At Tend, we’re doing dental differently — replacing the obstacles of traditional dental care with hospitality, comprehensive diagnostics, and moments of Surprise and Delight. For many of our members, we’re the first practice where they’ve felt genuinely at ease about their oral health. That trust is an extraordinary opportunity, and a real responsibility.

As a Dentist at Tend, you’ll deliver best-in-class clinical care in a modern, thoughtfully designed studio. You’ll be busy from day one, treating a well-booked schedule of members across a full scope of operative, restorative, and cosmetic procedures — supported by an experienced clinical and operational team. We diagnose the whole person, looking beyond decay and gum disease to malocclusion, occlusal wear, and sleep-disordered breathing, so members leave informed, respected, and in control of their care.

Depending on your experience and interests, this role offers the opportunity to focus on delivering exceptional clinical care as an Associate Dentist or to take on additional leadership responsibilities as a Lead Dentist — helping guide clinical excellence, mentor teammates, and hold the standard for your studio.

Our model is built for driven dentists: those who want to grow clinically, take on complex cases, lead with confidence, and be rewarded for high performance. You’ll be part of a collaborative, energized team that’s raising the bar for dentistry — and having fun doing it.

Associate Dentists: 30–40% of adjusted productionLead Dentists: 32–40% of adjusted production, reflecting their expanded clinical leadership and impact

Lead Dentists are also eligible for a monthly studio performance bonus, tied to key clinical and operational KPIs.
