💙 Why New Grads Love It Here

• 🧠 1:1 Mentorship: Work directly with an experienced dentist who will guide your clinical decision-making, help you build confidence, and support your long-term goals.

• 🌱 Grow at Your Own Pace: The clinic is structured to help new dentists expand their skill set gradually and thoughtfully. You’ll have the freedom to develop confidence in each procedure before taking on new challenges — supported every step of the way by your mentor and team.
• 💪 The Dream Team: Your Registered Dental Assistants are the true backbone of this clinic — tenured, highly skilled, and fully supportive. They handle charting, process temp crowns and X-rays, flip rooms, perform sealants and coronal polishing, and keep patient flow smooth so you can focus on dentistry.
• 🌍 Give Back While You Grow: Every patient you serve expands access to care for rural families who truly need it.
• 🌲 Balanced Lifestyle: A 4-day workweek means more time to recharge, explore the redwoods, and live life beyond the operatory.
