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.

Compensation & Earning Potential

Our compensation model is designed to reward high-quality clinical care, comprehensive treatment, and strong production—while providing consistency and transparency.

All dentists receive a guaranteed daily rate and earn a tiered percentage of adjusted production, with:

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.

What You’ll Do

Clinical Excellence & Scope of Practice (All Dentists)

• Deliver a full spectrum of high-quality clinical services—including restorative care such as inlays/onlays, crowns, veneers, endodontics, extractions, implants, and cosmetic dentistry—within Tend’s modern, digitally enabled studio environment

• Drive production through proactive diagnosis, completion of full treatment plans, and efficient use of chair time—without compromising quality of care
• Deliver a hospitality-driven member experience grounded in the Three C’s — Personalized Care, Empowering Communication, and Human Compassion — bridging the knowledge gap so members understand not just what, but why
• Hold the line on our Priority Framework: safety first, then outstanding member experience, then efficiency — never trading one for another

Team Collaboration & Studio Performance (All Dentists)

• Partner closely with dental assistants, hygienists, and studio leadership to deliver coordinated, high-quality care

• Lead clinical onboarding, training, and ongoing development of providers, reinforcing Tend standards and best practices
• Partner with the Studio Manager to optimize scheduling, member access, and studio performance—driving both care outcomes and production
• Lead daily huddles and clinical calibrations focused on workflow, member care, and continuous improvement
• Review clinical outcomes (including re-dos and escalations) and implement solutions to improve quality and consistency of care
• Own complex cases and member escalations using our Empathy → Confidence approach — listen actively, recap concerns with warmth, and present a resolution. The provider holds the thread.
• Help build a high-performing, growth-oriented studio culture in partnership with clinical and operational leadership
