Associate Dentist — $150K Guaranteed Base | Clinical Mentorship | Ownership Path
Baldwinsville Family Dental PLLC — Baldwinsville, New York
Full-time | Percentage-of-collections compensation | Benefits
Are you building the dental career you actually wanted?
Are you tired of the insurance-based grind—running between operatories just to make the numbers work?
Do you want to provide comprehensive care, but find yourself referring the procedures you would rather learn to perform?
Are you receiving meaningful clinical mentorship—or simply being told to “produce more”?
And when your employer talks about eventual ownership, is there a real path—or just another vague promise?
Baldwinsville Family Dental offers a different kind of opportunity.
We are a busy, established private practice in one of Central New York’s most desirable and growing communities. We have stepped away from participation with most insurance plans, allowing our doctors to focus more on comprehensive care and less on the high-volume, low-reimbursement treadmill.
Our current associate is an accomplished “Super GP” who provides advanced care including implants, full-arch dentistry, third-molar extractions and sedation. With his upcoming departure, we are searching for a motivated general dentist who is ready to care for an abundant base of new and existing patients—and grow into the clinician they want to become.
You do not need to arrive with advanced clinical skills. You do need the desire to develop them.
Your opportunity
You will join a practice with:
- A strong and consistent flow of new and established patients
- Immediate demand for comprehensive general dentistry
- The freedom to diagnose and provide appropriate care without corporate interference
- A highly experienced team and established clinical systems
- The opportunity to expand into orthodontics, implants, oral surgery, endodontics, sedation and full-arch dentistry
- A genuine, transparent path toward partnership or practice ownership
This is not an associate position where the owner keeps the best cases and hands you the leftovers. We want you to build a productive patient base, broaden your clinical abilities and create a long-term future within the practice.
Mentorship that goes beyond occasional advice
You will receive direct mentorship from Dr. Mike Grossman, an experienced practice owner, educator, author and Founding Faculty member of The OrthoDentistry MasterKey, a comprehensive orthodontic consultancy for general dentists powered by orthobrain.
Mentorship can be tailored to your goals and may include:
- Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning
- Clear aligner and comprehensive orthodontic treatment
- Implant dentistry
- Oral surgery and extractions
- Endodontics
- Practice management and case presentation
- Developing the clinical and business skills required for ownership
The goal is not to make you practice exactly like someone else. It is to help you become the confident, comprehensive dentist you want to be.
Compensation and benefits
- Guaranteed base compensation starting at $150,000
- Significant earning potential through a percentage-of-collections compensation model
- Benefits including health insurance and 401(k), subject to plan eligibility
- Continuing education and professional development support
- Full-time, consistent schedule
- Clear opportunity for partnership or ownership for the right candidate
- Open and transparent communication about practice performance and future opportunities
Who will thrive here?
This opportunity may be an excellent fit if you are:
- A motivated general dentist who wants to keep learning
- A recent graduate seeking genuine, hands-on mentorship
- An experienced dentist ready to escape the insurance-driven volume model
- Interested in comprehensive dentistry and advanced procedures
- Looking for autonomy without having to practice alone
- Entrepreneurial and potentially interested in future ownership
- Kind, ethical, team-oriented and committed to an exceptional patient experience
Advanced skills in implants, full-arch dentistry, third-molar extractions, orthodontics or sedation would be welcomed—but they are not required.
Clinical curiosity, strong character and the desire to grow matter more.
