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 Love Working Here

This is a rare opportunity to join a private, multi-specialty pediatric and orthopedic practice with deep community roots and a reputation for delivering high-quality care for over 40 years. You’ll walk into a full patient schedule from day one, a high-performing team, and the support of a Tufts faculty orthodontist who’s passionate about mentorship and multi-specialty collaboration.

The practice is respected, organized, and family-focused with no chaos and no DSO burnout. The systems are dialed in, the culture is collaborative, and you’ll never feel like just a “provider.” If you’re looking to grow clinically and professionally, this role includes a clear path to ownership in a thriving practice that’s built to last.

You’ll feel right at home here if you enjoy working with a supportive team, value long-term patient relationships, and are excited about delivering great pediatric care in a well-run private practice. It’s a great fit for someone confident in their clinical skills, who communicates clearly, and wants to be part of a close-knit office that takes pride in doing good work for the community.

If you’re unsure about managing a full schedule or aren’t quite ready to take ownership of your clinical decisions, this may not be the right environment for you. We’re looking for someone who’s ready to plug into a strong system, contribute to a positive culture, and grow with us for the long haul.

Our Core Values

• Long-Term Trust Over Short-Term Gains- This practice has been a pillar in the community for over 40 years, and many of the patients who came to Dr. Ben’s father now bring their children to him. That level of generational trust isn’t built overnight; it’s earned through consistency, respect, and high clinical standards. Every patient interaction reflects that mindset.
  
• Professional, Clear Communication – This team values direct, respectful dialogue with its patients, assistants, and colleagues. We are seeking someone who speaks up, listens attentively, and conducts conversations with professionalism and courtesy.
  
• Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality– Kids don’t sit still, and this team knows how to work with that. Appointments are structured around speed and strategy, using sedation tools and quadrant-based planning to deliver high-quality care in realistic timeframes. You’ll be supported by systems that respect both your time and theirs.
  
• Collaboration Between Specialties – As a pediatric-ortho practice, teamwork across specialties is part of the daily rhythm. Treatment plans are shared, patient care is continuous, and open communication between doctors is essential.
  
• Stability and Leadership from the Top – Dr. Ben is not just an orthodontist; he’s a Tufts faculty member, a second-generation practice owner, and a hands-on leader. He’s actively investing in the systems and structure to make this a place where the right associate can grow into a leadership or ownership role over time.
  

What You’ll Do

• Provide pediatric dental care to the highest clinical standards.
  
• Manage a full patient schedule with support from experienced assistants.
  
• Participate in treatment planning and collaborate on cross-specialty cases.
  
• Engage with patients and families to build long-term relationships.
  
• Contribute to a positive team culture that values communication and shared 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 admin team
  

Why This Job Stands Out

This role offers competitive compensation, including a $1,200 daily guarantee, an adjusted production rate of 32-34%, and realistic earnings between $240,000 and $410,000+. With a full schedule from day one and strong referral systems already in place, you’ll have the support and patient flow to thrive clinically and financially.

Located in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the practice offers the kind of small-town community connection many dentists are looking for, while still being within reach of Providence and Boston. It’s a setting where you can build long-term relationships with patients and enjoy a balanced lifestyle without sacrificing access to city amenities.

You’ll be stepping into a culture that values professionalism, transparency, and shared success. This is a grounded, low-drama team where everyone contributes, communication is clear, and patients are treated like family. The environment is fast-paced but well-supported, and the systems are built to help you succeed without chaos.

Mentorship is built into the practice's structure. You’ll be working alongside Dr. Ben Chan, a Tufts faculty member and experienced orthodontist who is deeply committed to collaborative care and associate growth. If you’re looking for guidance, case support, and someone who genuinely wants to see you succeed, you’ll find it here.

Most importantly, this isn’t just another associateship. For the right doctor, this is a clear path to ownership in a well-established, multi-specialty private practice. If you’re looking for a long-term home where you can lead, grow, and build something meaningful, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

Who We’re Looking For
Someone who is:

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