Associate Dentist Opportunity in Beautiful Johnson City, TN! Path to Partnership!
Blue Ridge Dental Group, a thriving and respected practice nestled in the heart of the Appalachian Highlands, is seeking an enthusiastic, compassionate, and skilled Associate Dentist to join our exceptional team. This is not just another job — it’s a legacy opportunity. You’ll be stepping into the shoes of a beloved founding partner who is retiring after an incredible 40-year career.

We are a doctor-owned and operated practice with deep roots in our community and a reputation for clinical excellence, integrity, and personalized care. Our recently expanded 6,300-square-foot facility includes 13 fully equipped A-dec operatories, Planmeca CBCT, multiple intraoral scanners, and 3D printing. The office was built in 2018 with modern design in mind — clean lines, a calming aesthetic, and abundant windows that flood the space with natural light and offer beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. You’ll be supported by a team of highly skilled professionals, including multiple EFDA assistants, allowing you to work efficiently and focus on delivering exceptional care. It’s a place where patients and team members alike feel welcome and inspired.
At Blue Ridge Dental Group, you’ll join a supportive, collaborative team that values connection, growth, and service. Our team is kind, genuinely enjoys working together, and operates with a shared sense of purpose. We’ve cultivated a strong team-based culture grounded in a shared mission and core values. You’ll work alongside three other passionate and experienced dentists who are not only skilled clinicians but also enthusiastic mentors. Whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned dentist looking to grow, you’ll find opportunities to expand your skills, pursue areas of interest, and even explore a path toward partnership — all while inheriting a well-loved segment of the practice from our retiring partner.
