Associate Dentist — Surgical Track (Full-Arch / Yomi S)

Associate Dentist — Surgical Track (Full-Arch / Yomi S)

Grand Valley Implant Dentistry — Allendale, MI

Comp: $150K–$300K+ Pathway + Surgical Training Track

Optional Paid Residency-Style Fast Track Available

What This Role Actually Is

This is not a traditional associate position.

This is a compressed surgical training pathway designed to take a motivated doctor from basic dentistry → full-mouth reconstruction surgery in under 9 months.

You will train on the Yomi S robotic system, advanced digital workflows, and full-arch implant cases.

Most dentists take 5–10+ years to reach this level.

Here, the right candidate can begin assisting immediately and progress to surgery in as little as 6 weeks–6 months.

Two Tracks (Choose One)1. Earn + Train (Associate Path)

• $75/hr or 26% of production (whichever is higher)
• Income while training
• Gradual progression into surgery

2. Accelerated Surgical Residency (Limited Spots)

• Doctors invest in training (residency-style model)
• Faster access to surgical reps, mentorship, and case volume
• Designed for those who want maximum speed to mastery

What You’ll Do

• Perform hygiene, sealants, and preventive care (yes, this matters for patient trust and case flow)
• Diagnose and present treatment plans
• Convert patients from confusion → clarity → treatment acceptance
• Perform same-day dentistry (fillings, crowns, extractions)
• Assist and progress into:
• Implant placement
• Bone grafting
• Full-arch surgery (All-on-4 / TeethXpress / FP1 workflows)
• Train directly in robot-assisted surgery (Yomi S)
• Learn digital systems: CBCT, guided surgery, workflow integration

Guaranteed Progression

• Assist on advanced cases: Week 1
• Place implants (qualified candidates): 6 weeks–6 months
• Perform full-arch surgery: < 9 months (guaranteed for committed operators)

If you don’t want that level of growth, this is the wrong role.

What Matters (Non-Negotiable)

• You want to become a top 1% operator, not an average dentist
• You move fast, learn fast, and take ownership
• You are comfortable starting with foundational work (hygiene, sealants) to build skill + trust
• You are coachable and can handle high standards + direct feedback

Qualifications

• DDS or DMD (recent grads welcome)
• Active or eligible for Michigan license
• Strong communication and patient education skills
• Interest in surgery, implants, and full-mouth reconstruction

Environment

• High-output implant and full-arch center
• Advanced tech: CBCT, digital workflows, Yomi S robotics
• Systems-driven, fast-paced, growth-focused
• Direct mentorship with clear surgical pathway

Compensation Reality

• Base: $75/hr or 26% of production
• Target: $250K–$300K+ within 12–24 months (for high performers)
• Surgical skill = income ceiling expansion
