What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Dentist position at LA COSTA FAMILY DENTAL?
Associate Dentist – Startup Opportunity | Path to 30% Ownership | Implant-Focused | San Pedro, CA
Location: San Pedro, Southern California
Job Type: Full-Time
Startup Opportunity | Partnership Track | Mentorship & Growth
We are seeking a motivated, entrepreneurial Associate Dentist to join a startup practice in San Pedro with a clear path to 30% ownership.
There is no existing patient base or hygiene program currently in place. Instead, this is a ground-up opportunity to build, grow, and shape a modern implant-focused dental practice from day one—with strong backing and guidance.
If you’re driven, patient, and excited about long-term upside, this role offers significant growth potential.
What You Get
- 30% Partnership Opportunity with a transparent path
- Mentorship in implant dentistry and practice growth
- Clinical and operational support from established, successful practices
- Guidance on building patient flow, systems, and team
- Freedom to help shape systems, culture, and clinical approach
- Long-term high income potential tied to growth and ownership
What This Role Requires
- Willingness to build a practice from the ground up
- Comfort with slower initial ramp-up
- Strong work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset
- Ability to contribute to patient acquisition and retention
- Interest in implant dentistry and surgical growth
Ideal Candidate
- Motivated to grow into ownership, not just employment
- Open to mentorship and continuous learning
- Strong communication and a case acceptance mindset
- Efficient, adaptable, and team-oriented
- California dental license (or in process)
Bonus Skills
- Implant placement or desire to learn
- Surgical procedures, extractions, or endodontics
- 1 year experience preferred, but driven new grads welcome
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- True startup equity opportunity, not a corporate track
- Direct mentorship from an experienced multi-practice owner
- Back-end support from established offices to help you succeed
- Ability to build something valuable from day one
Bottom Line
If you want a guaranteed paycheck with instant volume, this is not the right fit.
If you want to build, grow, and eventually own a meaningful piece of a practice, this is a rare opportunity.
