Our office is BUSY and we hope to hire a fun-loving and passionate dentist to join our hardworking team to do a whole lot of high-quality dentistry.

Why are we looking for an Associate?:

I purchased this practice in July of 2024 and growth has been exponential. We need a second dentist.
Office sees >80 new patients a month and still not meeting the demand while pushing any additional new patients months on months out.
Our continued growth is inevitable and we need more help and more space to meet the demand.

How an associate would help us:

Allow us to meet the new patient and dental treatment demand our office has.
Expand specialty procedures we do not currently offer such as endodontics (not required).
Shorten the wait time for our current patients.
Reduce workload of a single provider covering such a high volume of patients.

What we expect from an Associate:

Easy-going. We all deal with enough drama with patients and in our lives. Our staff is amazing and we want someone that can come in, put on a smile, make patients comfortable, have fun, and do some great dentistry.
Great communication skills.
Great hand skills.
That's.... kinda it. Be passionate about your work.

What we do NOT expect from our Associate:

Doing hygiene procedures - if you want to fine (maybe), but I have not done a prophy since dental school and I do not expect you to either. We have amazing hygienists that are much better than both of us taking care of that.
Take procedures I do not want to do. You will not be doing a day full of Class II restorations while I have a day full of crowns. We want you to be happy and successful. Unhappy associate = Unhappy Ryan.
See all the kids. Kids are funny and I like working with them. The previous owner didn't see many kids, so although the number is growing, it's very rare to see a child on the schedule.
Be on call. We see patient's Mon-Thurs 8-5. I'll come in on some Fridays off for big cases, but there is no after hour or weekend on call.

What we offer our future associate:

Practice Specs:

6 oversized operatories - ability to make 7 with current layout with January 2026 expansion plans w/ 4+ additional operatories.
CBCT.
Digital sensors and ability to take radiographs in every room.
Open Dental practice management software.
Soft tissue laser.
Prime Scan 2 and Itero Element 2 intraoral scanners.
Intraoral Cameras and patient monitors in every room.
Alma Opus plasma radio frequency skin resurfacing device (getting trained Feb 2025).
Nitrous (... for the patients)
Surgical handpieces/ motors/ implant system (BioHorizons Conical Connection).
This list will continue to grow.

Dr. Mariner's background:

Grew up locally in Ocean City, MD.
Graduated 2019 from Maryland Dental.
Did not do a residency. Applied to one, matched, and bailed to work in Private Practice.
Worked as an associate for 5 years 30 minutes away from current practice location - was able to gross $350K the last year as an associate without any specialty procedures other than extractions and grafting. The potential is here.
- Why did I leave such a great job? Apparently I needed more stress in my life.
- That job is also available and if it doesn't work with us, I am happy to connect you with them. No hard feelings, they are also great people.
Taken veneer courses in Dr. Apa's LA office.
AAFE botox and filler certified - don't really do this in the office. BUT we could!
Implant Pathway curriculum.
SPEAR education.
Winner of best Cosmetic Dentist in the county 3 years in a row.

Staff:

Retained all existing office staff from the acquisition. They are amazing individuals.
Some staff have been with the practice over 8 years. It's that great.
3 full time hygienists. Many part-time/ fill-in hygienists to keep hygiene full at all times even if one goes on vacation.
One office manager and a new patient coordinator at the front desk.
One full time assistant and two part time assistants (always have two assistants).
Will hire another front desk staff as well as necessary assistants for our new dentist.

Looking into the future:

Continued growth, improvements, technological advances, revenue, offered services, happy staff, and happy patients.
