Associate Dentist PRN

About this role

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.

Our PRN Associate Dentists are an essential part of how we deliver on that promise. When you pick up shifts at Tend, you step into a modern, fully equipped studio with a warm, experienced team already in place. The schedule is booked, the support is ready, and the clinical infrastructure is built for you to do your best work. You’ll treat a full scope of operative, restorative, and cosmetic procedures — diagnosing the whole person and helping members leave informed, respected, and in control of their care.

This is a PRN (per diem) role. You’ll pick up shifts as needed and are paid a day rate of $900–$1,000. No minimum hours, no lead responsibilities — just exceptional clinical care when and where we need you.

What You’ll Do

Clinical Excellence & Scope of Practice

• 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

• Treat a dynamic mix of cases that go beyond basic dentistry, with opportunities to perform comprehensive, esthetic, and function-driven care

• Lead comprehensive exams that diagnose the whole person — every member leaves aware of their dental conditions and potential solutions in a way that is clear, confident, and efficient

• Develop thoughtful, member-centered treatment plans grounded in legitimate clinical findings and honest risk assessment, driving both oral health outcomes and case acceptance

• Diagnose and treat TMJ-related conditions, including the delivery of therapeutic Botox as part of a comprehensive care approach

Clear Aligner & Sleep Therapy

• Identify and address malocclusion, occlusal wear, fracture lines, and sleep-disordered breathing early — using our tested frameworks to educate members compassionately and help them avoid more invasive outcomes

• Drive adoption and growth of clear aligner treatment, from diagnosis through case planning, bonding, and follow-up care

• Evaluate and treat members for sleep-disordered breathing, incorporating sleep medicine solutions into treatment planning where appropriate

• Build proficiency in aligner case selection, staging, and execution, contributing to a high-performing aligner program

Productivity, Flow & Patient Experience

• Manage a dynamic, productive schedule — balancing operative procedures, hygiene checks, aligner starts, and same-day treatment opportunities

• Partner with studio teams to build efficient and productive shifts — reviewing schedules in advance, engaging in daily huddles, and offering same-day care when possible

• 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 Personalized Care, Empowering Communication, and Human Compassion

• Hold the line on our Priority Framework: safety first, then outstanding member experience, then efficiency — never trading one for another

Team Collaboration

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

• Collaborate across disciplines to ensure alignment in treatment planning, execution, and patient experience

• Engage in ongoing clinical calibration and peer learning to maintain and expand scope

Who You Are

You embody our Tend values and bring the competencies that make exceptional clinical care possible. At tend, these values aren’t just words on a wall — they’re how we hire, lead, and collaborate. Every team member is expected to show up with a mindset grounded in our mission, vision, and values.

Tend Values

Tend to Others: You put members and teammates first — delivering outstanding care and a genuinely human experience, even in a fast-paced per diem environment. You show up ready, engaged, and present for the people in your chair.

Be Brave Enough to Lead: You act with integrity and take clinical ownership. As a PRN provider, you step into new studios with confidence, make sound decisions independently, and hold yourself to the same standard you’d expect from anyone on your team.

Savor the Ride: You bring positive energy into every shift — celebrating the work, staying resilient through the unexpected, and making the team better just by being there.

Embrace Our Differences: You welcome diverse perspectives, communicate with respect, and meet every member where they are — adapting your approach to make each person feel seen and heard.

Rooted in Growth: You’re always learning — whether that’s refining your technique, deepening your knowledge of aligner therapy, or absorbing a new workflow in a studio you’ve never worked in before.

Role-Based Competencies

Earn and Give Trust: You earn the confidence of members and teammates through honesty, transparency, and consistent follow-through — especially in a setting where you may be meeting people for the first time.

Lead with Clinical Judgment: You make sound clinical decisions grounded in data, evidence, and patient needs. In a per diem context, that means being decisive and self-directed without sacrificing thoroughness or quality.

Adapt and Execute: You can read a room, integrate quickly into a new studio environment, and deliver excellent care regardless of whether it’s your first or fiftieth shift with a given team.
