Grow With Us in a Flexible Role

We are excited to announce an opening for a Part-Time Associate Dentist at our Maple Ridge Family practice. This position is perfect for a dentist seeking a flexible schedule or looking to supplement their week while enjoying our warm, family-like work culture. You will join the same compassionate, skilled team described above, committed to excellent patient care and continuous learning. Schedule: Part-time (approximately 1-3 days per week, based on your availability). Evening and/or weekend shifts can be arranged as needed and are negotiable to fit the right candidate’s schedule.

Key Responsibilities:

General Dentistry Care: Provide comprehensive general dental services during your scheduled days, including check-ups, fillings, root canals, extractions, and crown/bridge work. Even on a part-time basis, you’ll play a key role in maintaining our high standard of patient care.
Patient Comfort and Quality: Deliver gentle, patient-focused care to every patient. Take the time to ensure patients feel comfortable, informed, and valued – reflecting our practice’s friendly, community-oriented values.
Expanded Services (Optional): If within your skill set, you may also provide implants, children’s dentistry treatments, or minor orthodontic (Invisalign) cases. (Not required – but we support you in offering these services if you are interested.)
Team Coordination: Work alongside our team of professionals to ensure each day runs smoothly. Although part-time, you’ll integrate fully with our staff, collaborating with assistants and hygienists to provide seamless care.
Patient Relationship Management: Help foster long-term relationships with patients. Even if you’re in the office a few days a week, your friendly demeanor and attentive care will leave a lasting impression that keeps patients coming back.

Qualifications:

Dental Credentials: DMD/DDS from an accredited institution with a license (or eligibility for licensure) in British Columbia. (Must be in good standing with BCCOHP.)
Experience Level: Experience is welcome but not mandatory. Whether you are a seasoned dentist or a recent graduate, you will receive the support and mentorship needed to thrive in our practice.
Clinical Skills: Competence in general dental procedures (restorative, endodontics, simple extractions, prosthodontics). Ability or interest in pediatric dentistry, implant placement, or Invisalign is an asset. (We’re happy to mentor you in these areas if you wish to expand your skills.)
Communication: Strong communication and interpersonal skills. You should be able to explain treatment plans clearly, listen to patient concerns, and make patients feel at ease. A friendly, empathetic personality is a must to fit in with our patient-centered culture.
Adaptability: Flexibility to work in a part-time capacity with potential evening or weekend hours if agreed upon. You manage time well and can adapt to varying daily schedules.
Team and Work Ethic: A cooperative team member who is punctual, professional, and enthusiastic about dentistry. You value continuing education and are eager to learn from and contribute to our team on the days you practice.

What We Offer:

Inclusive, Family-Like Atmosphere: Experience a workplace where everyone knows your name and supports each other. Even as a part-time member, you become part of our dental family, attending team events and contributing to a positive office morale.
Modern & Well-Equipped Office: Enjoy working in a modern clinic with up-to-date technology (digital charts, digital x-rays, intraoral scanners, etc.). Our investment in technology makes your job easier and enhances patient care.
Mentorship & Support: One-on-one mentorship is available whenever you need it. Our senior dentists are happy to consult on cases and share knowledge. We foster a collaborative environment where no one practices in isolation – help is always at hand.
Professional Development: We encourage and support continuing education for our part-time associates too. You’ll have access to training opportunities and may receive CE allowances or time off for relevant courses to advance your skills.
Flexible Scheduling: As a part-time associate, flexibility is a key benefit. We will work with you to create a schedule that suits your needs, whether it’s specific weekdays or weekend rotations. This role offers excellent work-life balance, allowing you to maintain other commitments while growing your practice presence with us.
Competitive Pay: Receive competitive compensation for your part-time hours, including a fair percentage of billings/production. We value your contributions and ensure the remuneration reflects your skills and the quality care you provide.
Potential for Growth: As our practice continues to grow, there may be opportunities to increase days or transition to full-time in the future if you desire. We are committed to building long-term relationships with our associates and supporting your career goals.
Strong Support Staff: Even on your part-time days, you’ll have a full complement of trained staff (assistants, hygienists, reception) prepared for your schedule. They handle the prep, sterilization, paperwork, and insurance claims efficiently – so you can focus on treating patients.

If you’re a dedicated dentist seeking a part-time role in a supportive, community-focused practice, we want to hear from you!
