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 Enjoy Working Here

This is a unique chance to join a private, multi-specialty pediatric and orthopedic practice with strong community ties and a history of providing high-quality care for over 40 years. You will start with a full patient roster, work alongside a high-performing team, and benefit from the mentorship of a Tufts faculty orthodontist who is dedicated to collaborative care.

The practice is well-respected, organized, and family-oriented, free from chaos and DSO burnout. The systems are efficient, the culture is collaborative, and you will never feel like just another “provider.” If you aspire to grow both clinically and professionally, this position offers a clear path to ownership in a sustainable practice.

You will thrive here if you appreciate working within a supportive team, value long-term patient relationships, and are eager to provide excellent pediatric care in a well-managed private practice. This role is ideal for someone confident in their clinical abilities, who communicates effectively, and wishes to be part of a close-knit office that takes pride in serving the community.

If you are uncertain about managing a full schedule or not ready to take ownership of your clinical decisions, this may not be the right fit for you. We seek someone prepared to integrate into a strong system, contribute positively to the culture, and grow with us for the long term.

Our Core Values

• Long-Term Trust Over Short-Term Gains - This practice has been a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years, with many patients who visited Dr. Ben’s father now bringing their children to him. Such generational trust is built through consistency, respect, and high clinical standards, reflected in every patient interaction.
  
• Professional, Clear Communication - Our team values direct and respectful communication with patients, assistants, and colleagues. We are looking for someone who speaks up, listens carefully, and engages in conversations with professionalism and courtesy.
  
• Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality - Children can be restless, and our team knows how to manage that. Appointments are designed for speed and strategy, utilizing sedation tools and quadrant-based planning to provide high-quality care within realistic timeframes. You will be supported by systems that respect both your time and that of the patients.
  
• Collaboration Between Specialties - As a pediatric-ortho practice, teamwork across specialties is integral to our daily operations. Treatment plans are shared, patient care is continuous, and open communication among doctors is vital.
  
• Stability and Leadership from the Top - Dr. Ben is not only an orthodontist but also a Tufts faculty member, a second-generation practice owner, and a hands-on leader. He is actively investing in the systems and structure to create an environment where the right associate can evolve into a leadership or ownership role over time.
  

What You’ll Do

• Deliver pediatric dental care adhering to the highest clinical standards.
  
• Oversee a full patient schedule with assistance from experienced staff.
  
• Engage in treatment planning and collaborate on interdisciplinary cases.
  
• Build long-term relationships with patients and their families.
  
• Foster a positive team culture that prioritizes communication and collective 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 administrative team
  

Why This Position Stands Out

This position offers competitive pay, including a $1,200 daily guarantee, an adjusted production rate of 32-34%, and potential earnings ranging from $240,000 to over $410,000. With a full schedule from day one and established referral systems, you will have the support and patient flow necessary to excel both clinically and financially.

Situated in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the practice provides the small-town community connection that many dentists seek, while still being conveniently located near Providence and Boston. This setting allows you to cultivate long-term relationships with patients while enjoying a balanced lifestyle without sacrificing access to urban amenities.

You will join a culture that prioritizes professionalism, transparency, and shared success. This is a grounded, low-drama team where everyone plays a role, communication is clear, and patients are treated like family. The environment is fast-paced yet well-supported, with systems designed to help you succeed without chaos.

Mentorship is an integral part of the practice's framework. You will work alongside Dr. Ben Chan, a Tufts faculty member and seasoned orthodontist who is deeply committed to collaborative care and the growth of associates. If you seek guidance, case support, and someone genuinely invested in your success, you will find it here.

Most importantly, this is not just another associateship. For the right candidate, this represents a clear path to ownership in a well-established, multi-specialty private practice. If you are looking for a long-term home where you can lead, grow, and create something meaningful, this is an opportunity worth considering.

Who We’re Seeking
We are looking for someone who is:

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