Job details

Big Smiles Dental | Gander, Newfoundland Full-Time | 50% Draw | Signing + Retention Bonus Your dream schedule is waiting for you. Big Smiles Dental is an established, high-demand practice in Gander, Newfoundland, with an inherited patient base, strong new-patient flow, and a schedule currently booked 3+ months in advance. With a patient base of 4,000+ new patients and continued demand for care, this is an opportunity to step into a busy practice where you can ramp up quickly, practice with autonomy, and become an integral part of a welcoming community. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Immediate Patient Demand - Walk into an established patient base with consistent new-patient flow and a schedule booked months ahead. 50% Draw + Bonuses - Competitive 50% draw, plus signing and retention bonuses. Clinical Autonomy - Practice the dentistry you want to practice, with opportunities across restorative dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, implants, prosthodontics and orthodontics. Leadership Opportunity - For an experienced dentist looking for more than an associate position, there is an opportunity to take on greater clinical leadership and help shape the continued growth of the practice. Technology to Support Your Scope - The practice is equipped with Dentrix, iTero, CBCT, 3D printing, nitrous sedation and the Nobel implant system. You’re the Right Fit If… You may be a new graduate or newly licensed dentist in Canada looking for a busy practice where you can build experience quickly.
