Full Job Description
Associate Dentist - Independent Practice with Sign-On Bonus & CE Allowance

Location: Mount Pleasant, Texas

Status: Full-Time / 4 days per week

Compensation & Benefits: $15,000/Month Guarantee + 30% of Adjusted Production

Sign-On Bonus

What You'll Do
  • Deliver comprehensive general dentistry, including restorative treatment, extractions, and removable prosthodontics.
  • Confidently diagnose and present same-day treatment plans to patients.
  • Communicate clearly with patients and the team to ensure continuity of care.
  • Practice with a high degree of clinical autonomy, supported by a trained team.
  • Participate in ongoing mentorship to continue growing surgical, endodontic, and implant skills.
  • Build lasting relationships with a loyal, established patient base.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Compensation: Paid on adjusted production (30%) or the monthly guarantee, whichever is greater.
  • Monthly Guarantee: $15,000/month.
  • Sign-On Bonus.
  • CE Allowance
  • Health Insurance Stipend
  • 401(k): Up to 4% match.
  • PTO: Two weeks annually.
  • Lab fees covered (excluding Invisalign lab fees and implant parts).

Why This Job Stands Out
  • This opportunity offers highly competitive, above-market pay with a $15,000/month guarantee against 30% of adjusted production. As you build tenure, a tiered profit-sharing plan increases your percentage the more you produce. It's a compensation structure built to reward associates who want to grow.
  • You'll have real clinical autonomy to practice comprehensive dentistry the way you were trained to. There's no corporate mandate dictating which systems or materials to use - only a shared commitment to quality. You'll be trusted to make sound clinical decisions and supported in doing so.
  • Mentorship here is hands-on and genuinely invested. Dr. Mortensen offers biweekly check-ins, in-person support when you need it, and a structured onboarding curriculum to set you up for success. Combined with a CE allowance, you'll have real support to grow into procedures you haven't mastered yet.
  • The culture is built on positive energy, ownership, and clear communication, and it's reinforced through consistent systems rather than left to chance. The team runs on daily and weekly checklists that keep everyone accountable. You'll walk into an office that already knows how to support a doctor well.
  • Mount Pleasant offers small-town connection with regional-hub amenities, from a historic Main Street to nearby lakes and easy highway access. You'll build real relationships with the patients you treat. It's the kind of community where your work is noticed and appreciated.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who is:
  • Positive and steady - brings a consistent, can-do energy to the team and patients every day, regardless of what's happening outside the office.
  • Confident and competent in restorative, surgical, and removable procedures, capable of operating with a high degree of independence.
  • A clear, proactive communicator who keeps patients and teammates aligned and informed.
  • Committed to the community for the long term rather than treating it as a short-term stepping stone.
  • Growth-minded, using CE opportunities to expand skills and confidence over time.
  • Willing to take extreme ownership - someone who solves problems rather than placing blame.
