Associate Dentist

Benefits:

401(k) 401(k) matching Dental insurance Health insurance Training & development At Alpers Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Scottsdale, we’re looking for an experienced Associate Dentist who enjoys practicing at a high level and wants to continue growing, particularly in cosmetic, implant, and complex restorative dentistry. This is not a position where you’ll spend your days doing only basic restorative cases while the more interesting dentistry goes somewhere else. You’ll have the opportunity to diagnose comprehensively, build relationships with a great patient base, and treat a wide variety of cases in a modern, almost entirely fee-for-service practice. Just as importantly, you’ll work alongside Dr. Kris Alpers, who genuinely enjoys mentoring dentists and helping them become stronger clinicians. If you already have a few years of experience, have begun doing procedures such as veneers, cosmetic dentistry, or implants, and are thinking, “I’m good at what I do, but I know I can get better,” we’d like to meet you. Why This Opportunity Is Different Real Mentorship, Not Just a Promise of Mentorship Dr. Alpers is deeply invested in continuing education and clinical development. He mentors other dentists through The Pathway’s dental implant program and coaches dentists and practice owners through the Bulletproof Dental Practice Mastermind. That same mindset carries into our practice. You’ll have someone you can discuss cases with, learn from, and turn to as you expand what you’re comfortable treating. The goal isn’t for you to stay in the same clinical lane. We want to help you grow. The Opportunity to Do More Dentistry Our practice provides comprehensive care under one roof, including: Cosmetic and restorative dentistry

Porcelain and no-prep veneers

Dental implants

Bone and soft tissue grafting

Full-mouth reconstruction

Invisalign

Complex restorative cases

General and preventive dentistry

You don’t need to walk in as an expert in all of these areas. We are looking for someone who already has strong clinical fundamentals and wants more exposure, mentorship, and opportunity to continue developing. A Practice Built Around Quality We’re a modern, almost entirely fee-for-service practice with patients who value thoughtful, high-quality dentistry. We take the time to diagnose comprehensively, explain options clearly, and recommend treatment based on what will serve someone well long term. We don't believe in rushing people through appointments or settling for “good enough.” You’ll also have access to technology including CBCT imaging, iTero scanning, digital dentistry, 3D printing, smile simulations, and advanced laser technology. Your Schedule Matters We are hiring an associate because we want to build a meaningful role for that dentist. We don't intend to bring you in and leave you competing for whatever treatment happens to be left over. We want you to have a productive schedule, develop your own relationships with patients, and have opportunities to take on rewarding cases as your skills grow. Who We’re Looking For This position is best suited for a dentist who has been practicing for a few years and is comfortable with general restorative dentistry. Ideally, you’ve also gained some experience with cosmetic dentistry, veneers, implants, or other advanced procedures and want to keep building those skills. You’ll probably be a great fit here if you: Have a valid Arizona dental license and DEA registration

Have post-dental-school clinical experience

Have strong general and restorative dentistry skills

Have some experience or a strong clinical interest in cosmetic dentistry, veneers, and implants

Care about doing dentistry well, not simply doing more dentistry

Enjoy building trust and communicating treatment clearly

Welcome feedback and want mentorship

Are curious and committed to continuing education

Want to be part of a collaborative team rather than simply working alongside one

We aren't looking for someone who thinks they already know everything. And we aren't looking for a brand-new dentist who still needs to develop the fundamentals of everyday practice. We're looking for someone in that exciting middle ground: a capable dentist who wants to become an exceptional one. What You’ll Do You’ll provide comprehensive dental care while developing long-term relationships with your patients. That includes diagnosing and treatment planning, restorative dentistry, and increasingly complex cosmetic and implant cases based on your experience and clinical development. You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Alpers on cases
