Job description

We have associate dentists opportunities at Higginbotham Family Dental. Dr. Higginbotham and his associates offer mentor training to dentists that are joining right out of dental school.

We have associate dentists opportunities for those graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree. Each dentist, while working for us, will have a full staff at the office and behind the scenes.

We also have opportunities for experienced associate dentists looking for a new home. We have a team of experienced dentists that you can refer to, rely on for advice or a second opinion. Furthermore, we take care of all the insurance credentialing process and help you with getting licenses and continuing education. If you are a dentist that owns your own practice but are tired of the business side of managing, hiring, firing, payroll, ordering supplies and paying expenses, then we may be able to take that stress away by purchasing your clinic while leaving you in the office to still work with your patients and current staff.
