Job description

We are seeking a General Dentist who is ready to take the next step into practice ownership. Our franchise model lets you own a practice without the typical barriers that make ownership feel out of reach.

New franchise owners receive hands-on mentorship from experienced partners, helping you build both clinical and business confidence from day one. With a built-in referral network and national marketing support, you'll benefit from steady patient flow and consistent growth.

Practice ownership should be about delivering excellent patient care and achieving true financial freedom—not navigating corporate red tape. At Comfort Dental, you gain full equity ownership from day one, with lower startup costs and no private equity involvement. Our proven model removes operational headaches, making ownership straightforward, attainable, and rewarding.

Our franchise partners consistently earn more than DSO associates or private practice owners weighed down by high overhead. With a lean, efficient model, you'll keep costs low, maximize earnings, and pay down student loans faster—all while maintaining full control over your schedule. The result is the professional autonomy, work-life balance, and lifestyle you set out to achieve.

What You'll Do

  • Provide comprehensive exams, diagnosis, and treatment planning with full clinical autonomy
  • Develop advanced skills in orthodontics, implant dentistry, oral surgery, and periodontics
  • Collaborate on complex cases with a supportive, experienced multi-doctor team
  • Build lasting relationships with patients who value exceptional care

What You Bring

  • DDS or DMD from an accredited dental program
  • Active dental license (or eligibility to obtain one)
  • A strong clinical foundation and genuine commitment to lifelong learning
  • Excellent communication skills and a patient-centered approach
Benefits:
    Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, Bonuses
Compensation:
  • $300,000-$400,000/hour
