What You Get & Give

It’s not just industry-leading tech or best-in-class treatments that set us apart (although our people get to do both). Here, real growth opportunities require real commitment. You’ll be challenged to keep levelling up – expanding your skills, learning new things, and pushing the boundaries of what the best in dental can be. In return, you’re backed by a national team that’s as ambitious as you are, and an entrepreneurial culture that values wellbeing as much as new ideas and fast decisions.

This is your chance to experience the future of dentistry, today. Because with a purpose that leads the industry and the network to make it happen – this is where you go further, stay ahead, and grow beyond what you thought possible.

The salary range for this position is $145,000 CAD to $165,000 CAD annually (plus a bonus of up to 20% and competitive total rewards and benefits package). Offers within this range are determined based on relevant experience, skills, and qualifications, as well as internal equity considerations. This job posting is for an existing vacancy.
