Associate Dentist - 45% Production | Busy Rural Schedule | Mentorship Available
Tri-Town Dental - Cold Lake, Alberta
Owner-operated | Not DSO | High-demand rural market | Modern tech | Flexible schedule
Tri-Town Dental is hiring an Associate Dentist who wants a full schedule, autonomy, modern dentistry, and real support without corporate pressure.
We are an owner-operated dental clinic in Cold Lake, Alberta with strong rural demand, a growing patient base, and a clear focus on better systems, better clinical flow, patient experience, and long-term team culture. If you want to get busy quickly, protect your chair time, and build meaningful clinical momentum, this is a strong opportunity.
What We Offer
- 45% of production - transparent and simple
- Flexible schedule: casual, part-time, or full-time available
- High-demand rural market with full-book potential
- Relocation/retention support up to $3,000 available - terms apply
- Canada Student Loan Forgiveness may apply for eligible candidates
- Mentorship available: light-touch support to hands-on coaching
- Clinic visit / shadow day available for serious candidates
- Owner-operated clinic - not corporate / not DSO
Why Tri-Town Dental Is Different
We are building a clinic where the dentist can focus on dentistry. That means strong scheduling discipline, better handoffs, cleaner room standards, assistant/hygiene support, and a Practice Manager helping protect clinical flow.
This is not a “sit and wait for patients” position. Cold Lake has real dental demand, and good clinicians can build quickly here.
Clinical Environment
Depending on your interests and experience, there is opportunity for:
- General restorative dentistry
- Emergencies and same-day care
- Endodontics
- Oral surgery
- Implants, grafting, and PRF capability
- Clear aligners
- Crown/bridge and removable prosth
- Digital workflows
- CBCT imaging - Instrumentarium OP300
- Intraoral scanning
- Biolase laser
You do not need to do everything. We are looking for the right fit clinically and culturally.
Mentorship + Autonomy
Newer dentists may be considered if coachable, clinically responsible, and committed to quality. Experienced dentists are strongly encouraged to apply.
Mentorship can be tailored to your needs: case planning, treatment sequencing, surgery/endo exposure, communication, efficiency, documentation, or simply light-touch support while you work independently.
Best Fit
This role is ideal for a dentist who:
- Wants high earning potential without corporate pressure
- Values quality dentistry, documentation, and patient communication
- Wants autonomy with real support
- Is reliable, patient-first, and team-oriented
- Is comfortable in a busy environment with systems and accountability
- Has interest in surgery, endo, aligners, implants, sedation, or digital dentistry
Why Cold Lake
Cold Lake offers short commutes, lake-country lifestyle, trails, boating, fishing, beaches, year-round outdoor recreation, and strong community demand for care. If you want volume, impact, and a life outside the clinic, rural dentistry can be a major advantage.
Eligible dentists working in qualifying rural/remote communities may also qualify for Canada Student Loan Forgiveness, subject to Government of Canada / NSLSC requirements.
Requirements
- DDS/DMD or equivalent
- Licensed or eligible to practise dentistry in Alberta
- Must hold CDSA registration and a valid Alberta practice permit before providing dental services
- Professional, reliable, patient-first, and team-oriented
- Strong communication and documentation habits
- GPs and specialists welcome where aligned with CDSA permit/scope
