Associate Pediatric Dentist - Private Practice - Full Schedule - Ownership Potential
Location: Cumberland, Rhode Island
Status: Full-Time | 4 days/week
Compensation & Benefits: $240,000 - $410,000

Why You’ll Enjoy Working Here

This is a unique chance to join a private, multi-specialty pediatric and orthopedic practice that has been a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years. You will start with a full patient roster, collaborate with a high-performing team, and receive mentorship from a Tufts faculty orthodontist who is dedicated to fostering growth and multi-specialty teamwork.

The practice is well-respected, organized, and family-oriented, free from chaos and DSO burnout. The systems are efficient, the culture is collaborative, and you will never feel like just another “provider.” If you are eager to advance both clinically and professionally, this position offers a clear route to ownership in a thriving practice designed for longevity.

You will thrive in this environment if you appreciate working with a supportive team, prioritize long-term patient relationships, and are passionate about providing excellent pediatric care in a well-managed private practice. This role is ideal for someone confident in their clinical abilities, who communicates effectively, and desires to be part of a close-knit office that takes pride in serving the community.

If you are uncertain about managing a full schedule or not quite ready to take ownership of your clinical decisions, this may not be the right fit for you. We seek an individual who is prepared to integrate into a robust system, enhance a positive culture, and grow with us for the long term.

Our Core Values

• Long-Term Trust Over Short-Term Gains - This practice has been a community pillar for over 40 years, with many patients returning to bring their children. Such generational trust is built through consistency, respect, and high clinical standards, reflected in every patient interaction.
  
• Professional, Clear Communication – Our team values direct and respectful communication with patients, assistants, and colleagues. We are looking for someone who speaks up, listens attentively, and engages in conversations with professionalism and courtesy.
  
• Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality – Children can be restless, and our team knows how to adapt. Appointments are structured for speed and strategy, utilizing sedation tools and quadrant-based planning to provide high-quality care within realistic timeframes. You will be supported by systems that respect both your time and that of the patients.
  
• Collaboration Between Specialties – As a pediatric-ortho practice, teamwork across specialties is integral to our daily operations. Treatment plans are shared, patient care is continuous, and open communication among doctors is vital.
  
• Stability and Leadership from the Top – Dr. Ben is not only an orthodontist but also a Tufts faculty member and a second-generation practice owner. He actively invests in the systems and structure to create an environment where the right associate can evolve into a leadership or ownership role over time.
  

What You’ll Do

• Deliver pediatric dental care adhering to the highest clinical standards.
  
• Manage a full patient schedule with assistance from experienced staff.
  
• Engage in treatment planning and collaborate on cases across specialties.
  
• Build long-term relationships with patients and their families.
  
• Contribute to a positive team culture that emphasizes communication and collective growth.
  

Compensation & Benefits

• Daily guarantee: $1,200/day (first 3–6 months)
  
• Adjusted production: 32-34%
  
• $2,500+ CE allowance
  
• Relocation bonus
  
• Health insurance
  
• 401(k)
  
• Ownership opportunity available
  
• Supportive, experienced clinical and administrative team
  

Why This Position Stands Out

This position offers a competitive compensation package, including a $1,200 daily guarantee, an adjusted production rate of 32-34%, and potential earnings between $240,000 and over $410,000. With a full schedule from day one and established referral systems, you will have the support and patient flow necessary to excel both clinically and financially.

Situated in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the practice provides the small-town community connection that many dentists seek, while still being conveniently located near Providence and Boston. This setting allows you to cultivate long-term patient relationships and enjoy a balanced lifestyle without sacrificing access to urban amenities.

You will be joining a culture that emphasizes professionalism, transparency, and shared success. This is a grounded, low-drama team where everyone plays a role, communication is straightforward, and patients are treated like family. The environment is fast-paced yet well-supported, with systems designed to help you succeed without chaos.

Mentorship is an integral part of the practice's framework. You will work alongside Dr. Ben Chan, a Tufts faculty member and seasoned orthodontist who is deeply committed to collaborative care and the growth of associates. If you seek guidance, case support, and a genuine desire for your success, you will find it here.

Most importantly, this is not just another associateship. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear path to ownership in a well-established, multi-specialty private practice. If you are looking for a long-term home where you can lead, grow, and create something meaningful, this opportunity is worth considering.

Who We’re Seeking
We are looking for someone who is:

• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with a full pediatric schedule and efficient systems.
  
• Clear, direct, and professional in communication with patients, families, and team members.
  
• Team-oriented, emotionally stable, and grounded in a respectful, low-drama approach to clinical care.
  
• Motivated to grow long-term within a private practice, with an interest in leadership or future ownership.
  
• Board-certified or board-eligible in pediatric dentistry.
