Imagine helping someone smile for the first time in years.

Many of our patients have gone without dental care because of financial barriers. Restoring a smile means so much more than fixing teeth—it helps people eat comfortably, find employment, laugh with confidence, and improve their overall health and well-being.

We're looking for a compassionate, patient-centred Associate Dentist (Independent Contractor) to join our community-focused, non-profit dental clinic.

Curious about what makes our clinic different? We'd love to meet you! We invite you to reach out, tour our clinic, and get to know our incredible team before you even apply.

If you're passionate about making a meaningful difference in your community, we'd love to hear from you.
