Build a Meaningful Career Helping Children Smile
Join a team committed to compassionate care, clear communication, and positive dental experiences for children and families.
Now Hiring: Associate Dentist
Paris Children’s Dentistry is looking for a general dentist to join our established, growing family dental practice in Paris, Texas. We see children, teens, adults, and caregivers. Despite our name, we are a family general-dentistry practice, not a pediatric specialty practice, so pediatric specialty training is not required.
We welcome recent dental-school graduates, experienced dentists, and dentists interested in a recurring traveling arrangement. Candidates should be comfortable working with children and families.
Clinical Leadership and Mentorship
Dr. Shaneka Scott, DDS, owns the practice and leads clinical care and mentorship. We are committed to the professional development of newer dentists, and mentorship and support are tailored to each dentist’s experience.
Schedules
Full-time, part-time, and recurring traveling arrangements may be available. Full-time is generally four to five clinical days per week; part-time is generally two to three. Associate hours are 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Friday.
Compensation
Experienced associates earn the greater of $650 per scheduled clinical day worked or 30% of Net Collections, meaning the income allocated to the associate in our biweekly Income Allocation Report. Training-phase arrangements for recent graduates and any lodging or travel support for traveling associates are subject to individual agreements. Final terms are defined in the employment agreement. Compensation may include a signing bonus after 12 months of employment, as defined in the individual employment agreement.
Performance Expectations
Production is our primary measure of provider performance. We set production goals with each associate based on experience and schedule. Production goals are separate from how compensation is calculated.
What the Practice Offers
- An established Medicaid and PPO patient base with steady community demand
- 14 fully equipped operatories
- Strong hygiene flow
- Clinical support staff matched to the associate’s schedule
- Help with credentialing and payer enrollment
- Dedicated nonclinical management for operations, revenue cycle, and administration, so dentists can focus on patient care
Benefits and Professional Support
Benefits and professional support may include employer-paid professional liability coverage, an annual allowance for approved continuing education and professional expenses, a 401(k) with employer match for eligible full-time employees, access to the practice’s in-house dental plan, and employer-paid approved laboratory expenses. Eligibility requirements apply. Employer-sponsored health insurance is not currently offered.
Qualifications
- DDS or DMD from an accredited dental school
- Active Texas dental license, or eligibility to obtain one
- Comfortable treating children and families
- Strong communication and documentation skills
- Open to feedback and committed to clinical quality
