    About the Position

    A well-established, multi-location dental group is seeking a General Dentist to join its growing team in Eastern North Carolina. This position will initially include 1 day per week in Morehead City (with the office opening in March/April) and 3 days per week in Jacksonville, transitioning to additional days in Morehead City as the practice becomes fully established.

    The Jacksonville location serves a patient population that is approximately 75% North Carolina Medicaid, so the ideal provider must be comfortable treating Medicaid patients. The Morehead City office will also accept Medicaid but is designed to function more like a private practice, accepting major insurance plans along with cash and private-pay patients.

    The incoming dentist should be confident providing comprehensive general dentistry, including oral surgery and removable prosthodontics.

    • 1 additional Dentist

    • 2 Dental Assistants

    • 2 Hygienists

    Schedule:

    • Monday–Thursday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

    • Restorative appointments: 60 minutes

    • Crown appointments: 90 minutes

    • Patient mix includes Medicaid, cash, and private-pay
