full job description

Job Overview

Join our growing team!

We are focused on providing comprehensive, quality care to our patients. Our hygienists use top-of-the-line instruments such as the Cavitron 300 series and HuFreidy instruments. Additionally, we utilize technology such as the iTero intraoral scanner to evaluate occlusal risk factors, risk of sleep disordered breathing, etc. We work to develop a long-term treatment plan based on our patients' goals for their oral health -- we do not simply guide our patients from one dental emergency to the next!

Schedule

This opening is for:

  • Monday 7:45am-5:00pm
  • Tuesday 7:45am-6:00pm
  • Wednesday 7:45am-5:00pm
  • Thursday 7:45am-5:00pm

One hour is provided for lunch daily. There are multiple paid holidays and paid days for professional development.

Pay and Benefits

Base pay is $50-54/hr based on experience with additional monthly bonus based on overall practice performance which can add up to an additional $5/hr. We also offer a 401k plan that involves 3% safe harbor contributions and profit sharing contributions. Additionally, healthcare and a dental benefits plan are offered.

Appointment times

1 hour 45 minutes is provided for our new patient experience. This visit is for the new patient interview which allows the dental team to craft a treatment plan specifically for each patient's long-term dental goals. While many patients will also have a prophylaxis performed at this visit, there is no pressure to do so. Performing prophylaxis at the new patient visit is up to the discretion of the hygienist based on the complexity of the each patient's treatment needs.

60 minutes is provided for the average, healthy adult patient.

Scaling and root planing can take 45min (for a localized area) to 2 hours for complex cases. Our hygienists and dentists work together to make the best decision for scheduling each patient.

Principles

While we bill our services to insurance companies as a courtesy to our patients, we are out-of-network with all insurances to prevent third parties from interfering in our patients' care. Additionally, we are staunchly anti-corporate and anti-private equity. Treatment decisions are made between our patients and their healthcare providers with no external pressures.

Our Team

We employ a multi-generational team of highly experienced healthcare providers.

You will be supported by excellent, caring treatment coordinators and assistants.

Dr. Cole Archambault and Dr. Elizabeth Boig Larkum have completed multiple continua in comprehensive dentistry. In addition to general dentistry, our dentists perform comprehensive procedures such as full-mouth rehabilitation, full-arch implant restoration, and comprehensive cosmetic dentistry. You will learn a lot working side-by-side with our talented dentists!
