Why You’ll Love Working Here

SmileMakers Dental isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to thrive. Led by Dr. Paul Romriell, a respected prosthodontist who loves to mentor, this is a rare opportunity to join a well-established, patient-centered private practice in Pocatello, ID. From day one, you’ll walk into a fully booked schedule and a team that’s warm, drama-free, and completely committed to your success. You'll receive mentorship in comprehensive care and gain access to Dr. Romriell's national network of leading dental clinicians.

You’ll choose the path, whether that’s endo, cosmetic, or rock-solid restorative. With a high case acceptance rate, strong community reputation, and patients booked out 6+ weeks, you’ll have the volume, tools, and support to grow fast.

We’re also growing! We are expanding to a new state-of-the-art building within this next year, with additional ops and improved flow, ready for you to grow into a more advanced role.

This role is a great match if you are motivated to grow with a team and build something long-term. If you're looking for a slower pace practice, short-term job, or prefer to work more independently, this may not be the right practice for you. We value collaboration, shared responsibility, a learning mindset, and are looking for someone who thrives in that environment.

Our Core Values

• Integrity – We do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. From diagnosis to delivery, we make decisions based on what’s best for the patient, not production numbers or shortcuts. Trust is our foundation, and we work every day to earn and protect it.
• Warmth & Compassion – We treat every patient like family, creating an environment where people feel safe, seen, and heard. A warm smile, a kind word, and true empathy are just as important to us as clinical skill. Compassion is at the heart of everything we do.
• Excellence – We believe high-quality care doesn’t have to be slow or overcomplicated. We aim to deliver excellent results quickly and comfortably, minimizing post-op discomfort while maximizing the patient experience. Every procedure is a chance to raise the bar.
• Teamwork – Whether you're at the front desk or in the operatory, everyone steps up to support each other and ensure the day runs smoothly. Every role matters, and we believe that success comes from showing up for one another. Respect and collaboration are the foundation of how we work.
• Growth – We’re passionate about learning and improving—clinically, personally, and as a team. From mentorship sessions and CE to sharing case tips and celebrating each other’s wins, we’re committed to getting better together. Growth isn’t optional here—it’s built into our culture.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver efficient, high-quality general dentistry (fillings, crowns, same-day care, etc.)
  
• Present and execute treatment plans with clarity and empathy
  
• Collaborate with an experienced team to provide same-day treatment whenever possible
  
• Build patient trust through confident communication and a calm, empathetic chairside manner
  
• Contribute to a positive team culture with a collaborative, can-do attitude
  

Compensation & Benefits

• Daily Guarantee
• Paid Based On Adjusted Production
• CE allowance
• Lab Fees Covered
• Mentorship Plan: Weekly case reviews, shadowing, hands-on guidance
  

Why This Job Stands Out

• Mentorship That’s Comprehensive – At SmileMakers Dental, you’ll benefit from structured, intentional mentorship with weekly one-on-one case reviews, collaborative treatment planning, and deep discussions on complex cases. Guided by Dr. Romriell’s expertise in prosthetics and comprehensive dentistry, you’ll sharpen your decision-making skills and clinical confidence, setting yourself apart in your career.
• Consistent Patient Flow – With an established reputation and strong community relationships, you’ll step into a schedule that’s already full and ready for you. From day one, you’ll be the trusted referral for patients who value quality care and long-term relationships.
• Do What You Love – Focus on endo, Invisalign, restorative, or cosmetic—no fighting for production or taking leftovers.
• Work-Life Balance – Enjoy the rewards of practicing high-quality dentistry without the stress of ownership or partnership. This role allows you to focus fully on patient care while maintaining balance in your personal and professional life.
• Pocatello Lifestyle – Enjoy mountain views, outdoor activities, and a tight-knit, welcoming community. It's a beautiful place to build a life and a career.
• Team That Has Your Back – Assistants, hygienists, and front office staff are experienced, loyal, and low-drama—the kind of people you want beside you daily.
  

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who is…..

• A clear communicator who builds trust with patients
  
• Humble, coachable, and calm under pressure
  
• Enjoys fast-paced, high-quality care and same-day dentistry
  
• A team player who supports both clinical and non-clinical office needs
  
• Proficient in, or open to learning, Invisalign, ortho, and/or endo
