About the role

Associate Dentist – Focus on Sleep & TMJ/TMD Disorders Compensation: Competitive Daily Rate + Transition to Production-Based Pay Type: Full-Time Transform Lives at the End of the Pain Cycle Are you passionate about helping patients finally escape the chronic pain loop? We're seeking a motivated and compassionate Associate Dentist to join our dedicated team focused solely on Sleep Apnea and TMJ/TMD dentistry. This is not your typical dental role — it's a rare opportunity to work with a population that is actively seeking relief and transformation. Patients come to us as a last stop in their pain journey, ready for answers, and ready for change. You'll be a key part of that change.
What You'll Do: Work in a highly specialized clinical environment focusing on appliance therapy, TMJ rehabilitation, and sleep medicine protocols. Start with a structured apprenticeship under an experienced Sleep & TMJ Doctor — shadow, learn, and begin hands-on work with support. Transition to independent clinical practice as competence grows. Eventually move to a collections-based compensation model, reflecting your impact and production. Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team of assistants, administrators, and external sleep medicine professionals. Learn proprietary systems, from diagnostics to documentation, and how to work with medical billing and Beam Reader submissions.
Why Join Us? Lucrative Earnings Potential: This niche field allows for high-value casework and a meaningful collections path once ramped. Deep Mentorship: Gain direct, ongoing mentorship from a clinical leader in Sleep and TMJ therapy. Modern Clinical Protocols: Utilize ALF, Gelb, Panthera, and Spark technologies — we'll teach you everything. Work-Life Balance: Enjoy consistent hours, meaningful patient relationships, and minimal emergencies. Impact-Driven Culture: Our mission is centered on resolving chronic head and neck pain, sleep dysfunction, and restoring patient vitality. You're a Fit If You: Have a DDS/DMD and are licensed to practice in Virginia. Are curious and passionate about the neuroscience and biomechanics behind sleep and TMJ dysfunction and/or have grown tired of traditional dentistry and are looking to make a different medical impact without leaving the industry.. Thrive in a structured learning environment, but have the drive to eventually take clinical ownership. Want a future that looks different from drilling and filling all day — and believe there's more dentistry can do for people.
Employment Type: Full Time Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 Annual Bonus/Commission: Yes

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
