Job Description

Associate Pediatric Dentist – Mentorship – Ownership / Partnership Potential

Location : Grand Rapids, MI

Status : Full-Time | 4 Days / Week (8 AM – 3 PM) with 5 days available (Monday–Friday; Friday hours end at 2 PM)

Compensation & Benefits : $240,000–$400,000+ annually (current associate is earning $400,000 on a 4-day work week)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Mitten Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics, we believe that pediatric dentistry should be fun, rewarding, and high-quality. With two thriving locations approximately 25 minutes apart (Caledonia and Grand Rapids), you’ll join a well-established, patient-first private practice where you’ll be surrounded by mentorship, cutting-edge tech, and a collaborative team. You'll get to work in two state-of-the-art facilities, both under five years old, equipped with CO₂ and diode lasers, overhead TVs, and Bluetooth headphones at every chair. From day one, you’ll step into a full schedule, serving a loyal patient base of over 13,000 active patients with 400 new patients each month. We’re a team-oriented, community-focused practice that takes pride in making a lasting impact on the families we serve—both inside and outside the office.

Mentorship here means working side-by-side with experienced board certified pediatric dentists, offering nearly every aspect of pediatric dentistry. You’ll gain real-world experience in moderate conscious sedation, GA cases, and much more. You’ll learn proven techniques for safe, efficient, and confident treatment. It's structured, hands-on, and designed to help you grow into a truly well-rounded provider—fast.

Is this the right practice for you?

This practice is the right place for you if you’re positive, team-focused, and eager to grow into a well-rounded pediatric provider, skilled in moderate sedation and advanced pediatric procedures like frenectomies through hands-on mentorship. You thrive in fast-paced environments, love working with kids, and show up each day ready to learn and lift others up.

If you're seeking a more independent, slower-paced environment that focuses on just the basics of pediatric dentistry, this may not be the right fit. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic setting and enjoys being part of something bigger than their individual role.

Our Core Values

  • Good Vibes, Great Attitude – We show up with positivity and treat everyone with kindness, sincerity, and compassion. Whether it’s supporting a teammate or lifting a patient’s spirits, we take action to enhance the work environment and leave personal baggage at the door. Change is embraced here, and feedback is always welcome when it helps us grow.
  • Expect Excellence – We never settle. Every member of our team continually works to improve their skills and deliver five-star experiences to patients and families. We’re dependable, professional, and hold ourselves to the highest standards of care, compliance, and confidentiality.
  • Team First – At our practice, there’s no room for ego. We work collaboratively, celebrate each other’s contributions, and lift one another up. Loyalty, trust, and a shared commitment to our mission define how we operate, and we show up for our teammates every single day.
  • Do the Right Thing – Integrity isn’t optional—it’s who we are. We keep the best interests of our patients, teammates, and the practice at heart and always choose the ethical path. Helping each other and working toward shared goals is part of our DNA.
  • Open and Honest – We value real, respectful, and transparent communication. That means listening actively, speaking freely, admitting mistakes, and growing from them. We have a culture of authenticity, where feedback is encouraged and is used to make us all better.

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver comprehensive pediatric dental care.
  • Treat patients under moderate sedation and office-based general anesthesia (mentorship provided if you aren't experienced in this aspect).
  • Secure hospital privileges to care for special needs patients at the local children’s hospital. (Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital)
  • Communicate treatment confidently with parents and caregivers.
  • Collaborate with hygienists, assistants, and a 40+ member team across two state-of-the-art offices.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and remain flexible to team needs.
  • Grow your clinical and leadership skills in a mentorship-rich environment.
  • Qualifications :

  • Active Michigan dental license
  • ABPD diplomate status, or on track to achieve ABPD board certification
  • PALs certification
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive Pay : $1,200 daily guarantee or 30–35% of monthly production (whichever is greater)
  • Ownership / Partnership Opportunity
  • Relocation Bonus
  • Real Mentorship (from experienced doctors)
  • CE Allowance
  • Health Insurance Stipend
  • Lab Fees Covered
  • Why This Job Stands Out

  • Ownership Track – There’s a clear path to gain equity after 1–2 years for associates who are committed and aligned with the practice. We’re building long-term partners, not short-term hires.
  • Mentorship Culture – You’ll get hands-on training in moderate sedation, case planning, and practice leadership from experienced docs who love to teach. If you’re eager to grow, this is the place to do it—with real support and feedback along the way. And, with our location in Grand Rapids, you’ll also have unique opportunities to network and collaborate within a thriving local dental community, further expanding your professional growth and connections.
  • Strong Infrastructure – Our two locations are equipped with 20+ ops, in-house ortho, lasers, CBCT, and general anesthesia services. We’ve built an environment where you can focus on delivering excellent care with the tools you need.
  • Energetic Team – With 40+ team members across both offices, our culture is upbeat, supportive, and all-in on teamwork. People here genuinely care about the mission, the patients, and each other.
  • Location Perks – Grand Rapids offers affordable living, beautiful outdoor spaces, and a vibrant downtown scene. It’s a great place to grow your career and enjoy life outside the office, too.
  • Who We’re Looking For

    Someone who is :

  • A team player who jumps in to support wherever needed and thrives in a collaborative environment.
  • Coachable and growth-oriented, with a strong desire to learn and improve.
  • Confident with parent communication, able to explain treatment clearly and with empathy.
  • Comfortable with—or excited to learn—procedures involving moderate sedation and general anesthesia.
  • Fun and energetic, bringing positivity and warmth that helps create a welcoming environment for patients, families, and the team.
  • Flexible and reliable, with a positive attitude and willingness to help beyond the op room.
  • Sound Like a Fit? Let’s Talk.

    Reach out today—we’d love to meet you.
