Job description

2026 Graduate / Resident General Dentist Opportunity – Grants, New Mexico | Busy Private Group Practice (Confidential)
W-2 + Benefits | 10 Operatories | Dentrix | 4 Hygienists | 2 Doctors | Owner Dentist On-Site FT

If you're a 2026 graduating dental student or current resident and want to launch your career in a high-demand, high-support environment, this is a standout opportunity. Join a busy, doctor-led private group practice in Grants, NM with an on-site, full-time Owner Dentist, strong systems, and a team built to help a new dentist ramp quickly and confidently.

This position is opening due to a planned transition: the current associate is producing ~$80,000/month and expects to relocate this summer (no formal notice yet). We're recruiting early so the next doctor has a smooth start, strong training, and continuity of care.

What You'll Step Into

A stable, high-volume practice with real mentorship and excellent support—ideal for a new grad who wants to become clinically strong and productive fast.

Practice Snapshot

  • 10 operatories
  • 2 Doctors (including Owner Dentist on-site full-time)
  • 4 Hygienists with strong recall systems
  • Dentrix practice management software (PMS)
  • No CBCT at this location
  • Strong assisting + front office support and efficient daily flow

Mentorship & New-Grad Support

You'll work alongside an experienced Owner Dentist in a practice that can help you build confidence in:

  • Efficient, comprehensive exams and diagnosis
  • Treatment planning and patient communication
  • Restorative workflows (composites, crowns, bridges)
  • Simple to moderate extractions
  • Growing into endo (if desired) with coaching and reps over time

You'll have the patient volume to learn quickly, without being left on an island.

⚙ Ideal Clinical Fit (for a New Grad)

We're seeking a coachable, growth-minded dentist who:

  • Wants to practice comprehensive general dentistry
  • Values quality, patient experience, and good communication
  • Is eager to improve speed and confidence with repetition
  • Enjoys being part of a team and asking questions early/often

Office Hours & Schedule Fit

Office Hours

  • Monday: 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Tuesday: 7:30 AM – 7:00 PM
  • Wednesday: 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Thursday: 7:30 AM – 7:00 PM
  • Friday: 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM
  • Saturday/Sunday: Closed

Associate Schedule
This is a full-time role with a consistent, sustainable weekly schedule aligned to the office hours above (exact days configured around doctor coverage and your preferences).

Why This Is a Strong “First Job” Opportunity

  • High patient demand (associate producing ~$80K/month)
  • Owner Dentist on-site full-time = real-time mentorship and support
  • Strong hygiene department (4 hygienienists) feeding restorative flow
  • Efficient systems (Dentrix) + experienced team
  • A stable, private-practice environment to build long-term clinical confidence

Why Grants, NM?

If you want lower cost of living, easy commutes, and access to incredible New Mexico outdoors—Grants is a great place to start your career, get reps, and build a strong clinical foundation.
