Associate Dentist – Implant-Focused Practice + Mentorship Opportunity

Location: Edina, MN

The The Staff Pad is partnering with a well-established, patient-centered dental practice in the Edina area to identify an Associate Dentist for a growth-oriented opportunity.

This role is ideal for a dentist who values quality dentistry, strong mentorship, and a collaborative team environment— with the ability to grow into a long-term position within the practice.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established, implant-focused general dentistry practice
  
• Direct mentorship from an experienced senior doctor
  
• Supportive, tenured clinical team
  
• Expansion-driven role with long-term stability
  
• Opportunity to grow alongside the practice
  

About the Practice

• Well-established general and implant dentistry practice
  
• Warm, laid-back culture with a strong patient-first approach
  
• Experienced team including multiple hygienists and dental assistants
  
• Efficient, well-supported clinical environment
  
• Located in a highly desirable Twin Cities suburb
  

The Opportunity

The practice is entering a growth phase, expanding hours and planning for a thoughtful provider transition. This creates an opportunity for an associate to step in, build relationships, and develop within a stable and supportive setting.

You’ll work closely with the senior doctor, gaining exposure to implant dentistry and advanced procedures, while building your own patient base over time.

What You’ll Do

• Provide comprehensive general dentistry with exposure to implant cases
  
• Collaborate closely with a tenured clinical support team
  
• Partner with the senior doctor on mentorship and patient care
  
• Contribute to practice growth as hours and patient demand expand
  

Who You Are

• DDS or DMD with Minnesota licensure (or eligibility)
  
• 2–5 years of experience preferred
  
• Comfortable in a collaborative, patient-focused environment
  
• Interested in expanding clinical skills, particularly in implants
  
• Easygoing, personable, and team-oriented
  

• Part-time to start (2–3 days per week)
  
• Friday availability strongly preferred
  
• Opportunity to grow into additional days as the practice expands
  

What You Can Expect

• Strong clinical support and mentorship
  
• Autonomy in patient care without rigid production pressure
  
• A stable, growth-minded environment focused on long-term success
  
• Opportunity to build a lasting career within the practice
